The 20-year-old actress and student took over the role from Rachel Covey, who originated the part in 2007′s Enchanted, and in a new interview with Cosmopolitan, revealed how she used the original movie to shape her own performance.
Amy Adams‘ 12-year-old daughter Aviana makes a brief appearance in her new Disney+ movie Disenchanted, but if you blink, you might miss it!
While appearing on The Late Late Show with James Corden on Monday night (November 21), Amy explained the interesting reason why her daughter is in the movie.
When you look up the official Disney princess lineup, you’ll see all the iconic animated royals – Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Mulan, Pocahontas, Rapunzel, Tiana, Elsa, Anna, Moana and even Merida is part of it.
But why isn’t Enchanted and Disenchanted Giselle?
You might think it’s because Giselle is part animated, part live action. However, there’s a bit more to why Giselle isn’t part of the lineup.
Original Enchanted star Rachel Covey was the first actress to play Morgan, the daughter of Robert, and step daughter to Giselle, in the film franchise.
As the sequel, Disenchanted, just debuted on Disney+, so many fans are asking why she wasn’t brought back as Morgan again.
The first trailer for Disenchanted is finally here!
The upcoming flick, which brings back Amy Adams and Patrick Dempsey as Giselle and Robert will feature new songs from Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz.
Here’s the summary: It has been 15 years since Giselle (Adams) and Robert (Dempsey) wed, but Giselle has grown disillusioned with life in the city, so they move their growing family to the sleepy suburban community of Monroeville in search of a more fairy tale life. Unfortunately, it isn’t the quick fix she had hoped for. Suburbia has a whole new set of rules and a local queen bee, Malvina Monroe (Maya Rudolph), who makes Giselle feel more out of place than ever.
Frustrated that her happily ever after hasn’t been so easy to find, she turns to the magic of Andalasia for help, accidentally transforming the entire town into a real-life fairy tale and placing her family’s future happiness in jeopardy.
Now, Giselle is in a race against time to reverse the spell and determine what happily ever after truly means to her and her family.
