Giselle's Dresses: My favourite ones

posted by LisaForde

Here is an article that I am going to talk to all toi fans about my favourite Giselle dresses.

Giselle's Wedding Dress: This was my least favourite as it was extremely awkward and very bulky. I l’amour the papillon design and the glittery affect it has on the dress.

Giselle's rose dress: This was Giselle's first dress in the movie and I liked the shade of rose on the dress. The end of the dress reminded me of the dress she wore at the ball.

Giselle's blue dress: I loved this dress as it is a turquoise colour designed with pink/yellow flowers. I also like the white slip on the dress.

The majority of the visual effects shots in Il était une fois were done par Tippett Studio in Berkeley, California, who contributed a total of 320 shots. These shots involved virtual sets, environmental effects and CG characters that performed alongside real actors, namely the animated animaux during the "Happy Working Song" sequence, Pip and the Narissa dragon during the live action portions of the film.

ReelFX did four visual effects shots involving the pop-up book page-turn transitions...

At that moment, Prince Edward had jumped down that well along with Pip at his side.

"Fear not, Giselle. I will rescue you!" he cried out.

"Yea, but who's gonna rescue me??"Pip yelled. He was not really used to making himself fall on purpose.

"Alright, let's close it up!" a workman said, on that New York morning. Just then, Prince Edward jumped through the manhole, and took out his sword.

"Silence!" Prince Edward said.

"Guys, guys, I got it," the work man said.

"Your name peasant. Quickly!" Prince Edward a dit putting the sword on the workman's throat.

The Cast & Charcthers of Il était une fois

posted by LisaForde

Amy Adams with Patrick Dempsey as Giselle & Robert along with Rachel Covey

Amy Adams as Giselle.Adams was announced to have been cast in the role of Giselle on November 14, 2005.Although the studio was looking for a film étoile, star in the role, director Kevin Lima insisted on casting a lesser-known actress. Out of the 300 ou so actrices who auditioned for the role, Adams stood out to Lima because not only did she look like "a Disney princess" but her "commitment to the character, her ability to escape into the character's being without ever judging the character was overwhelming.

"Hailing from Andalasia, Giselle displays similar traits to the Disney Princesses; Lima describes...

Major plot holes in Il était une fois

posted by LisaForde

Her cartoon self has bright red hair like Thumbelina

Before Giselle came into our world she only had a collier but no earings to match it but when she comes out of a manhole she magically has them on her.

When Giselle comes out of the manhole we see sparlkles coming out of her wedding dress but after that we don't see the sprakles anymore

When Robert is talking to Phoebe her hand is on the table, tableau whereas before she hadn't her hands on the table.

How did Giselle end up in Robert's place so quick she hardly went on the train where the subway was ou maybe she did.

The suivant morning when Robert sees Nancy ,and he runs out ,he is rather scruffy looking...

Ever wonder what it would be like if all your favourite Disney princess films came to life and goes to the big pomme in human form i.e. Ariel ou Belle for example well that’s what happens in this fairytale comedy about a soon to be princess who comes to life in NY and falls for a real life man who’s an attorney.

Enchanted pokes fun of a lot of Disney films like The Little Mermaid(Giselle & Robert are like a déjà vu version of Ariel & Eric only Eric isn’t a father who works as an attorney in NY and Ariel’s hair is plus darker compare to Giselle’s yet both of them are so...

There are many parts of this movie that were purposely[5] included par the filmmakers to be a specific reference to other Disney movies[6]. A liste of official references was provided par the filmmakers to reviewers so they could include them as talking points in their reviews. The items on the official liste were:

I l’amour both of these films so here is why I l’amour both Raiponce & Enchanted.

The Charcthers

Enchanted
First up is Giselle who I actually found hilarious as she was so OTT and sweet. I like how Amy Adams acted in the real world and I think she was snubbed at the oscars for this film.Sure it was daft in a way but come on I liked the film. As for Patrick Dempsey this is the ONLY movie I loved him in because he was charming and funny as Robert Philip.

Getting Ever After

“Is this a habit of yours? Falling off of stuff?”

“Only when you’re around to catch me…”

Robert and Giselle then leaned vers l'avant, vers l’avant and shared several kisses despite the fact that it was raining. When they finally broke apart Robert thought of something. “Uh- how do we get down?”

Giselle smiled. “The same way I got up I suppose.”

About five minutes later both Robert and Giselle were safely on the balcony just in time to see Edward slip one of Giselle’s slippers onto Nacy’s feet. “What the-” asked Robert as Edward took Nancy’s hand and led her out of the...

My opinion on the movie(for all those who like it )

posted by LisaForde

My favourite part (Giselle and Robert)

Okey I have this on Dvd ,and I like the film ,sure there is some daft scenes in it like the whole manhole thing(jezz how did the girl even get in the manhole),very cheesy,sweet-like and girly but salut this movie actually has a meaningiful background to it. Like toi can't fall for someone in a jour yet Robert (Patrick's charcther )fell for Giselle in 3 days and ends up being with her and leaves Nancy for her (jezz),and also it tells us that true l’amour can happen in both reailty and fiction .For example Nancy got Edward and ends up in Andalasia in animated form and Giselle stays in NY with Robert who is her real true love. But the only 2 faults I have to it are : 1.the manhole plot and the dragon scene was cool but it was too quick and yet it was a very ironic scene where the dragon had Robert and Giselle was rescuing him as he was her real true love.

10/10 for me as I l’amour the movie and plus I am a Disney fan at heart.
