Some Disenchanted thoughts (spoilers!!):
Amy Adams has RANGE y’all. She was fabulous
The fact that Giselle, Morgan, Robert, and Tyson all got to be the heroes, there wasn’t just one person who swept in an did it all themselves was just… *chef’s kiss*
Idina Menzel 😍
There was a great balance of magic and real life stuff in a way that was different enough to make it unique from the original but also honor what sets Enchanted apart as a movie
The costume department popped off, y’all
Robert being head over heels for Giselle and being a really good dad is just very soothing to watch lol. And the part where he saved the little girl whose family was identical to his 😭 poetic cinema
Peep James Monroe Iglehart! I got so excited when I heard his voice 😂
Yep I just love everything about this film lol. I don’t think it was better than the original but I don’t think it needs to be, either. It was special in its own way and I’m going to be talking about it forever 😂❤️

plus they turned morgan into max goof
Yep what an original personality… not! Morgan was done so dirty in the sequel, and her sarcastic personality felt so unoriginal, and the plot seemed a little too reliant on her schadenfreude before and after the wish such as her wardrobe getting barbecued as a sick form of cruel and unusual punishment and coffee was spilled on her her. We also don’t even know the reason why her relationship with Giselle became strained because ‘Nothing happens’ in Disenchanted.
That’s why I’m drastically changing her personality in Tftoml to make her feel like a more relatable and likable teenaged protagonist and what’s helping with shaping her character is her good sibling relationship with 6 year old Sofie and her love of fairytales (which I’ve kept in my fic) helps enhance her own perspective on her own growing interests. In conclusion, my whole strategy in writing The fairytale of my life is, “take everything Disenchanted failed to accomplish, and do them 10 trillion times better.” Here’s hoping that Gabriella Baldacchino gets a better acting career in the future and that she doesn’t have to keep playing an outdated stereotype. Heck if Disenchanted came out in 2017, maybe they would’ve kept Rachel Covey. Spoilers, for The fairytale of my life imagine Morgan being portrayed by a teenaged Rachel Covey.
Also as mentioned in the previous ask, this will be the last Tftoml related question I’ll answer since I’m going to be busy this November writing the remaining chapters before typing them out in Docs. I’ll update soon when I’m ready to answer once I’ve finished posting more tftoml chapters.
