Remember how I said I would talk about some of the many hidden Disney references in Enchanted? Well, here they are!
WARNING! This following article contains spoilers for Disney's Enchanted.
•The restaurant Giselle, Robert, and Morgan visit is called
Bella Notte, named after the song of the same name in Lady and the
Tramp.
•When Giselle eats the poison apple, her arm is exposed to the
camera and the apple rolls out of her hand, a homage to the same fate
of Snow White in Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
•The actress who plays Sam, the lady at the counter, is Jodi Benson, who was also the original voice of Ariel in The Little Mermaid.
The lady on the left is Sam.
•When Giselle is looking at the fish tank, instrumentals for 'Part Of Your World' can be heard in the background.
•The characters in the soap opera Nathaniel watches are named
Angela and Jerry, named after the legendary actors Angela Lansbury and
Jerry Orbach. Lansbury and Orbach voiced Mrs. Potts and Lumiere
respectively in Beauty and the Beast. Angela (the soap opera character)
is played by Paige O'Hara, who was the original voice of Belle in Beauty
and the Beast.
•During that same scene, the Pink Elephants theme from Dumbo
can be heard, and a clip of the package film Fun and Fancy Free can be
seen.
•When Giselle is washing the floor in Robert's apartment,
bubbles float around with reflections of her inside them, just like that
scene in Cinderella.
•Before going off to rescue Robert, Giselle leaves one of her glass slippers in the ballroom, an obvious nod to Cinderella.
•During the 'Happy Working Song', flies squeeze water out of a
cloth by twisting it, just like how the bluebirds did it with a sponge
in Cinderella.
•The name of the news reporter is Mary Eileen Caselotti, named
after the original voice actors of the first three Disney Princesses.
Adrianna Caselotti was the original voice of Snow White, Eileen Woods
was the original voice of Cinderella, and Mary Costa was the original
voice of Aurora.
•When Narissa dies, ashes are left in her place, just like Maleficent's death in Sleeping Beauty.
•Giselle holds a pair of diamonds up to her eyes in the same way Dopey did in Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
•When a frog jumps into the kitchen sink, he dons a bubble
crown, a reference to The Princess and the Frog, which was in
development at the time.
•Nancy's last name is Tremaine, which was the name of Cinderella's stepmother.
•During the 'That's How You Know' number, Giselle jumps onstage into a play of Rapunzel, a nod to Tangled (which was in development when Enchanted premiered, but the working title was Rapunzel).
