Why Enchanted's Giselle Isn't Technically A Disney Princess, Explained

The kindhearted and beautiful Enchanted heroine Giselle would make the perfect Disney Princess, but she's mysteriously absent from the company's official line-up. Audiences first met Giselle (Amy Adams) in 2007 when Enchanted hit theaters. A blend of classic Disney 2D animation and live-action, Enchanted sees the animated Giselle exiled from her kingdom of Andalasia and transported to the loud, cynical live-action world of New York City. A total fish out of water, Giselle eventually finds her happily ever after while learning that the world is a lot more complex than she thought.
Enchanted was a smash hit with audiences and critics alike, earning over $340 million at the worldwide box office (via Box Office Mojo) and a Certified Fresh score of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. The pundits praised Enchanted's smart sendup of fairy tale tropes, and were particularly impressed with Adams' performance as Giselle, particularly because it was her first time leading a film.
