What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Giselle's post-happily-ever-after life is transformed by a wish that turns domestic dissatisfaction into a new fairy-tale crisis.
Giselle, Robert, and Morgan move to Monroeville, where suburban adjustment collides with the fantasy logic of Andalasia.
Giselle wishes for a perfect fairy-tale life, but the spell creates danger for her family and homeland.
Princesses, magic, wishes, Andalasia, and musical fantasy set pieces shape the film's visual and tonal presentation.
