Nothing Stays Enchanted in First Trailer for Disenchanted

It was back in 2007 when we first met Amy Adams’ ever-optimistic Princess Giselle, and after a series of delays, the sequel is finally coming this Thanksgiving season.

Just in, Disney has dropped the first trailer for Disenchanted, and it sees Giselle having second thoughts about her happily ever after. Watch this:

Here’s the official story synopsis:

It has been 15 years since Giselle (Amy Adams) and Robert (Patrick Dempsey) wed, but Giselle has grown disillusioned with life in the city, so they move their growing family to the sleepy suburban community of Monroeville in search of a more fairy tale life. Unfortunately, it isn’t the quick fix she had hoped for. Suburbia has a whole new set of rules and a local queen bee, Malvina Monroe (Maya Rudolph), who makes Giselle feel more out of place than ever. Frustrated that her happily ever after hasn’t been so easy to find, she turns to the magic of Andalasia for help, accidentally transforming the entire town into a real-life fairy tale and placing her family’s future happiness in jeopardy. Now, Giselle is in a race against time to reverse the spell and determine what happily ever after truly means to her and her family.

The first film was actually a hit when it came out, and critics had loved it for being a love letter to classic Disney princesses. Though Giselle’s arc seems pretty clear in the story description, the trailer does hint at her somewhat becoming her own evil villain in a way.

Besides the returning cast members, the movie also promises some great music, with some original songs from Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz. Hopefully we get some full songs before the release. If you ask me, they should have tried this movie out in theaters before putting it on Disney+.

Catch Disenchanted when it premieres on Disney+ on Nov. 24.
