Cast: Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey, Idina Menzel, James Marsden, Maya Rudolph
The “happily ever after” was just the prologue. Disenchanted 2: Spellbound Again explodes onto the screen, proving that while you can take the princess out of the fairytale, you cannot take the volatile, untamed magic out of the princess. Several years have passed since Giselle (Amy Adams) saved Andalasia and cemented her life in the suburbs, but the harmony she fought for is fracturing. A mysterious, seismic ripple has opened between the animated realm of Andalasia and the concrete reality of our world, awakening a dormant, raw power within Giselle that she never meant to unleash.
Amy Adams returns with a tour-de-force performance, balancing her signature luminous charm with a newfound, terrifying emotional intensity. She portrays a Giselle torn asunder, caught between the seductive perfection of the storybook dreams she once chased and the complex, messy, yet miraculous reality she has built with Robert. Patrick Dempsey brings his grounded warmth and sharp humor back as Robert, who finds himself fighting a losing battle to maintain normalcy as his wife’s subconscious whims begin to instantaneously—and disastrously—rewrite reality around them.
The stakes are raised by the return of Queen Nancy (Idina Menzel) and King Edward (James Marsden). Menzel dazzles as the fierce guardian of Andalasia, whose legendary voice is the only force capable of bending the wild magic back into shape, while Marsden delivers pure comedic gold as the gallantly clueless King, hilariously unprepared for a world where his sword is useless against zoning laws and magical anomalies. Meanwhile, Maya Rudolph steals every scene she is in as Malvina Monroe. The former queen bee finds her villainous flair reignited when the merging worlds grant her a second, darker chance at supreme power, threatening to turn the suburb into her personal fiefdom.
As the barrier between worlds dissolves, fantastical forests erupt through skyscrapers and mythical creatures stalk the local malls. Giselle must confront the “Shadow of the Wish”—a dark manifestation of her desire for perfection that threatens to consume both worlds. Blending heart-wrenching emotion with whimsical chaos, soaring new musical numbers, and shimmering visual effects, Disenchanted 2 is a dazzling journey about the courage it takes to let go of the perfect ending to embrace the beautiful, imperfect now. In a world where magic can break or heal with a single breath, even the sweetest fairytales can bite back.
