Directed by Adam Shankman and featuring new songs from Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz, Disenchanted debuts November 18 on Disney+.
It has been more than ten years since Giselle (Adams) and Robert (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 (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. However, she accidentally transforms the entire town into a real-life fairy tale, putting 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.
Adam Shankman directed from a screenplay by Brigitte Hales and a story by J. David Stem & David N. Weiss, and Richard LaGravenese. The movie is produced by Barry Josephson, Barry Sonnenfeld, and Amy Adams, with Jo Burn, Sunil Perkash, and Adam Shankman serving as executive producers.
Disenchanted features songs with music by eight-time Oscar-winning composer Alan Menken and lyrics by three-time Oscar-winning lyricist Stephen Schwartz, whose work on Enchanted garnered three Academy Award nominations and a score by Alan Menken.
The digital soundtrack from Walt Disney Records will be available on November 18 and is available for Pre-Save/Pre-Add here.
