On Disney+.\n    <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Giselle (Amy Adams) didn\u2019t sour on Manhattan because of crime, rising costs of living and rapidly deteriorating conditions, though. The cartoon princess, who found herself transported from her magic kingdom of Andalasia to the big city during the first film 15 years ago, now has a baby with her lawyer husband Robert (Patrick Dempsey) and their apartment along Central Park is too small for their growing family, which also includes her teenage stepdaughter Morgan.<\/p>\n<p>So, the clan schleps to a house in a fake suburb called Monroeville that would probably be located in Westchester.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/disenchanted-disney-5.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Giselle (Amy Adams, left) is a new mom with Robert (Patrick Dempsey) in &quot;Disechanted.&quot; \" class=\"wp-image-24697663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/disenchanted-disney-5.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/disenchanted-disney-5.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/disenchanted-disney-5.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Giselle (Amy Adams, left) is a new mom with Robert (Patrick Dempsey) in \u201cDisechanted.\u201d <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Disney Enterprises, Inc.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And just like that, the whole point of this fish-out-of-water franchise is unceremoniously tossed into the Hudson. No more gags with an innocent Disney princess who radiates goodness clashing with angry, perpetually frowning, clad-in-black New Yorkers. Instead we\u2019re ladled familiar family slop that has mamma Giselle butt heads with spitfire Morgan (Gabriella Baldacchino), who misses her old home.<\/p>\n<p>Not sure of what to do, upset Giselle takes a wishing wand that her old flame Edward (James Marsden) and his wife Nancy (Idina Menzel) gifted her baby, and sings \u201cI Wish We Had a Fairy Tale Life.\u201d\u00a0That spell turns Monroeville into something like the storybook village of \u201cBeauty and the Beast\u201d overnight.
