| Disenchanted (2022) / int_1434e55c | comment |
Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Morgan has become a teenager so Giselle's magical fairy tale whimsy can be awkward in the extreme for Morgan to deal with, however, it's indicated that deep down Morgan still loves all of this, as when Giselle starts up a musical number, after Morgan implores her not to, she just smiles, shakes her head and goes along with it without further complaint. | |

Power at a Price | |
| Disenchanted (2022) / int_1ebbdddb | comment |
Power at a Price: Giselle using the wand to rewrite Monroeville into Monrolasia threatens to destroy Andalasia because the spell takes its power from there. It also apparently comes close to destroying the real world based on how much damage occurs when the wish almost becomes permanent. | |

ThereCanOnlyBeOne | |
| Disenchanted (2022) / int_23754e26 | comment |
When Giselle realizes she is becoming a wicked stepmother, she spells out to Pip the "rules" of villains in fairytales, which as it turns out are the rules of Disney villains: There Can Only Be One villain (most Disney movies have one villainous antagonist), not counting "minions or pets" (those being the two recurring types of henchmen for Disney movies). She also adds another possible exception: "villains that you don't know are villains until it is too late", a reference to Disney's recent trend of making "twist villains" most famously-illustrated by Frozen (2013). | |

When the Clock Strikes Twelve: The Wishing Wand's sentient scroll intones that "at the last stroke of twelve, nothing will be as it was before." As the time draws nearer, both Robert and Tyson battle against the mechanisms within the clock to prevent it from chiming the last stroke of Midnight. | |

Split Personality | |
| Disenchanted (2022) / int_370aad9 | comment |
Split Personality: As Giselle is forced by the wish to become an Evil Stepmother, that part of her ends up resembling this. Giselle even refers to "her" as if she were a different person and at one point the two sides hold a conversation with each other. The stroke of midnight will result in a permanent Split-Personality Takeover if the wish isn't undone by then, though Giselle's good side is essentially buried by the evil side for most of the third act already. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Disenchanted (2022) / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: Nancy's song, "Love Power", has lyrics that contain multiple references to other roles played by Idina Menzel, who plays Nancy: "Let it grow, let it glow". This is a reference to the song "Let It Go" from Frozen, sung by Elsa, who was played by Idina Menzel. "As a ray of sunshine melts a cave of ice" does double duty as a Frozen reference: On its most basic level, the mention of ice works as a reference to how Elsa has ice power. Extra points for using melting ice to demonstrate to Morgan The Power of Love because more specifically, Elsa has ice power that she doesn't always have a handle on and sometimes manifests in ways that cause problems. Fortunately her sister's unconditional love, demonstrated in a climatic Act of True Love, shows her that love is even more powerful, helping Elsa both to undo mistakes involving her magic and to wield it much more confidently and effectively. And that's exactly the kind of Love Power that ends up saving the day. "It's like soaring on a magic broomstick" calls to mind "Defying Gravity," a song from Wicked (incidentally created by the film's lyricist) sung by Elphaba, a role Idina Menzel originated. | |

Child of Two Worlds | |
| Disenchanted (2022) / int_3eb9e19f | comment |
Child of Two Worlds: Played for Drama, Robert and Giselle's newborn daughter Sofia may have been born on Earth but is half-Andalasian by blood, however the fact that only a true Andalasian can use Andalasian magic causes Morgan, Giselle's stepdaughter from Earth, to feel left out. Luckily, Andalasian magic runs on Fairy Tale logic where The Power of Love reigns supreme, so being Happily Adopted is no different from being blood-related. As far as Andalasian magic’s concerned, Morgan is a true Andalasian. | |

Happily Adopted | |
| Disenchanted (2022) / int_48e8fe57 | comment |
Happily Adopted: Morgan by Giselle, her stepmother. Morgan calls her mom throughout the film; Robert refers to Giselle as "your mother" when speaking to Morgan. The conflict stems from Morgan's longing for Giselle to be just her mom. Giselle makes it clear at the end of the film that she doesn't care one bit that she and Morgan aren't biologically mother and daughter and has always considered Morgan hers, as the magic of Andalasia itself proves. | |

Race Against the Clock: Giselle is initially racing against the clock as she begins to notice her corruption into a Wicked Stepmother. The Wishing Scroll explains that the spell will be permanent at the stroke of midnight, but the others start trying to break the curse on Giselle before working on undoing the wish. | |

Sarcasm-Blind: Downplayed. Morgan, as a teenager, has started to use sarcasm a lot. Giselle isn't entirely blind to it, but she's not very good at picking it up and it usually takes her a few seconds to realize it's being used. Until she becomes an evil stepmother, where she uses it against Morgan. | |

Motive Decay: The wicked stepmother in Cinderella and similar fairy tales whose behavior Wicked Stepmother Giselle is based on had a pragmatic reason for interfering in her stepdaughter's relationship with the prince: she wanted one of her own daughters to marry him instead. As Sofia is a baby here, Giselle's actions to separate Morgan and Tyson are just For the Evulz. | |

| Disenchanted (2022) / int_5860c090 | comment |
Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Malvina in reality is a subversion, who seems to be set up as a rival to Giselle at first. She's a true Mean Girl all grown up and lording her position over other mothers, but never really reaches into villain territory except under the wish's influence. But she acts a bit nicer once the wish is undone, and she and Giselle quickly extend an olive branch to each other. | |

Only the Chosen May Wield: Only Andalasians can use the Wishing Wand. When evil queen Malvina tries to use it the magic literally blows up in her face. Morgan, believing herself not to be a true Andalasian daughter, is fearful that it won't work for her but Giselle's love for her means she counts as an Andalasian daughter too. | |

Evil Me Scares Me: Giselle and Pip are naturally terrified to find their identities being subsumed to their roles as the villains of the fairy tale wish. Malvina, who was the evil queen of Monrolasia but only remembers it as a vivid dream, shows a softer side towards Giselle implicitly from seeing herself in that role. | |

Foreshadowing: When Morgan first appears in Giselle's new "Monrolasia" reality, she's singing about chores and wearing an outfit heavily reminiscent of Cinderella. Specifically, the rags Cinderella wears while under the abusive control of Lady Tremaine, hinting that Morgan in this reality faces similar oppression with Giselle as her Wicked Stepmother, also the fact that she can perfectly replicate Giselle's signature singing vocalization not only foreshadows her role in this reality is that of a Disney Princess and thus is the real hero of the story, but also establishes that blood or not Morgan is Giselle's daughter, a fact that is central to the climax. | |

Blended Family Drama | |
| Disenchanted (2022) / int_b8ad38 | comment |
Blended Family Drama: Ultimately the crux of the entire conflict, Morgan even as a teenager absolutely adores her stepmother Giselle and all the magical Fairy Tale whimsy she represents, however she's very insecure about the "step" aspect of the relationship since a.) it's a constant reminder that her birth mother walked out on her and her father when she was a baby and b.) the birth of her half-sister only serves to make things worse with Morgan feeling like a fake, a mundane outsider in her own literally magical family. Ultimately this when combined with the stress of an unwanted and difficult move becomes too much for her teenage mind to handle and leads to Morgan verbally taking her frustrations out on Giselle, which is what causes Giselle, who just wants Morgan to be happy, to make her disastrous wish in the first place. | |

| Disenchanted (2022) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Robert and Edward went from major characters in the first film to not having much of a presence here. Robert is offscreen for a surprising amount of time considering he was the deuteragonist of the first film. Edward fares even worse, appearing only briefly in a handful of scenes and given a hand-waved excuse for not appearing at all in the climax. | |

Forced Transformation | |
| Disenchanted (2022) / int_b97a2fa7 | comment |
Forced Transformation: To fit with Giselle's more villainous persona as a Wicked Stepmother, the wish turns Pip from a cute little chipmunk into a menacing Right-Hand Cat. Malvina turns her flunkies into toads for failing to prevent Giselle from retrieving the wand. | |

Sadistic Choice | |
| Disenchanted (2022) / int_babc974 | comment |
Sadistic Choice: Giselle has to choose between undoing her wish and saving Andalasia but leaving her beloved Morgan in a sleeping curse (effectively killing her), or giving the wand to Malvina, saving Morgan, but letting Andalasia (including herself) die. She chooses to save Morgan. | |

Act of True Love | |
| Disenchanted (2022) / int_be445584 | comment |
Act of True Love: When Morgan is captured by Malvina, Giselle hands over the wand, the only thing capable of reversing the wish that's destroying Andalasia including Giselle herself, without a second thought and then as the clock strikes Midnight uses the last of her strength to sing one last song to Morgan to prove that she is her true daughter regardless of blood, a fact that helps Morgan resolve her insecurities about her relationship with Giselle and figure out how to use the wand to save the day at the last moment. | |

I Just Want to Be Special: While she buries it under a mountain of snark and teenage angst, it's implied that Morgan desperately wants to be included in all the magic and that the reason she starts rejecting both fairy tales and Giselle herself is due to feeling left out for not being a "true daughter of Andalasia". | |

Actually Quite Catchy: Though Morgan more or less says that Giselle's constant spontaneous musical numbers annoy her, and even tries to prevent her from starting one early on, her actual actions once Giselle does start singing proves otherwise as she just shakes her head, smiles, and goes along with it without further complaint, Foreshadowing that under all that teenage snark and angst, is a girl who still well and truly loves the magical fairy tale whimsy that Giselle represents and desperately wants to take part in it all. | |

Moving Angst: On top of her anxiety about not feeling like she's Giselle's "real" daughter, Morgan also didn't particularly want to move from the more cosmopolitan New York to the suburbs several hours away. Her first night in her new home ending with her new room being destroyed due to faulty electrics doesn't help. | |

Company Cross References | |
| Disenchanted (2022) / int_d9e48d0 | comment |
Company Cross References: As with the previous movie, Disenchanted is filled with Disney references. In the opening sequence panning over Andalasia, a young woman can be seen reading to sheep while sitting on the edge of a fountain, much like Belle in Beauty and the Beast. A firefly hanging around Pip's home bears a striking resemblance to Ray from The Princess and the Frog. The beginning of the movie reveals that Giselle was found in the forest as a baby by the various woodland creatures, who then took her in and raised her as one of their own, a la Mowgli and Tarzan. Pip's exclamation "Jumping jellysticks!" mimics another Disney Talking Animal Sidekick's "Jumping jellyfish!" The wish turning Giselle into a wicked stepmother and Morgan into her abused good stepdaughter relies heavily on Cinderella references, from Giselle mimicking Lady Tremaine to Pip turning into an Expy of Lucifer. When Giselle and Morgan go shopping, the dress store has an outfit much like Snow White's iconic costume and one like Belle's ballgown in Beauty and the Beast. There are numerous Snow White references, from Malvina being turned into an evil queen using a magical mirror to Giselle's wicked stepmother persona being a vain woman with a peacock motif. When Giselle realizes she is becoming a wicked stepmother, she spells out to Pip the "rules" of villains in fairytales, which as it turns out are the rules of Disney villains: There Can Only Be One villain (most Disney movies have one villainous antagonist), not counting "minions or pets" (those being the two recurring types of henchmen for Disney movies). She also adds another possible exception: "villains that you don't know are villains until it is too late", a reference to Disney's recent trend of making "twist villains" most famously-illustrated by Frozen (2013). Morgan is locked by her wicked stepmother in a tower from which she must escape through the window. Giselle forces a trio of fairies (who are even dressed in the same colors as Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather) to take care of her baby while the evil magical queen Malvina intends on using a "sleeping potion" on her and has a spinning wheel in her lair, as seen in "Badder". During "Perfect", Morgan climbs a stack of boxes and a bucket of water is thrown up behind her, matching a shot from The Little Mermaid. "Badder" is "Disney Villains Shout-Out: The Song". It namedrops Maleficent and Cruella (and the absurdity of a story that features them both), and as Malvina explores her various options for destroying her rival, we see she keeps in her chambers a poisoned apple, a a rose kept under glass and a bottle with "Drink Me" written on it. Malvina also tells Giselle to "jump down a rabbit hole". "Badder" has Giselle instruct Malvina to "go climb a beanstalk." One half of Fun and Fancy Free is dedicated to a Jack and the Beanstalk retelling with Mickey, Donald, and Goofy cast in the role of Jack. "Badder" also a references to a non-Disney fairy tale. Towards the end of the song, Giselle verbally wonders if she can get rid of Malvina by droping a house on her. It could be, however, a reference to the fact that The Wizard of Oz was originally going to be the second installment in the Disney Animated Canon before the success of the MGM movie caused it to get scrapped. The night of the ball, Ruby and Rosaleen are dressed like Anastasia and Drizella from Cinderella. Giselle acting as the wicked stepmother takes scissors to Morgan's new dress for the ball, leaving it in tatters like Cinderella's. As Nancy sings "Love Power" to Morgan at Giselle's memory tree, it restores her dress in a sequence just like Cinderella getting her new one from the Fairy Godmother. The market scene also includes the line "Sugar dates, figs, and pistachios!" from Aladdin. During the reprise of the song "Fairytale Life," a broom moves by itself like in Fantasia, while utensils and electric appliances are alive like in Beauty and the Beast. | |

Decon-Recon Switch | |
| Disenchanted (2022) / int_e0113647 | comment |
Decon-Recon Switch: Much like the previous film, it deconstructs several fairy tale tropes before reconstructing them. The main one it deconstructs is Happily Ever After, with Pip explaining how in the more realistic world Giselle has to work to keep that happy ending, while she and her family face many realistic problems such as a growing distance between her and Morgan as well as Robert feeling depressed over how his work keeps him from his family. This is what leads Giselle to wish for a more fairy tale life, in the hopes that could fix their problems. The reconstruction comes in when it shows that despite the current problems in their lives, Giselle's family truly love each other and their experiences in Monrolasia help them come to terms with their respective problems as well as move forward, showing that while there will always be problems after a character's happy ending that doesn't mean they've lost it. | |

Exact Words | |
| Disenchanted (2022) / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: The wish was set to become permanent at "the last stroke of twelve." The scroll never said that had to be at midnight itself if the town clock failed to sound all its strokes, so Robert and Tyson are able to buy a few minutes by jamming their swords into the clock gears. Giselle is not Morgan's biological mother, a fact that Morgan herself reminded Giselle of just before the wish so of course, it would make the latter the Wicked Stepmother. Only a true son or daughter of Andalasia can use the wand however nowhere is it mentioned that it requires a blood relation so Morgan, Giselle's very Happily Adopted stepdaughter counts as far as Andalasian magic is concerned. | |

Dark Reprise: "Love Power" is a triumphant Eleven O'Clock Number that extols The Power of Love. "Love Power (Reprise)," however, is far more somber - the only thing that keeps it from being Giselle's Death Song is Morgan reversing the wish at the last second. The trailer also ends with an ominous snippet of "True Love's Kiss" from the first movie. | |

Innocently Insensitive: When first presenting the Magic Wand as a gift for Giselle's biological daughter, Edward and Nancy make it a point to mention that only a "true son or daughter of Andalasia" can wield its magic, right in front of Morgan - the Andalasian Giselle's stepdaughter who never got such a wand - which inadvertently worsens Morgan's feelings of being left out and further strains her relationship with Giselle because she feels like a "fake daughter of Andalasia." Edward's initial response upon seeing Giselle and Robert's "fixer upper" house in Monroeville is to ask if they're poor. | |

Honorary Princess | |
| Disenchanted (2022) / int_ff992d2c | comment |
Honorary Princess: Though it's never really called out directly, but in Giselle's wished up Fairy Tale world, Morgan is placed in the role of a classic Disney Princess, specifically of the Cinderella archetype even getting an "I Want" Song and her own take on the iconic magic dress transformation shot, interestingly once she breaks free of the spell by going to Andalasia, she still ends up playing the part (that's when the dress transformation happens), albeit now with the proactiveness and heroism of the more modern Princesses like Rapunzel, Anna, and Moana. | |
