Giselle (Enchanted)

Common card · No. 316846

Giselle is a fictional character from Disney's romantic comedy fantasy film Enchanted (2007) and its sequel, Disenchanted (2022). She is both portrayed and voiced by actress Amy Adams. The character first appears in Enchanted as a cheerful maiden from the animated kingdom of Andalasia, whose plans to marry its prince are threatened when an evil queen banishes her to New York City. While trapped there, she meets and charms a cynical divorce lawyer, which complicates her feelings for the Andalasian prince to whom she is already engaged. Created by screenwriter Bill Kelly and director Kevin Lima, Giselle is both a parody of and homage to classic Disney princess characters, specifically borrowing inspiration from Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, and Ariel. Adams was selected out of approximately 300 actresses who auditioned for the role. Although Lima had always wanted to cast an unknown performer as Giselle, Disney executives were initially hesitant to hire Adams due to her relative obscurity...
