Wow..I haven't posted since September, but I'm back-ish now the Fall semester is over.
Anyhow...I LOVE THIS MOVIE!
I have to agree with everyone that it is truly one of the greatest feel-good, happy ending Disney feature and tribute to the Disney fairy tales to date! I just saw it for the second time today with my sister and Escapay and it was awesome again the second time! I usually don't remember movies
really well scene by scene, but this movie was so memorable. I'm still wiggin' out at how awesome it was. Everyone except two people that I know really loved this movie and have seen it at least once or twice and want to see it again! (The two who didn't like it at all were expecting a Disney version of Shrek...
...)
I can't wait for this DVD and the soundtrack is awesome! I only wish that more of James Marsden's verses in "True Love's Kiss" appeared on the soundtrack. The score is beautiful and I listen to it while I study, hehe.

*SPOLIER WARNING*
Yeah, I felt the style of "So Close" was a surprising choice for the movie, but I figured it to be more of a story component. At this point in the movie, Giselle was the only one in a modern gown while everyone else was in the fancy, old fashioned costumes. With her makeover and the less Disneyesque musical song, the story is moving to show how she is evolving and integrating herself into the modern, realistic world.
