If you’re a big fan of Micheala Conlin, keep your schedule open Wednesday, November 12th 2007. That’s currently the scheduled release date of a new Disney movie Enchanted in which Micheala will play the character May.
As odd as it may sound for Micheala to be playing in a Disney movie, this doesn’t sound like your typical Disney fare. The story is based on a princess who is exiled from her animated, fairy-tale land to the real world of Manhattan. Of course you know there’s got to be some romantic something in there, so expect to have a little love-related conflict in the mix. Okay, so maybe it souunds a little cheesy, but Disney has a good reputation, so I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt. Besides, it’s staring Susan Sarandon, James Marsden, Patrick Dempsey, and Amy Adams. And of course, our lovely Micheala.
The film will start out animated, everything I’ve read seems to imply that it will only be for the first 10 to 20 minutes of the film, so if you’re not a cartoon person, don’t despair. The animation will be a tribute to the old-style animation, so don’t go expecting any of the CG stuff we’ve all become accustomed to. A modern-day romance with a little bit of fairy-tale magic in it, the movie sounds like a cute family film.
All the plot outlines I’ve read are pretty brief, and pretty much all the same, and none of them actually mention what we can expect of the character May, but regardless, I’m looking forward to seeing Micheala on the big screen.
Also interesting, this film has been in the works since 1997. There have been three previous attempts to get this movie made, so hopefully the fourth time will be the charm. (I always thought it was supposed to be the third, but then what do I know?)
