And there is a certain strength in her innocence and the depth of her beliefs. She still needs to be rescued, but does a fair amount of rescuing herself, which is a nice move on Disney's part.

Remember the scene in Shrek III where, after all the Disney heroines proceeded to either lay or sit down following Fiona's call for action, they jointly responded to a query asking for an explanation, "We are waiting to be rescued!" While as a male I'm certainly not the ideal person to make this observation, I think the fact that Giselle was the strongest person in this movie from both an emotional and bravery standpoint makes her a heck of a better heroine for little girls than the beleaguered Cinderella or Snow White. On the other hand, given the beguiling performance of Amy Adams, did anything else really matter in this film?

I wasn't blown away by it, of course. But it is what it is and Amy Adams holds it all together with a perfect "deer in the headlights" naivety that's endearing. You just can't fight it. She nails that part. Mon, 26 Nov 2007 16:29:54 -0500 http://www.indy.com/posts/2134#comment_6750 http://www.indy.com/posts/2134#comment_6750
