Enchanted

The idea of Princesses singing is prevalent throughout Disney films. It symbolises the purity of the Princess and reflects their beauty as singing is considered beautiful. Interestingly, Enchanted (2007) emulates previous Disney films manifested through its storyline and techniques. Such as singing which is most commonly associated with Snow White. Cleverly Disney have created catchy songs which the primary audience (girls 3-11) can associate with specific films and if the song is successful the target audience will also enjoy the interaction of the film more.

As everybody joins in it creates the idea that the Princess has a high status and that she is friendly as she is part of a singing community. Typically, the song discusses love by portraying the notion of a 'perfect' ending. She also appears to lead the crowds of people to sing; this can be perceived as Giselle being strong as she has leadership skills and is in control. In addition the way in which Giselle dances represents her as dominant as there is freedom in the society she lives in.

A bride in a traditional white wedding dress highlights an outdated viewpoint about women being innocent. Therefore women should be virginal and innocent; which corresponds to idea of the virgin/whore dichotomy women are either innocent or corrupt beings.

In conclusion, whilst Giselle is singing she appears to be in full control and the males in the scene seem subordinate as she leads them to sing.
