Nevertheless, the similarities between the two projects are undeniable.
In Barbieland and Andalasia, they are flat characters - superficially fulfilled but devoid of true happiness and choice.
These two scenes highlight the emotional themes the two movies share.
Enchanteds ending is much more of a conventional happy ending.
However,her happy ending still has her leaving one Prince Charming for another.
A more radical ending forEnchantedwould be if Giselle refused to bite the apple at all.
