'''''Disenchantment''''' is the creation of ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' and ''[[Futurama]]'' creator [[Matt Groening]] and Josh Weinstein, and was released on [[Netflix]] on August 17th, 2018. It is a fantasy fiction adventure cartoon set in a mythical Middle Ages time period and features a variety of well-known creatures of folk lore including elves, ogres, giants and mermaids, as well as it's own novel species such as Dankmirians and Maruvians, and of course, humans. It follows the twin tales of disenchantment of the alcoholic [[protagonist]] Princess Tiabeannie of Dreamland ("Bean" for short) - who rebels against her father King Zog and step-mother Queen Oona in search of happiness - and her newfound elf buddy Elfo who has exiled himself from Elfwood in search of misery. She finds herself cursed by a personal demon (daemon) Luci for reasons unknown to her (but known to the audience). As the trio embark on a quest to find the Elixir of Life, Bean and Elfo's paths are entwined in the discovery of their true identities.
As of August 2022, [[Netflix]] has announced plans for a third season.

* [[Brick Joke]]: In season 3, Bean is killed many times in her dreams in her attempts to slay her [[Evil Twin]], in one attempt being impaled through the head on the bladed throne, the same way she (accidentally) killed Guysbert. Not truly karma, seeing as she simply wakes up as a result, but it is pretty funny to see how ''she'' likes it.
* [[Brother-Sister Incest]]: the rulers of Bentwood, King Lorenzo and Queen Bunny, are both spouses and siblings, and make no attempt to deny it; they see nothing wrong with this. This is far from the only reason Bentwood's nobility is [[Royally Screwed-Up]].
* [[By Wall That Is Holey]]: a [[homage|nod]] is given to this classic piece of cinema when an ogre falls on Elfo, only for his tiny body to fit exactly through the hole in the ogre's chest.
