* [[Cameo]]: Several previous [[Disney Princess|Disney Princesses]] make appearances in the movie -- [http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0072533/ Jodi Benson], the physical model and voice actress for Ariel in ''The Little Mermaid''; Paige O'Hara, the voice actress for Belle in ''[[Beauty and The Beast (Disney)|Beauty and The Beast]]''; and Judy Kuhn, who performed the singing voice for ''[[Pocahontas]]''.▼
* Also, this isn’t the first time that Susan Sarandon has played a [[Rugrats in Paris|woman]] that manipulates a man into doing what she wants, either.
* [[Hey It's That Guy]]: Hey, what are [[X-Men (Film)|Cyclops]], [[Greys Anatomy|Dr. McDreamy]], [[The Rocky Horror Picture Show|Janet]], [[Rent|Maureen]] and [[Harry Potter (Film)|Peter Pettigrew]] doing in this movie?▼
* [[Bowdlerise]]:
** Forget [[Rent|Maureen]], what's [[Wicked (Theatre)|Elphaba]] doing here?!▼
** When this movie is aired on TV, a portion of Giselle and Morgan's conversation about "boys being after only one thing" is cut.
** The scene where Pip poops is omitted in the [[Disney Channel]] airings of the movie, but not in the [[ABC Family]] airings.
** The Disney Channel airing omits a scene in which Edward takes advantage of a guard's being distracted by a dog taking a leak in order to slip into Robert's apartment complex unnoticed. Instead, he is shown simply entering the apartment without havng to distract anyone first.

* [[Ink Suit Actor]]: A very [[Justified Trope|Justified]] example in the animated sequences, though the actual extent varies—Giselle's animated counterpart doesn't particularly resemble her, while Nathaniel's is such a spot-on caricature of Timothy Spall that viewers might figure out it's him before he even opens his mouth. Edward and Narissa are somewhere inbetween.

** A particularly delicious one is the name of the roving reporter who tells Edward how to find Giselle, since it references the voice actresses of three Disney princesses: Mary (Costa, ''[[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Sleeping Beauty]]'') Ilene (Wood, ''[[Cinderella (Disney film)|Cinderella]]''), Caselotti (Andrea, ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Snow White]]''). To know this, of course, you'd have to be a true fan... or have no life. You make the call.
** The scene on the rooftop at the end is reminiscent of how Frollo meets his end in ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'', or, more generally, of the standard [[Disney Villain Death]].

It's a reference to ''[[The Sound of Music]]'' and ''[[Beauty and

** The law firm where Robert works is called "Churchill, Harline, and Smith". These are the surnames of the songwriters from Disney's ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs]]''.
** At the climax of the story, a giant creature climbs up a high New York building, holding a [[Distressed Dude]] in its paws and [[Disney Death|drops to its death]]. [[King Kong|Sounds familiar?]]▼
** According to [[IMDb]], one of the elderly male dancers was a chimney sweep in ''[[Mary Poppins]]''. Two others were members of the Jets in the 1961 version of ''[[West Side Story]]''.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: In the first draft of the script (and mentioned earlier on this page), once Giselle enters the real world, she gets mistaken for a stripper. It was not intended for Disney and certainly not intended for kids.▼

** Enchanted was originally planned out as a film that was intended to be an R-rated film that was a parody of the popular Disney Princesses. The result of this change of plans was because the writers had troubles with the script. Seeing how this was planned during the '90s, it would have been something like [[Conkers Bad Fur Day (Video Game)|take that on a certain kids thing]]. It isn't known for certain if this was planned as [[Animation Age Ghetto|an animated film]] or a live-action film, but the result of either [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?|wouldn't have been pretty for certain people]].▼
** According to Kevin Lima, the director, ''Enchanted'' has literally ''thousands'' of references to past and future Disney works. In particular, every person or thing that has an explicit name gets that name from another Disney film. He described the effort he and screenwriter Bill Kelly made to tie literally everything in the film into other Disney films as "an obsession".
*** For instance, "Giselle" came from the name of Diane Darcy's 1976 Lancia Scorpion in ''[[Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo]]''.

* [[Throw It In]]: The novelization of the film provides some insight as to which lines were ad libbed. It follows pretty much the entire script of the movie and even some of the deleted scenes, so the comic material not included was most likely ad libbed. This includes a couple of the more risque lines, such as Nancy's comment about Robert and Giselle having some "grown-up girl bonding time" and Morgan's comment that "Boys are only after one thing", but nobody will tell her what it is. Morgan's "Kick what?" response to Nancy's line "Hey, girl, you ready to kick it?" isn't in the novel, nor is Edward's "I don't know what melodramatic means." And then there's this amusing exchange between Robert and Morgan when they're trying to shoo away the vermin from Giselle's "Happy Working Song":
{{quote|'''Morgan:''' ''(holding up two rats)'' What do I do with them?
'''Robert:''' Get them outside! Get rid of them! Get rid of them!
'''Morgan:''' Put them back?
'''Robert:''' Put them outside! Don't put them ''back!'' }}
