Disenchanted

Disenchanted concludes with a heartfelt resolution that emphasizes the importance of love, family, and staying true to oneself. Throughout the film, Giselle’s desire to fix her mistakes and bring happiness to her family leads her to make a wish to turn Monroeville into a fairytale land. However, this wish backfires, turning the town into a place filled with the same clichés and superficial magic that she initially sought to escape. When the clock strikes midnight, the transformation becomes permanent, threatening to erase Andalasia from existence because Giselle’s magic is tied to her true nature as a daughter of Andalasia. In her desperation, Giselle’s anger and selfishness threaten to cause irreversible damage, but Morgan’s love and her ability to wield magic ultimately save the day. Morgan, who is revealed to be the true daughter of Andalasia—destined to undo the spell—uses her newfound magic to reverse the curse, saving both Monroeville and Andalasia from destruction. This act highlights a key theme: that true strength and magic come from love, understanding, and accepting one’s identity.

After Morgan’s wish restores everything, Monrolasia turns back into Monroeville, and everyone remembers the ordeal as a kind of shared dream, with only Giselle and Morgan holding onto the real memories. The film ends on a hopeful note, affirming that genuine connections—whether biological or not—are what truly matter, and that embracing imperfections and facing reality head-on is the path to happiness. Giselle’s journey reminds us that nostalgia and fantasy can be comforting but shouldn’t replace facing our real-life challenges with love and resilience. Ultimately, it’s Morgan’s act of love and bravery that saves both worlds, reaffirming that the most powerful magic resides within the bonds we cherish.
