Unless you have daughters of a certain age, chances are you haven’t seen Enchanted. I don’t have daughters of a certain age, but as there’s a part of me that remains forever twelve (same part that’s going to see The Muppets for the second time tomorrow) I have seen Enchanted, a few times, and this song is one of the highlights. Amy Adams plays a cartoon princess who is by magic transported to modern day real New York (I mean, I can’t remotely see why I might have taken an interest in this film) and who carries on doing her princess thing in the face of the cynicism of the New Yorkers around her. In this clip, she’s just tidied up Patrick Dempsey’s apartment using some adorable animal helpers - cockroaches, deformed pigeons and rats - and now she’s trying to help him find true love. The good people of Central Park can’t help but join in the song. I highly recommend this film, regardless of age, gender, and presence of daughters or sons.
