| Giselle | Enchanted | Giselle, portrayed by Amy Adams, is a princess-to-be. Although technically not a princess, as she never marries Prince Edward, the character was created in the image of the archetypal Disney Princess. In a respectful nod to the Disney classics, many of Giselle's character traits are a combination of those of past Disney princesses. Many references, from the subtle to the prominent, are made throughout the film to past and future Disney films;[1] and a number of actresses who have played Disney characters in the past make cameo appearances in the film, including Paige O'Hara (Belle, Beauty and the Beast), Jodi Benson (Ariel, The Little Mermaid), and Judy Kuhn (Pocahontas, Pocahontas). Julie Andrews, who has starred in a number of Disney films, perhaps most famously as the title character in Mary Poppins and as Queen Clarisse Renaldi in The Princess Diaries and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement.
While Giselle never officially becomes a princess, Nancy, Robert's former fiancée, does.
