Someone get Amy Adams on the Broadway stage, stat! She may not have the huge pipes that are supposed to be necessary for singers nowadays, but based on her sweet performance of three songs on this soundtrack, she gets a tune. Leaving aside High School Musical-style contemporary pop, Disney returns to its sources here, with a fairy tale set to a traditional-minded score by Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, etc.). The first three songs are loving, well-crafted homages to Disney classics, such as Cinderella and Snow White; tellingly, the lovely "Happy Working Song" (with lyrics by Stephen "Wicked" Schwartz) sounds like it could have been lifted from any number of Disney movies--and that's meant as a compliment. Carrie Underwood brings us back into the 21st century with the single "Ever Ever After", which in comparison feels a bit more anonymous. Menken also supplies several instrumental cues, often reprising themes alluded to in the songs, and James Marsden wraps things up with a hilariously straight-faced version of "That's Amore." --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Reviews - What do customers think about Enchanted?
Enchanting Feb 18, 2008
The soundtrack to the film Enchanted is enchanting. The first five songs are symbolic of classic Disney fairytales with a modern twist and a somewhat self-mocking approach. Amy Adams is as sweet a singer as she is an actress and radiates in all of her performances, as does James Marsden (Prince Edward). The other tracks make up the score of the film and are composed by multi-Oscar winners Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz - who worked on The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Hercules - and are beautiful creations that compliment the songs perfectly. The soundtrack has already rightly received three Oscar nominations and is an essential part of any soundtrack or Enchanted lover.
A MUST HAVE Feb 13, 2008
Enjoyed the movie so much have now purchased the CD and this beautiful book for the granddaughter. She was thrilled and the locket provided was an extra special surprise to her. The photos from the movie are beautiful and help you to relive the film.
I am enchanted with Enchanted! Feb 8, 2008
The soundtrack to Enchanted has new and different songs with the timeless and classic Menken style. I have always loved Alan Menken's music, and he continues a fantastic career with more classic, gorgeous Disney music. I adore this soundtrack! I highly recommend it to anyone who loved the movie. You will be just as satisfied listening to the score as you were watching the movie.
Enchanted CD Jan 20, 2008
If you loved the movie, the CD is worth buying. The music is good to great. However, the music with the movie was better.
Enchanted Soundtrack Jan 18, 2008
My three year old loved the movie Enchanted, so we got her the soundtrack for Christmas.
The first four tracks are fabulous and fun - straight from the movie, but then a very long stretch of background music from the whole movie follows and it isn't really that fun to listen to.
