Sure, Disenchanted isn't as good as Enchanted (though, that's partly because it's a direct-to-streaming movie with a much lower budget), but I will always appreciate it for never making Giselle and Robert's relationship part of the conflict. They already fought for their happy ending together in the first movie and were allowed to keep it, that's so refreshing to see.

(It's more the things and situations around them that changed, but their relationship never did. Aka showing how a true happy ending is the people around you, now THAT is poetry.)

And especially as someone who recently got a stepmother I have a newfound appreciation for Giselle and Morgan's relationship. Sure, their conflicts are a bit stereotypical at times and a different situation from mine, because my stepmother didn't raise me. But it does help me a little to put things into perspective.

I'm not entirely sure where I was going with this post, but it's just a nice reminder (modern) sequels aren't inherently bad.

Having just rewatched it, one of my favorite subtle bits in Disenchanted is when Giselle gets the idea to make the cupcakes to campaign for Morgan to win princess so she'll be popular and have friends because, in the background, the "That's How You Know" motif from the first movie plays and the clear implication is that her thought process is, "How can I make sure that Morgan knows that I really really love her? Oh, duh, grand gesture!" She's keeping the same energy for all her close relationships, romantic or not, which I love. And it really shows how differently their trains of thought are running pre-wish because while Morgan is angsting over whether she counts as Giselle's real daughter at all, Giselle's personal score is literally playing the platonic version of first movie's catchiest love song.
