Trivia: Kevin Lima, the director of Enchanted, is also the squeaky voice of Pip in NYC. Paige O'Hara, who is the voice of Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and Danny Mastrogiorgio, who is the voice of Ram #2 in Brother Bear, appear as the couple on TV in the soap opera that Edward and Nathaniel watch on "the magic mirror." Also note that as soon as Edward clicks the remote to the soap's channel we hear a few bars of Beauty and the Beast's theme music. Then later while Edward searches for Giselle in the apartment building, Judy Kuhn, who is the singing voice of Pocahontas, appears as the pregnant mom with 3 kids who opens the door and tells the prince, "You're too late!"
Trivia: Jodi Benson, who voiced/sang the part of Ariel in The Little Mermaid, appears as Robert's secretary, Sam. When Giselle looks into the fish tank (while Sam & Robert are talking), the song "Part of Your World" from Little Mermaid is heard playing.
Trivia: The scene where Giselle makes a scarecrow of her "dream prince" is based on a deleted scene from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs where Snow White does the same.
Trivia: More billboard trivia. There is a billboard for the Broadway musical Hairspray. James Marsden was in the movie version of Hairspray. There is also a billboard for the musical Wicked which stars Idina Menzel, who plays Nancy.
Trivia: James Marsden was in Superman Returns. You can see the billboard of the movie behind him when he's on top of the bus.
Trivia: While Prince Edward and Nathaniel are in the hotel room, the scene playing on the TV right as Nathaniel leaves the room, the one with a dummy who says, "I don't like sad endings," is from Disney's Fun and Fancy Free.
Trivia: One of the elderly men dancers in "That's How You Know" appeared as a chimney sweep in Mary Poppins.
Trivia: The exterior scenes at Robert's residence were shot at the Paterno, an elegant apartment building known for its long curved facade and its elaborate arched 'porte-cochère' at the front entrance. The Paterno is located across from the Colosseum (now owned by Columbia U.), another curved Riverside apartment building (albeit smaller), both down the street from Barnard College and Columbia U.
Trivia: Throughout the movie, music from classic Disney movies can be heard; such as 'Bella Notte' from Lady and the Tramp.
Trivia: Disney Princess sightings: 1) When Giselle comes back to see Morgan before the ball, Morgan runs up and gives her a hug. As she is running we see a small statue of Belle (from Beauty and the Beast) on the mantle behind her. 2) When Giselle is telling the story of Little Red Riding Hood to Morgan if you look in the back corner of the room there is a Cinderella book on a shelf. 3) Before the shopping spree when Morgan says "I have something better than a Fairy Godmother" we see a large stuffed Belle doll in the corner behind her.
Trivia: When a man is thrown back by the flames during Narissa's transformation towards the end of the movie, you can hear the Wilhelm scream.
Trivia: The name of Robert's law firm is Harline, Churchill and Smith. This is a reference to Leigh Harline, Frank Churchill and Paul J. Smith who composed the score for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Trivia: On the DVD, there's a deleted scene involving Nancy talking to a co-worker about how she no longer wants to wait for her Prince Charming and how that dream is long gone. While this scene doesn't appear in the movie, it does appear in the Nintendo game of the same name.
Trivia: Writer Bill Kelly's first draft of the script was written in the mid-90's as a cynical, R-rated raunchy comedy. There were many adult scenes, such as Giselle accidentally becoming a stripper and meeting Robert at a boozy bachelor party. Kelly and director Kevin Lima reworked the script into a more family-friendly homage/parody to classic Disney films when it finally went into production after being stuck for nearly a decade of development hell.
Chosen answer: Originally she was scripted to have a few scenes with Nancy, Robert's girlfriend, in the design studio. The Producers deleted some of those scenes. You can see that in the DVD under Deleted scenes, where she has a slightly bigger part and actually has a small conversation with Nancy about Robert's text message apology.
