The evil Queen (Susan Sarandon) comes to the real world because Nathaniel fails to poison Giselle (Amy Adams). She finds her way to the ball where Robert (Patrick Dempsey), Giselle, Nancy (Idina Menzel) and Prince Edward (James Marsden) are dancing, just when Giselle and Robert are truly beginning to realize that they're in love. The Queen (in old croon form) takes advantage of Giselle's turmoil to give her the apple. Nathaniel (Timothy Spall) bursts in and accuses the queen of poisoning Giselle, and holds her at swordpoint. Only true love's kiss can save the dying princess, but Edward's kiss does not work. Edward insists that Robert kiss her, which saves her. The queen turns into a dragon and grabs Robert, taking him to the roof high above the city. Giselle distracts the dragon and the chipmunk uses its tiny weight to make the dragon plummet to its death. Giselle stays in the real world, marries Robert and opens a fashion store. Edward falls in love with Nancy, and they both jump back through to the land of fantasy. Nathaniel becomes a writer about defeating the evil queen within. The chipmunk becomes a writer too (in the land of fantasy). And they all live happily ever after.

Continuity mistake: When Giselle, Robert and Morgan are at Bella Notte's, on their table the pizza pan sits atop a chrome stand. In some shots the stand has a chrome cross bar, between its side legs at the base, and in other shots that cross bar is gone. (When setting up for the shots within this scene, the props guys simply turned the stand upside-down sometimes, which resulted in the cross bar either being on the table, or directly under the pizza pan thereby disappearing.)
Morgan Philip: And when you go out you don't want to wear too much makeup, 'cause otherwise the boys get the wrong idea and you know how they are...
[Giselle has a quizzical look on her face.]
Morgan Philip: They're only after one thing.
Giselle: What's that?
Morgan Philip: I don't know...nobody will tell me.
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.
Answer: If Elsa died from magic, her son, the prince, would know and turn against her. If she died by somebody else or a tragic accident, the Queen's hands would be clean.
