• Composers Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz, who first collaborated on Disney's Pocahontas with "Colors Of The Wind," reunited for Enchanted, a combination spoof/send-up of Disney classics. The duo called this love-at-first-sight song, performed by Adams' Princess Giselle and Marsden's Prince Edward, "the pivotal assignment... because there were so many preconceptions with that number. We wanted to put it back in the era of Snow White and Cinderella, and write something that was reflective of that."
• Even with Disney veteran Menken on board, the team had trouble capturing the feel of the company's pioneering classics. He explained to Entertainment Weekly: "Giselle is very much a Walt-era Disney heroine, more of a Cinderella than a Belle. We needed a 'classic Walt' sound, but no one could agree on what that was because we weren't around for it! Everyone had an opinion. Our director, Kevin Lima - I love this guy and he's a great director, but he could not make up his mind on the music. We had to fly him to my studio in New York and sit him down and not let him leave until he had agreed on a piece of music because otherwise it was just going to go on forever."
