Once Giselle arrives in New York, the film changes from animation to live action, and Giselle, still in her wedding gown, meets divorce lawyer Robert (Patrick Dempsey) whose daughter, Morgan (Rachel Covey), loves everything involved in fairy tales. At Morgan's insistence, Robert invites Giselle to move in with them. Although Robert is cynical about love and marriage, Giselle is Morgan's dream come true as fantasies now fill her world, and Disney movies come to life. While living amidst this optimistic fantasy, will skeptical Robert find his views of life changing? Academy Award nominations were received for three original songs.

 Tarzan 1999 G, 88 min.
Genre: Animation / Family / Adventure / Comedy / Drama
Director: Kevin Lima, Chris Buck
Cast: Tony Goldwyn, Minnie Driver, Glenn Close, Rosie O'Donnell, Wayne Knight, Nigel Hawthorne, Lance Henriksen, Brian Blessed, Alex D. Linz, Taylor Dempsey, Jason Marsden, Debi Derryberry, Rodger Bumpass, Jim Cummings, Jack Angel
This animated Disney film begins with violent scenes that are inappropriate for very young children. But for those old enough to handle vicious killings, this story of Tarzan's (voice of Alex D. Linz as a youth and voice of Tony Goldwyn as an adult) childhood among the gorillas should entertain; however, parents should be aware that violence continues with a hanging death and an abundance of gunfire. An Oscar was received for the song "You'll Be in My Heart."
