Disney's 'Enchanted' with Carrie Underwood
The American princess circle is complete.
Disney has made another song available from "Enchanted," this one the film's final number, "Ever Ever After," sung by "American Idol"-turned-country star Carrie Underwood.
Judging by her frothy pastel look at last week's Country Music Awards, Underwood is already comfortable looking the part of a Disney princess (cutesy insects worth a reported $6M affixed to hip? Check).
Coupled with the two songs shown here last week, it's clear Disney is making a huge push to showcase the tunes from its latest animated/live-action musical hybrid, which is due in theaters Nov. 21. One day earlier on Nov. 20, the 'Enchanted' soundtrack will be released.
Underwood's song isn't quite this writer's cup of Mad Hatter tea -- and violates Extended Play's Movie Song Rule No. 4 (quotes the name of the movie in the lyrics) -- but it is a fitting closer to the film, as it wraps the charming fairy tale up with a contemporary spin.
But even after repeated listens, it still sounds a bit too much like something one would hear at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, at least for my tastes.
Yet Disney and Underwood fans will surely enjoy the video, which gives Underwood an animated make-over before being stalked in New York City, and contains more than one reference to the studio's classic animated films.
Give it a whirl -- and watch "Happy Working Song" and "That's How You Know," if you haven't - and then vote for your favorite down below.
