WARNING: This thread may contain spoilers.
There are so many references and in-jokes to other Disney animated classics in the movie Enchanted, I thought it would be fun to make a list of all of them. As you watch the movie, keep your eyes and ears peeled and please post here if you find any that have not already been covered. I will update this thread as needed.
-The Italian Restaurant is called Bella Notte. (Reference to Lady and the Tramp)

The woman in the scene is Paige O'Hara, the voice of Belle. She plays a character named Angela (Ref to Angela Lansbury). The man in the scene's name is Jerry (Ref to Jerry Orbach). They mention someone named Ogden (Ref to David Ogden Stiers). The background music is the song "Beauty and the Beast."
I am sure there are more, if you catch any please let me know.
Check out Wikipedia. It's got an entire list of the Disney references. I'm pretty sure you got most of them, though.
Happy Holidays! :santamm:

I can't wait to see this movie! One thing though, i thought the happy working song was a tribute to "Whistle While You Work"? I haven't seen the movie, so i don't know for sure, but i'm pretty sure i read that somewhere....
I saw the movie - it was adorable, and I agree Doug - the working song should have been listed as a reference to the Snow White scene.
Everyone MUST go see this movie!!
Sorry Doug - my mistake. I was thinking how the animals help Cinderella as well, and forgot about Snow White.
