From there, the movie unravels further: Giselle, whose behavior most resembles that of a tweener on a sugar high, is completely oblivious to her situation in one sequence, then, seconds later, is instructing Robert on how to act as a cartoon (he can solve all his problems just by breaking into song, she tells him, completely self-aware of who she is and how she behaves). Then, a short time later, she breaks into song again in Central Park — music by Alan Menken, likely some Little Mermaid II leftovers — and it turns into an epic song-and-dance sequence, with Robert joining Giselle and a cast of thousands (more or less) for a frolic through the park. Then, five seconds later, he still doesn't believe she's a fairy-tale princess, like the whole thing never happened (if only). By the time Sarandon shows up and turns into a dragon, you'll wish they had all caught on fire in Neverland. If the movie can't bother, why should you?
