We first met Giselle and her true love Robert in 2007’s Enchanted, and now they’re coming back in Disney’s sequel Disenchanted with a new fairy tale. Here’s a look back at who they were, and how they’ve changed.

Disney Fans/YouTube Giselle in Enchanted Upbeat, musical Giselle (Amy Adams) drifted away from the magical world of Andalasia, where she was set to marry Prince Edward, to the streets of New York City. There she fell in love with Robert and his daughter Morgan, living happily ever after?
