This is the first time in her life that she's feeling sexual arousal.

Despite being a light-hearted parodying of the Disney Princess craz and the Disney Renaissance, Enchanted has a lot of adult content in it. More than anything that's canon to anything in the Disney animated universe. In fact, the high volume of stuff that slipped through the cracks probably comes from the fact that the script originally wasn't written for Disney, or for kids: it was first purchased by Touchstone Pictures, Disney's adult label. According to an article in Entertainment Weekly that ran just before the film's release, the original script was quite risqué and Disney had to cut lots of crap as it was. Considering the original script apparently contained a scene where Giselle gets mistaken for a stripper, there were probably lots of Censor Decoys for Disney had to deal with.

Examples

  • When Nathaniel first pops out of the manhole, the utility workers, exasperated as Edward popped out a little earlier that morning, ask him if he's looking for a beautiful princess as Edward was. Nathaniel's reply: "No. I'm looking for a prince, actually." The stunned expressions on the utility crew's faces are obvious.
    Artie: Right...
  • The Not What It Looks Like scene is pretty much one long string of crap put past the radar or possibly Parental Bonus, since while the kids won't know what's implied, their parents will. For one thing, Giselle starts out falling naked on top of Robert. (In a bath towel, but STILL!) Nancy sarcastically asks if Robert was having some "grown-up girl bonding time." And when Giselle asks if Nancy thought they kissed, Robert replies: "Yeah. Something like that."
    • Starts off when Robert, hearing Giselle humming in the shower, knocks on the bathroom door. Let it sink in that the doves are only in the process of wrapping the towel around Giselle when Robert walks in. So when hearing the knock, she is completely au naturale. So what does she say? A sweet and chipper "Come in!"
      Giselle: Oh, I hope you had nice dreams.
      Robert: I think I'm still in one.
  • The scene where Edward is looking for Giselle in the apartment building. Behind the one of the doors he knocks on, he finds a stereotypical biker...who grins mischievously at him. Edward politely excuses himself. The romantic-looking scenery of the room behind the biker didn't help things any.
  • Before that scene, Edward runs into a heavily pregnant woman (played by Judy Kuhn), who already has several children. Upon seeing him at the door, she states "You're too late." He says, "My apologies."
  • Then there's this little nugget of dialogue, from Morgan and Giselle's shopping montage:
    Morgan: And you don't wanna wear too much make-up, because then boys get the wrong idea...and you know they're only after one thing!
    Giselle: What's that?
    Morgan: ... I don't know. Nobody will tell me.
  • When Giselle runs over to the old homeless man, you can briefly see hookers on the street. This, along with a pic taken of Giselle smilingly interacting with them, implies there was something filmed, but cut, along the lines of the girls mistaking her for a very High-Class Call Girl with a fancy dress, or something.note 
  • The movie also gets literal crap past the radar. And not simple crap by itself: you know the Nobody Poops rule? It gets averted big time when Narissa announces she's going to come to the real world, with Pip literally crapping himself. Onscreen.
  • After Edward stabs the bus at Times Square, one of the angry passengers actually does shout "Get the fuck out of there"!
    • However, it could be interpreted as "Get that bus outta there!" as before him, someone shouted "Move that bus!".
  • When a little man accidentally finds his way under Giselle's dress, it is implied that his snarky "Geez lady, are you for real?!" remark is a frustrated comment because, since Giselle was wearing old-school bloomers, he didn't have the Male Gaze he wanted.
  • When Robert is helping Giselle get into his apartment (she was stuck at the door), watch how he helps her get in.
  • When Giselle attacks Dragon Narissa with Edward's sword while climbing the skyscraper, a gaping wound and blood on the side of the roof are fully visible.
  • "And that's the reason we need lips so much, for lips are the only things that touch!"
    • The animal friends also suggest pulling each other's tails and feeding each other seeds as being what true loves have to do. Sounds like they know more about sex than Giselle does.
  • A relatively mild one, but this has got to be the first time a Disney Princess says—let alone sings—the word "crud" (in "Happy Working Song": "Cleaning crud up in the kitchen".)
  • Giselle is turned on by the realization she's experiencing anger for the first time. She gets very close to Robert, who's only wearing a bathrobe, and we're treated to a nice close up of her feeling up his bare and exposed chest. Clearly it's meant to be the first time she's ever experienced sexual arousal.
