As we reported just last week, Walt Disney Pictures is moving ahead with its proposed sequel to the hit film ENCHANTED, currently titled DISENCHANTED. While no further details have been revealed, director Anne Fletcher is currently attached to direct from a script initially written by Jessie Nelson. Barry Josephson and Barry Sonnenfeld are expected to once again produce. It remains unclear if original stars Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey or Idina Menzel will return for the sequel.

The original film, produced for $85 million, earned over $340 million worldwide, including $127.8 million from NORTH AMERICA and $212.7 million from overseas. Kevin Lima directed the original movie from a script by Bill Kelly. Starring Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden, Timothy Spall, Idina Menzel, Rachel Covey and Susan Sarandon, the plot focused on Giselle, an archetypal Disney Princess, who is forced from her traditional animated world of Andalasia into the live-action world of New York City.

There is still so much to know about the movie, and lots of time to stew about it, so we thought we'd get our official wishlist out to Disney early! Read on to find out what we can't live without when it comes to DISENCHANTED!

1. A song for Idina. We placed this first on our wishlist because it is the most important. True, we're not even sure if her character will be in this film, but if she is, we MUST get a song for Nancy!

2. More singing animals. It's a Disney tradition and we want more of it. Give us more cooing pidgeons and humming cockroaches, please!

3. The perfection that is Julie Andrews. Really though...what would Enchanted be without the soothing voice of Dame Julie to kick it all off? She is a must for Part 2!

4. More tunes by Stephen Schwatz & Alan Menken. These two stage and screen greats teams up again (after Pocahontas and The Hunchback of Notre Dame) for the first film, and we all know how that turned out...

5. Another Disney Princess reunion. We couldn't get enough of Jodi Benson, Judy Kuhn and Paige O'Hara in the first movie, but we think we can do even better. We're looking at you, Lea Salonga and Anika Noni Rose!
