Disney is keen on bringing another installment of “Enchanted” to the bigscreen — perhaps as early as next year — after the 2007 pic, which starred Amy Adams, James Marsden, Patrick Dempsey and Susan Sarandon, earned more than $340 million worldwide. It earned $123 million domestically and helped Adams break out.

First film had languished in development for years as filmmakers like Sonnenfeld struggled with a way to tackle its comedic tone, musical numbers and blend of animation and live-action sequences.

Fletcher is a choreographer-turned-director who has had a string of hits with “Step Up,” “27 Dresses” and romantic comedy “The Proposal,” the latter of which earned $315 million worldwide for Disney last summer.

“Enchanted 2″ fits perfectly with the studio’s plans to make more movies that define the Disney brand. Project is Disney’s riff on its classic fairy-tale features, revolving around Giselle, a princess who is banished from her animated world by an evil queen and thrown onto the live-action streets of Manhattan to fend for herself.

Studio will likely try to bring back the first film’s stars.
