 While Disney animators have occasionally inserted a Disney character into background shots , for example , Donald Duck appears in a crowd in The Little Mermaid , they have avoided " mingling characters " from other Disney films for fear of weakening their individual mythologies . In Enchanted , characters from past Disney films are openly seen , such as the appearances of Thumper and Flower from Bambi in the 2D animation portion of the film . Disney references are also made through camera work , sets , costumes , music and dialogue . Obvious examples include the use of poisoned apples from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and True Love 's Kiss from Snow White and Sleeping Beauty . Dick Cook , the chairman of Walt Disney Studios , admitted that part of the goal of Enchanted was to create a new franchise ( through the character of Giselle ) and to revive the older ones .
