For Giselle , the hand drawn animated character had to be " a cross between Amy Adams and a classic Disney princess . And not a caricature . " Seeing Giselle as " a forest girl , an innocent nymph with flowers in her hair " and " a bit of a hippie " , the animators wanted her to be " flowing , with her hair and clothes . Delicate . " For Prince Edward , Baxter 's team " worked the hardest on him to make him look like the actor " because princes " in these kinds of movies are usually so bland . " Many prototypes were made for Narissa as Baxter 's team wanted her face to " look like Susan Sarandon . And the costumes had to align closely to the live @-@ action design . "
