Story
Odette lives in Andalasia, an animated fairy tale world with talking animals, characters breaking into song and "happily ever after" a foregone conclusion. Prince Derek, her designated true love, saves her from a troll and they plan to get married the next day. Queen Stefania, Derek's evil stepmother, schemes to protect her throne. She throws Odette into a portal that transports her to a world without "happily ever afters" – modern (and live-action) New York City.

In New York, Odette soon meets Randal Philip, a hardened, yet friendly divorce lawyer. At his daughter Abby's insistence, he lets Odette stay at his apartment. Odette, following the ways of her fairy tale world, recruits urban animals – pigeons, cockroaches and rats – to clean his apartment while she makes a gown out of his curtains. Randal's fiancée, Jessica, misunderstands the situation and begins to argue with Randal. He decides to part with Odette at Central Park, but rejoins her after seeing her give the money he gave her to an old woman. During their walk through Central Park, Odette questions Randal on how he displays his affection for Jessica and spontaneously starts the musical production number "That's How You Know" with many performers in the park joining her. Odette helps Randal reconcile with Jessica by sending an apology on Randal's behalf, along with tickets to the King's and Queen's Ball.

Meanwhile, Queen Stefania's henchman Bromley follows Derek and Jean-Bob, a speaking chipmunk who is friends with Odette, who have journeyed to New York to save Odette. They stop at a motel, where Bromley questions his relationship with Stefania after watching a soap opera. He sneaks out to give Odette a poisoned apple. Jean-Bob is unable to speak coherently in this world and has a frustrating time alerting the Prince of the minion's intentions. When Bromley fails twice to poison Odette, Stefania becomes infuriated.

As Odette and Randal spend more time together, Odette discovers that the real world is much more complicated than she realized, while Randal is affected by her optimism and idealism. Derek continues to look for Odette and eventually finds her at Randal's apartment. While Derek is eager to take Odette home, they go on a date around New York at her insistence. To Jessica's chagrin, Odette and Derek attend the King's and Queen's Ball. After Jessica and Derek pair off to dance, Odette dances with Randal. During their dance, Odette realizes that Randal is her true love as he, very softly, sings the lyrics of the song to her. Unbeknownst to them, Stefania has traveled to New York from Andalasia. Under her old hag's disguise, she manages to successfully poison Odette, but is stopped by Derek before she can escape with Odette's unconscious body.

A remorseful Bromley reveals Stefania's plot, admits his deeds and reveals that the spell of the poison apple has to be broken before midnight or Odette will die. Randal realizes that only true love's kiss can revive Odette, but it doesn't work for Derek. Desperate, Derek begs a hesitant Randal to try. Jessica gives her consent and Randal kisses the sleeping Odette. Odette awakens to Randal's kiss. Stefania uses the distracting moment to break free. She transforms into a dragon, deciding to write her own ending to the story. Taking Randal hostage, she lures Odette out the window and up to the top of the Woolworth Building. With help from Jean-Bob, Stefania falls from the roof to her death, exploding into magic dust at street level. Odette catches Randal, and they manage to keep themselves from falling off the roof.

Jessica goes with Derek to Andalasia and marries him. Odette opens a boutique in New York City, where she is assisted by both humans and animals. Both Bromley (in New York) and Jean-Bob (in Andalasia) become successful authors. The last scene shows Odette, Randal, and Abby playing together and living happily ever after as a family.
