The actresses who provided the voices for three previous animated Disney princesses make appearances in the Enchanted: 

Jodi Benson (Ariel) plays Robert’s secretary Sam

Paige O’Hara (Belle) is the actress in the soap opera that Nathaniel watches in the hotel room.

Judy Kuhn (Pocahontas) is the woman with the kids who says “You’re too late” when Edward knocks on her door looking for Giselle.

Also, Julie Andrews, who starred as the title character in Mary Poppins, provides her voice here as the Narrator. 

In 1992, Beauty and the Beast made history at the 64th Academy Awards. This was the first time an Animated Feature Film was bestowed with the honor of being nominated for Best Picture.

The film lost Best Picture to Silence of the Lambs, but Howard Ashman and Alen Menken took home Oscars for Best Original Score and Best Original Song (“Beauty and the Beast”). Both “Be Our Guest” and “Belle” were also nominated for Best Original Song.

At the Oscars, announced by fellow cast member Angela Lansbury, Paige O’Hara, Richard White, and Jerry Orbach performed “Belle” and “Be Our Guest” on stage.

Now it may be because I’m just a sap, but I was tearing up when I was watching this.
