I don't really understand why people think Enchanted is a parody. I always felt the film was a loving tribute towards classic Disney. It really doesn't make fun of Disney the way films like Shrek do, even though lots of people expected that to be the case back when the film was first announced. In fact, Enchanted was originally supposed to be an R-rated mockery, but the final product is anything but. Love at first sight isn't really mocked since Edward and Nancy end up together and Nancy dreams of a fairy tale ending (we find this out in a deleted scene though). Giselle and Robert share True Love's Kiss and their relationship isn't that far off from the 90s Disney films where the couple would get a chance to actually interact and gradually fall in love (or as gradual as possible for a Disney film). This is also one of two films in this list to use Menken's music and I find his songs and score far superior in Enchanted to anything he did in Tangled.
Now, The Princess and the Frog is not really a parody either, more of a deconstruction. But the thing that is sort of off-putting is that, to break the spell, Naveen needs to kiss someone who is literally a princess. That's weird when you take into account that the solution in DP stories has always been true love and that the motto of the franchise is "anyone can be a princess." So being a princess now just boils down to having a title? That's not how it used to go...
