PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Actor Patrick Dempsey knows the world can be a dark place, and many of the streamers these days are dark, too. But an antidote will be released next week on Disney+. “Disenchanted” is being released on Nov. 18 — 15 years after the original “Enchanted.” Both star Amy Adams as cheery, singsong Giselle, who falls in love with a lawyer played by Dempsey. He said that during his recent travels he was disappointed by the heavy, dark-themed entertainment options. He said sometimes people “just want to escape the realities of the world.”
