You probably remember that tiny chipmunk who steals scenes with nothing more than a twitch or a squeak. He helps Giselle, cracks people up, and even tries to mime danger to Prince Edward—so, really, he matters way more than his size suggests.
Pip is the cheeky, brave sidekick from Enchanted who keeps the story moving and adds the film’s funniest moments.
This post digs into Pip’s role, personality, and how his story grows in both Enchanted and Disenchanted. Expect quick facts, memorable moments, and a look at why Pip still charms fans—whether you love his squeaks or his bold little acts.
Who Is Pip: The Squirrel from Enchanted
Pip is a small, brave animal who helps the film’s heroine and jumps headfirst into a big city adventure. He moves between a fairy-tale kingdom and modern New York, and somehow plays both comic and heroic roles.
Character Origins and Species
Pip pops up in the enchanted land of Andalasia as a woodland creature and close friend of Giselle. In the first film, you find out he’s a chipmunk-like animal (though people sometimes just call him a squirrel). He lives near Giselle’s hollow tree house and tags along in her daily life of chores and song.
When the plot yanks Giselle to New York City, Pip follows right after her. In Andalasia, he talks and acts like a classic fairy-tale sidekick. Once in New York, his voice pretty much vanishes and he has to rely on wild gestures, which leads to a bunch of funny misunderstandings. Pip’s small size and quick moves let him hide, escape traps, and sneak around when things get dicey.
Pip’s Personality and Traits
You notice Pip’s fearless loyalty right away. He rushes to warn Prince Edward after Narissa attacks and keeps trying to protect Giselle, even when people totally misunderstand him.
He’s quick-thinking—he mimics, squeaks, and uses his body to signal danger. Pip mixes comic nerves with courage. He even farts in a tense moment, lightening the mood, but he’ll squeeze into tight spots to free his friends.
In Disenchanted, you see a different side: he narrates part of the story and, for a while, gets corrupted by magic. It’s proof that even the smallest characters can change under pressure. His energy makes him a standout, whether he’s in Andalasia or New York.
Key Relationships in Andalasia and New York City
Pip’s strongest bond is with Giselle. You watch him act like a true friend, following her across worlds and sticking by her when she faces danger. That loyalty drives most of what he does, from warning others to trying to free captured friends.
He also tries to help Prince Edward by warning him about threats to Giselle, though Edward usually misreads Pip’s signals. Pip clashes with Nathaniel and Queen Narissa because they threaten Giselle; his attempts to stop their plans lead to some wild capture and escape scenes.
In New York, Pip’s interactions with Robert and other humans stay mostly silent, but his gestures build both tension and humor. These relationships show how Pip bounces between fairy-tale loyalty and the real world’s dangers.

Pip’s Story Across Enchanted and Disenchanted
Pip starts as a small, brave chipmunk who helps Giselle in her animated world and then gets pulled into New York with her. He speaks out, tries to warn Prince Edward, and later narrates events in the sequel while facing a dark turn when Giselle’s wish corrupts her world.
Major Moments in Enchanted (2007)
You first meet Pip at Giselle’s hollow tree home in Andalasia. He nearly saves her from a troll and then watches Queen Narissa push Giselle into a well.
Pip runs to alert Prince Edward, proving his loyalty and quick thinking. Once they reach New York, Pip can barely speak and must mime warnings to Prince Edward.
Nathaniel captures him twice. Pip escapes the first time and manages to reach Giselle to warn her. He ends up rolling to the top of the Woolworth Building to help stop Narissa.
After the crisis, Pip returns to Andalasia and becomes famous for his wild New York adventure.
Pip’s Adventure in New York City
You see Pip struggle to communicate in a world with almost no magic. In New York, his animated speech turns into squeaks and pantomime.
This leads to funny misunderstandings—especially when Prince Edward just can’t figure out what Pip’s trying to say. Pip gets trapped in a plastic ball by Nathaniel and panics so much at one point that he soils himself, which adds a weird bit of comic relief.
He escapes, reaches Giselle, and plays a small but crucial role in defeating Narissa. Pip’s New York scenes tie into songs like “That’s How You Know” and “So Close,” showing how fairy-tale music crashes up against the city’s chaos.
Role in Disenchanted and Transformation
You see Pip as an older character who narrates the sequel to his kids, Kip and Skip. He tells them the bedtime story that opens Disenchanted on Disney+.
Pip comes back to the real world when Giselle’s wish for a perfect fairytale life messes up Monroeville. As the Wand of Wishes and Giselle’s wish twist reality, Pip gets corrupted alongside her.
He briefly acts as her right-hand villain, helping steal the wand from Malvina Monroe. The corruption fades once Giselle’s memories return, and Pip goes back to being a chipmunk before Andalasian magic disappears at midnight.
His fall and recovery match Giselle’s own journey and show how wishes can totally change a character.
Iconic Scenes and Quotes
You probably remember Pip for three moments that really stand out. First, he dashes frantically to warn Prince Edward after the well scene—honestly, that’s one of the best parts of Enchanted.
Then there’s the whole bit where he gets trapped in a plastic ball, followed by the wild chase through the Woolworth Building. That physical comedy? It’s hard to forget.
Fans love his short, clever lines. They’ve put together clips and compilations of his best moments on sites like Yarn and YouTube.
His little vocal bits pop up right alongside songs like “True Love’s Kiss,” “Happy Working Song,” and “Ever Ever After.” Those songs really help show his emotional ups and downs.
In Disenchanted, Pip narrates to Kip and Skip, which gives him this fun new role as the storyteller. It connects him more to the family and to Monroeville’s changing story.
