“Godmothered,” a Disney+ original film available on Friday, follows what could be called the “Elf” formula in which a naive protagonist from a magical place travels to the real world and warms the heart of a cynic with their innocent charms.

Disney successfully used this template with 2007’s “Enchanted,” in which an animated Disney princess (Amy Adams) was pulled into a live-action modern-day New York. The studio revisited this model again last year with “Noelle,” which focused on Santa’s daughter (Anna Kendrick) traveling to Phoenix, Ariz., when her brother (Bill Hader) gets cold feet about taking over the family business.
