Cinderella or Ever After ?

Cinderella, no contest.

Even when I was a kid I never liked Ever After, I prefer my fairy tales told the traditional way.

Ever After. That story had real characters and a decent, believable story for them.

Cinderella is a live action cartoon. Meaning the characters are one dimensional and not the least bit believable. You can get away with that kind of storytelling in an actual cartoon, especially one that is 1/2 told in catchy songs, but not in live action.

I've only seen Cinderella the one time in theaters. I immediately came home, bought a digital copy of Ever After on Google Play and watched it 5 times over. I kept thinking this is how a live action telling of the story should be done.

I like both of them but i like Cinderella better. : )

I love both for different reasons. But Ever After is just above this one for me. I'll keep both though! But mostly all Cinderella adaptations I've liked.

Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are.

I loved both so much! I even felt like Cinderella (2015) took many things from Ever After, which was a much more down to earth version of it. Cinderella is super duper Disney, you get this feeling that everything can just get magically and quickly resolved no matter how bad. I loved the way they fall in love in Ever After, more slowly and maturely, but certainly and with no way out.
Has anyone noticed in Cinderella (2015) that she seems to be using the same blue shoes she was using when her mother got sick? I get the feeling they're the same and that her feet simply stopped growing when her mother passed away. That's why they're so small. It's the thing that brings her the most sadness what eventually becomes what brings her the most happiness :)

Personally Ever After was my ultimate favorite, I felt with this version they didn't show much of the love between the prince and Cinderella. It was all very fast :(

I prefer Ever After by a mile. This version was good too, but it didn't have the heart of Ever After. I love the message in this version to always be kind, but she was just so boring. Being kind is good and all, but she was a so passive. I love Danielle's personality so much more! She was kind and a good person, but she was also wicked smart and she had a backbone. She didn't care that she was talking to the prince, she said whatever was on her mind, without being disrespectful and I loved that. Even the "evil" stepmother had character development. In a couple moments, you actually sympathized with her, or at least understood her resentment a little bit. Her and Danielle's relationship was a lot more complex.

The romance between Henry and Danielle was way better done in my opinion as well. He fell in love with her because of her brains and her personality..not her looks. There were plenty of other woman in the land, far more pretty and far more interested in him than Danielle was, but it was her intelligence and the way she spoke her mind that attracted him to her. He had never met anyone else like her. By the end, she made him a better person. Their romance was more than just love at first sight and I think that's what this version lacked as well.

I'm probably just biased though to be honest, although I was really looking forward to seeing where they were going to go with this version. I was really hoping it would borrow from Ever After's character development, which it unfortunately didn't. Ever After is one of my top 3 favorite movies of all time. I could literally watch it anytime, anywhere. I love the way they re-imagined the original story. Making it the fictional backstory of how the fairy tale came to be, was an absolutely genius way to retell a story that has been done a hundred times. Plus the ending is probably my absolute favorite ending to a movie ever and the soundtrack rocked!!!!

Ever After, hands down.
