Please watch it. I couldn't stand this movie because it's about a girl who's depressed because she's not rich anymore. Her only friends are tiny animals despite the myriad people who have been servants in her household for their entire lives. Ever After has been one of my favorite movies since I was a little girl and it addresses this problem touchingly and with ease. WATCH IT. It's soooooo much better!
shareI agree with OP. The entire time I was watching this movie I kept thinking Ever After did it better. Despite the presence of Cate Blanchett I did not feel this movie was all that great or offered anything substantial to the legacy of the Cinderella story. Actually I kind of liked the Whitney Houston/ Brandy one better than this.
shareI'm pretty sure it's about a girl who stays in her beloved home to make sure her childhood home doesn't fall into complete ruin. The problem was this character wasn't nearly as isolated as the 1950 version. The 1950 version made it seem like there was nowhere else to go. This version could go riding & talk to family servants.
Ever After though is a fun take and I too enjoyed it more.
I enjoy ''Ever After'' (saw it plenty of times when it played theatrically) but ''The Slipper And The Rose'' and ''Cinderella'' (2015) are my favorite film versions of the story.
