A Great Twist on My Favorite Fairy Tale, 1 August 2007
10/10
Author: Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) from Canada

I have loved fairy tales, and even as an adult I still love them (I'm 21 years old). I was shocked and surprised by the negative reviews I would see on the web, I thought this film is a great twist of one of my favorite fairy tales - Cinderella; like what if Cinderella's evil stepmother gets a hold of The Wizard's staff and takes over Fairytale Land? The Wizard is the one who makes sure every fairy tale has a happy ending; and what if Cinderella (or Ella in the film) doesn't goes for The Prince (who is a pompous dumb ass), but Rick the kitchen boy?...and well technically in the original story, Ella was a nobleman's daughter until he married the evil Stepmother (Frieda in the film) and unfortunately died and Ella became "Cinderella."

I like a little twist now and then anyway. The animation and backgrounds are very pretty and the characters are appealing, and also the casting is very good too (even though Patrick Warburton can be a bit annoying as The Prince...sorry but it's true). The two scenes I love is the battle at the Seven Dwarfs' house, and the musical and colorful "If I Get What I Want" scene.
