Why am I just now realizing that Lucinda literally told Ella to get rid of the curse herself? And Ella technically obeyed.

[@SophiaPhannn]

WAIT…… YOU’RE SO RIGHT 😱😱😱🤯🤯🤯

[@livywithane]

She really did😂 i think the fairy actually took the spell away but Ella was so used to doing it by force that she broke her own spell without realizing it… idk if that made any sense but oh well😂

Fun fact: Lucy Punch, aka Hattie, also played the stepsister in 2000's Cinderella, Into the Woods, and the Cinderella episode of Fairy Tales. Even better, it's actually not typecasting. When she was a little girl, when everyone else wanted a princess party, she asked for an ugly stepsister party. This is literally a dream come true for her.

[@a.g.demada5263]

Wow, that's incredible. It's funny because the french voice actress of Barbie in " Toy Story 3 " said in an interview that as a child she dreamt to play Barbie. She had the Barbie doll in question in her hand during the interview and said it's like she told her in the ear

[@flora11y]

I looove that she got to live her dream in such great movies!

[@elentari15]

She also played the shepherdess in the 10th kingdom (I forgot her name), that's where I remembered her from. :)

I love that Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine, costars in "The Idea of You", have not only played royals, but have also covered Queen's "Somebody to Love" in their respective projects.

[@ajmalaika1287]

[@apizzathatgiantforthesimpl5191]

I love this movie so much! Apparently the book is really funny too, but much darker. Ella is in danger constantly from her gift. She even says something like "if you ordered me to cut my own head off I would have to do it."

[@SophiaPhannn]

It is! It’s definitely more serious than the movie 😂

[@roanmangan7417]

It could be “Never obey a demand with malicious intent”? That… probably would’ve ended it lol

This movie is very funny and very meta! This is like an unofficial sequel to The Princess Bride.

It is wild that Cary Elwes played Sir Edgar and started as Dr. Gordon in Saw in the same year. The range.

[@swigglyforce5215]

Its a shame that this movie failed because I think its pretty good. Though maybe its just my nostalgia 😭

[@SophiaPhannn]

Heavy on the nostalgia! But I’d like to think that I’d still like it even if I watched it for the first time as an adult because it’s so silly (and has Anne Hathaway hehe)

[@EChacon]

If I had a nickel every time Cary Elwes appeared in a Fantasy fairytale comedy, I have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s crazy it happened twice already (e.g. Princess Bride and Ella Enchanted). Also it’s so surreal that this movie just came out 20 years ago and it’s still one of my favorite fantasy comedy films thanks to the performances of Anne Hathaway, Hugh Dancy, Cary Elwes, Minnie Driver, Aidan McArdle, Vivica A. Fox, and Eric Idle.

[@mythicalunicorn4530]

God this is literally my favorite movie of all time. It’s so unserious and has insane nostalgia for me. I remember I read the book RELIGIOUSLY as a kid (and I still reread it today lol). In the book Ella and Char have so much chemistry and they know each other for years. My favorite scene is when they slide down the stair rails together and he catches her at the bottom and spins her until he gets dizzy 😭. And they fall in love through writing letters to each other even when she was away at finishing school (where she met Areida). Cannot express how much I love the book and the movie ugh.

[@SophiaPhannn]

THE BOOK IS JUST SOOOOOOO 😩 I hope they remake the movie in the future

[@charlieTtea]

this movie is such a childhood fave of mine and every time I rewatch it I just get more and more bisexual. It strengthens my bi powers to the max

[@melissamedina3123]

That law and order theme sound had to be intentional. Hugh dancy is a lawyer on law and order 😂

[@meganmakes5430]

I read the Ella Enchanted book before I ever saw the movie, so I felt so betrayed when this movie came out. But now that I'm older, I feel the way you do - I see both the book and the movie as separate entities that are each their own thing and I can enjoy them separately. That being said, I never really noticed how pick-and-choosy the rules of the obedience are in this movie until you pointed it out! And I also liked that you mentioned how Ella could technically obey orders by finding loopholes in the wording. She could! And in the book, she absolutely did. For example, in the book she went to finishing school and her music instructor said, "Sing louder, Ella" and Ella "obeyed" by shouting. And then when the instructor told her to sing more quietly, Ella dropped to a whisper. The book makes it very apparent that Ella is rebellious and clever and Hattie realized the need to give Ella very specific instructions or else she'd find a work around. Areida is mentioned in the second book because the main character of the second book is Areida's adopted sister. :) It was an OK book. I liked it because it was in the same universe but I've re-read Ella Enchanted probably 15 times by this point and I've only read the sequel twice.

[@IconVlog.]

Vivica A Fox looks soooo good as the fairy in this movie 😩🫶🏾

[@SophiaPhannn]

RIIIGGHHTT she was eating everyone up with her fairy fit!! 😍

[@thewannabegamer9]

I agree about your thoughts with the commands, but I’ve always had the head cannon that the gift follows the intentions of the words not necessarily the wording. Like when she was told to take the slippers, the intent was for her to steal them so that is what Ella had to follow.

[@SophiaPhannn]

When Ella was commanded to pick the bouquets, the stepmother intended them to be flowers, but she ended up picking poison ivy!!! So that theory doesn’t work unfortunately

[@thewannabegamer9]

@@SophiaPhannn oh, you’re right! Oh well! Still a fun movie! 😂💕

[@DanGamingFan2846]

I love this movie so much, arguably the best alternate take on Cinderella. Also, fun fact: the actress who played Hattie, the older of the stepsisters, has played a wicked stepsister in three different movies! It's apparently her favorite role to play.

[@watershipup7101]

I couldn't agree more.

[@ElliotLowell]

I highly suggest watching Ever After. It's my favourite Cinderella adaptation

[@pipermeh3350]

This is such a comfort movie. I love movies that dont take themselves seriously. They are just fun. Also Cary Elwes is just amazing as the uncle. Love him in this role.

[@TigerwomanXsweden]

"Nobody should be forced to do something they don't want to do" she says as she's sitting on a sentient being's back who has no say in the matter....

[@idkjade]

I was obsessed with this soundtrack growing up. The Anne Hathaway/Jesse McCartney Don’t Go Breaking My Heart was my FAVORITE!!!

[@raeven358]

If you think about it. She easily could’ve looked at a mirror from the beginning or maybe when she was a child, and just say“Ella don't be obedient anymore”

[@ravenlord4]

Those kinds of constraints (where you MUST obey) that you were talking about at 9:56 when two commands seem to have conflicting results can have devastating effects. "2001: A Space Odyssey" has that as a sub-plot as the HAL-9000 computer goes on a killing spree as a solution to dealing with conflicting orders. Obviously way to dark for a movie like this, but I could see a fantasy-horror flick having fun with it, lol ;)

[@BigFanOfManyThings]

Even though Ella was told to never tell anyone about her ‘gift’, Lucinda is her godmother so she can say what she wants to her about it. Even though Edger told Ella to never tell of the assassination plot, she could’ve got around that by loophole. Just tell Lucinda ‘don’t you realise this gift of doing as I’m told has lead me to commit crimes on behalf of people. It could lead to me to even being r-worded or executed? Take this away now!’

[@alexandraizaguirre718]

Lucy Punch, who plays Hattie, has played an evil stepsister at least 3 times in 3 different adaptations of Cinderella or involving a Cinderella-like character. Loved her in the Tenth Kingdom too, which was like Once Upon a Time before OUaT.

[@a.g.demada5263]

The question you should ask about Lucinda is : " Why is she still allowed to give gifts ? ". Good thing Ella doesn't live in our days with all the bullshits people say. I remember seeing an advisor of this movie in a teen girl magazine I had and it was described as " the live equivalent of Shrek " which is true when you see the mix between the Middle Age and our days so that explain why Slalem knows.

[@SophiaPhannn]

Omg I saw the comparison to Shrek, and now I can’t unsee it 😂

[@a.g.demada5263]

​@@SophiaPhannn also about how Ella got rid of her gift, I think it worked only because she was really in danger and we all know that live is stronger than any form of magic

[@prophet_of_troy]

You're thinking of Fairest. Gail Carson Levine wrote a second book in the universe about Areida's sister, a sort of Snow White, but not really. It's really good. I read all of her books as a kid, and I would LOVE for them to make an accurate movie adaptation. I miss Book Ella, who did fight back on her curses, finding alternative ways to interpret them wrong. None of this really happened in the book, and while I do enjoy the movie, like you said, the book in my opinion was so much better explored.
