This is not the best Cinderella. It's not even an adaptation, it's simply based on the fairytale, not adapted from it. The drab, dull scenery, the boring costumes, and the stupidity in the dialogue that's been plaguing Cinderella characters for so long, it's dumb.

I have to disagree with almost everything you said, cause sure the costume lacks variety in siluette, but the story is so good and even fixed my biggest issue with Cinderella, especially the 2015 cinderella That being that Danielle/ Ella was raised less formal and proper, making more sense that she would get her hands dirty so easily. As well, having a stepmother that isn't so straightforward with the cinderella abuse, by being more subtle through backhanded complements and insults hidden as advice. Like when she said that it is true that her appearance let a lot to desire, when her daughter start making fun of her.

@braylin5003 Very well put. Ever After is one of our favorite Cinderella movies because of how believable it feels. Danielle and Henry aren’t two dimensional characters; they make mistakes and learn and grow, which makes their love story feel like a real life fairytale.

@@thecindyshow It's not a fairy tale movie. It's historical fiction. It's like this film hijacked the Cinderella story in order to tell some other story. Half the stuff has nothing to do with the Cinderella story or in anyway enhance it. Whatever Danielle and Henry are, they are no Cinderella and no Prince Charming. Just some randos with similar situations.
