CORPORATE LINE: Anne Hathaway, the delightful star of THE PRINCESS DIARIES, is Ella in the charming fairy tale adventure ELLA ENCHANTED. On the day of her birth, Ella is given a gift from her Fairy Godmother — the gift of obedience, which is also a curse. Under no circumstances can Ella refuse anything she is asked to do, no matter how wicked it may be. Tired of being taken advantage of, Ella, with a talking book as her companion, leaves home to find her Fairy Godmother and return her unwanted gift. This simple errand soon turns into an amazing journey filled with ogres, giants, wicked stepsisters, elves, and the plotting of Prince Charmont’s evil uncle who wants to take over the Crown and rule the kingdom. Bursting with colorful characters, music, wit, and whimsy, ELLA ENCHANTED is a truly enchanting and heartwarming tale that will captivate the entire family.

THE FILM: Ella Enchanted is a cute story that takes the fairy tale out of Cinderella and the wise-cracker style of Shrek. Ella Enchanted is an adorable film that is sure to make young girls smile and dream of kicking butt, and of course find her prince.

What makes Ella Enchanted different is how much fun it is unlike most of the films that touch upon similar subjects—not to mention Ella has some pretty good moves. Ella Enchanted does a great job of taking shots at a lot of those same movies.
