We loved the book! One of my favourite things about it was that the author painted Ella as a strong independent heroine who rescues the prince and saves the day. That's probably the reason we were so disappointed with the movie. It departed so far from the original storyline that even my youngest daughter, who was 4 1/2 at the time, commented that she thought Ella was "wimpy" in the movie. Perhaps if we hadn't read the book first we might have enjoyed the movie more.<BR/>~Melanie~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
