While watching Ever After, I realized that the only rendition of the classic tale of Cinderella I had seen is Disney's animated version. I became aware of this about halfway into the film, when I noted that it was going to be hard for the director, Andy Tennant, and his writers to include fairy godmothers, talking mice, and carriages that turn into pumpkins after midnight. Like most children's' stories, I have no affinity for this particular fairy tale, but Ever After is a delightfully entertaining re-interpretation of the story.
