Based on Gail Carson Levine's award winning novel, this is the story of Ella, a young woman who was given a "gift" of obedience by a fairy named Lucinda. Anything anyone tells her to do, she must obey. When her mother passes away, Ella is cared for by her thoughtless and greedy father who remarries a loathsome woman with two treacherous daughters. This modern-day, fantasy Cinderella features fairies, ogres and elves...as well as a hero in the guise of Prince Charmont, whom Ella falls in love with. Unlike Cinderella though, Ella must depend on herself and her intelligence to get her through her troubles and find Lucinda in order for her "curse" to be broken! Written by M. C. Gomez
Ella (Anne Hathaway) has been cursed by her dimented fairy godmother with the gift of obedience. On the quest to find her godmother again to make her take back the "gift", Ella meets, and reluctantly falls in love with the Prince (Hugh Dancy) of Frell. Written by Anonymous
