Cinderella and EverAfter

 

            When most people think of the movie, "Cinderella", they think of the .
             animated Disney version with the little mice and the happy ending where .
             Cinderella marries the prince and they live happily ever after. While the .
             movie "Ever After" is based on "Cinderella", it is not animated, but still .
             has many of the same characteristics as the Disney version. Of course it is .
             not exactly the same, and since it is not animated there are many .
             differences. In "Ever After", Drew Barrymore portrays the character .
             Cinderella, who in the beginning of this movie is called Danielle. In the .
             very beginning, it shows how Danielle's father died and how she went off to .
             live with her wicked stepmother and stepsisters. In "Cinderella", both of .
             the stepsisters are wicked, but in "Ever After", her sister Jacqueline is .
             not so wicked and usually sides with Danielle. In "Ever After", Jacqueline .
             is the not so pretty and quiet sister and Marguerite is the loud obnoxious .
             pretty one. One similarity is that in both movies, Cinderella and Danielle .
             are servants to their stepmother and stepsisters. They are also not allowed .
             to eat with them, only serve them. In "Ever After", Danielle's only friends .
             are the other servants of the house, this is similar to how Cinderella is .
             friends with the mice that live in her house. In both cases their friends .
             are always protective and willing to help. In "Cinderella", Cinderella .
             doesn't meet the prince before the ball, she doesn't even really expect to .
             be going to the ball. In "Ever After", Danielle meets the prince in a .
             confrontation where the prince was actually stealing one of their horses. .
             Danielle starts pegging him with apples, but just as she realizes that he is .
             the prince, she kneels down before him. She apologizes, but the prince is .
             lenient and says he will not punish her. He also gives her money to keep .
             quiet about the whole situation. In "Ever After", Danielle repeatedly bumps .
             into the prince.
