It is, in fact, a heartbreaking story that's gently and beautifully told. With sincerity and girl-power can do, Ever After transforms the traditional story into a textured revision that isn't neatly tied up with a bow.
HONEST KIDS APPILY EVER AFTER HOW TO
It's hard to imagine how to improve upon the classic that is Cinderella, but this delightful romantic drama does just that. The prince is the one who needs to do some severe character growth in this one.Ģ) Opportunities to pause and have brief educational talks with the kids about the problems of class-based societies and about who Leonardo DaVinci was.ģ) The film is also very pro-reading, pro-literature, in the same way Disney's Beauty and the Beast was.Ĥ) Your kids already know the basic story of Cinderella so they can pay more attention to the details. The heroine isn't in need of rescuing and stands up for herself and for those she loves. The *positives* of the film that are worthy of noting as a parent:ġ) As far as Cinderella films go, it is *very* pro-woman. That's my response to the possible negatives. Really, so far as I could tell, there was nothing else that concerned me as a parent. Le Pieu (Don't know whether I'm more amused by his sharing a character name with the overamorous skunk from the Warner Brothers 'toons or his being played by Riff Raff from the Rocky Horror Picture Show) makes a double-entendre about his being well-endowed (with wealth) and Leonardo responds to Prince Henry's lame defense of his poor treatment of Danielle with "Bullsh*t". I was concerned when I saw that it was rated PG-13 - our twin girls are only six and a half - and I honestly couldn't remember anything in it that would justify the rating. My wife and I had been wanting to rewatch this with our girls for some time.
