Cinematic Saturdays – Ever After

I’ve said it before (though, perhaps not on my blog) that I didn’t exactly grow up with Disney princesses like many girls did/do. We just didn’t watch those movies much… I did watch Cinderella, though, and I must say I didn’t really like it all that much. In fact, I wondered why my friends did like it. To me, it was just kinda… meh.

But– when I saw Ever After? I loved it! And I still do. 🙂

Gustave is one of my favorite characters…
I just love him!

Danielle with her best friend, Gustave

…and his friendship with Danielle. 😉

Gustave: “You look like a girl!” >> Danielle: “That’s what I am, halfwit!” >> Gustave: “Yeah, but today you look it!” >> Danielle: “Boy or girl, I can still whip you!”

Paulette & Louise are wonderful!

Leonardo’s humor is great!

Oh, Leonardo… that sense of humor. 😀

And the Gypsies are a fun experience, too. 😉

List of the Full Cast & Crew

~ Storyline ~

With the sudden death of her loving father, Danielle is made a servant by her new stepmother. She also has two new stepsisters, one quite kind but the other one really horrid. Still, Danielle grows up to be a happy and strong-willed young lady, and one day her path crosses that of handsome Prince Henry, who has troubles of his own at home. Luckily the nice Leonardo da Vinci is on hand to help all round.
