Ella Enchanted

Modern-day fairy tale starring Anne Hathaway as Ella, who lives in a magical world where every child is given a gift by a fairy godmother after they are born.

Ella is given the 'gift' of obedience - which soon turns out to be more of a curse, as her thoughtless and selfish father gets re-married after the death of Ella's mother to a vain and cruel woman with two equally unpleasant daughters - and Ella is spellbound to do everything they tell her to.

Determined to track down the godmother who burdened her with this terrible gift, Ella embarks on a journey that takes in all kinds of magical adventures and fantastical creatures including fairies, elves, ogres and a prince (Hugh Dancy).
