vs 
I love Ever After! It is my all time favourite version of Cinderella, so when I saw that Disney had put out a new live version of the film, I was pretty excited. I didn’t think it would compare, but I have to admit that this new version looked pretty darn good. So, I watched it.
One of the things that I love about Ever After is the costumes. The time period is based in the Renaissance, so the costumes are Medieval based. I really love the ball costume for Cinderella. The ball gown from Cinderella, since it is by Disney, is very similar to the ball gown from the cartoon version, but they did such a great job on it! The other costumes from the movies are also similar to Regency or Victorian.
The stories are fairly similar since they are both using the same source material. I felt Cinderella handled the death of the mother particularly well, even going to far as to show a before and after shot of the family. However, I finally figured out why I prefer Ever After. The endings are so different that I just had to go with Ever After as it has the stronger ending. Also, there is is this strange feeling that Cinderella is trying very hard to be like Ever After, but just doesn’t quite make it. Although I prefer Ever After, Cinderella is still very good and I highly suggest that you watch it!
