Thus, when I heard a new version of the tale was debuting on Amazon Prime Video, I must admit I rolled my eyes a bit. Since then, it's been told and retold in countless shapes and forms, ranging from written works to opera and ballet, musicals, films, and TV (the latter two in both live-action and animated form). I have no idea what story has been adapted the most times from its original version, but if I were a betting man, I'd put my money on Cinderella or, more accurately, the Greek story of Rhodopis that first hit listeners' ears sometime in the rough era around Christ's birth. With time running out, Ella and Prince Robert must decide what's right for themselves. When Vivian refuses to allow Ella to attend, she gets a lucky break when a recently transformed butterfly turns into her Fabulous Godmother (BILLY PORTER) and casts a spell that will allow her to attend with only Prince Robert being able to recognize her.īut the spell is only good until midnight when Ella will return to her old self and the three mice who've been turned into her human assistants will return to rodent form. Dressing down like a commoner so that he can't be recognized, he finds Ella on the street and invites her to the ball that his father is throwing for him in hopes of him finding a bride there. He doesn't think much of loveless arranged marriages, and thus is smitten with Ella when he sees her from a distance and notes her independent nature. Meanwhile, Prince Robert (NICHOLAS GALITZINE) - while having a close relationship with his mother, Queen Beatrice (MINNIE DRIVER), and sister, Princess Gwen (TALLULAH GREIVE) - must contend with his father, King Rowan (PIERCE BROSNAN), demanding that he act more kingly and find himself a woman to marry and be his queen. With her only friends being three mice, James (voice of JAMES CORDEN), John (voice of JAMES ACASTER), and Romesh (voice of ROMESH RANGANATHAN), Ella keeps designing and making dresses while Vivian hopes that some rich man, such as Thomas Cecil (ROB BECKETT), might take one of her daughters off her hands. To make matters worse, with her father no longer around, Ella's stepmother, Vivian (IDINA MENZEL), makes her serve her and her two daughters, Malvolia (MADDIE BAILLIQ) and Narissa (CHARLOTTE SPENCER) who refer to her as Cinderella, what with Ella being forced to live in the basement. ![]() Unfortunately, in the kingdom where she lives, no woman owns a business.
