This is a silly, but fun fairy tale with touches of Cinderella & I'm sure other fairy tales as well. Ella is "blessed" with a spell as a baby that requires that she obey anything ordered of her. This makes her life very difficult. When her evil Step mother and Step-sisters realize this about her, she decides it is time to ask the fairy to take back the spell. In the mean time she has met the prince and fallen in love. Acting is mixed, but meant to be silly. The music is fun, late 70's. The girls loved this movie and would probably give it an A. For parents who are sensitive to such things, there is kissing and romance, not that atypical of any other fairytale romance. If you don't watch the whole movie, do watch the scene in the middle where Ella is told to "sing, sing louder, with more soul, dance" to the tune of Queen's "Send me someone to love" (title of song may be incorrect). It is hilarious and I'm sure they had a blast making the scene.

This is a cute movie and I can imagine kids liking it. If given the choice between watching this movie and worrying about whether the wings are going to stay on the plane, I'd watch the movie.
