One thing that bothered me about _Ella Enchanted_ is that in the end, despite the spunk shown by Ella, I had the feeling that it was all about getting the Prince. I know it is accomplished in a more novel way, but if my memory serves me correctly, she kind of becomes obsessed with him (too strong a word?) in the end, and nothing else seems to matter. I enjoy these kinds of fleshed-out fairy tales enormously, and this one will surely find a popular audience, but I wanted a stronger, more feminist resolution to the story.
