Of all the innumerable fairy tale retellings, creatives keep turning to Cinderella for inspiration. Present in some form across almost every culture, the ancient folk story has it all: a beleaguered heroine triumphing over strife, a dazzling love story, some dashes of magic, and plenty of ballgowns. And of those interpretations, few reinvent the narrative's bones with as much wit, imaginative grandeur, sense of historical place (with artistic liberties, of course), and feminist leanings that are far more thoughtful than recycled girl power slogans, as Ever After. Released in 1998, heroine Danielle de Barbarac's (Drew Barrymore) unrepentant passion, resilience, and self-rescuing competence endeared her to generations of women.
