On this day in 2004, the fantasy romantic comedy ‘Ella Enchanted’ was released by Miramax Films, then a division of Disney. A modernized, revisionist take on the Cinderella story and a satire of the fairy tale genre, ‘Ella Enchanted’ was based on a book of the same name. It follows Anne Hathaway’s Ella, whose fairy godmother magically compels her to obey any command she is given. The spell becomes a burden, and Elle sets off with a prince to break it.
