help Ever After FAQ
Is Ever After a magical Cinderella movie?
No. Ever After removes most fairy-godmother magic and treats Cinderella as a Renaissance-era historical romance, with Drew Barrymore playing Danielle de Barbarac. Leonardo da Vinci, played by Patrick Godfrey, fills some of the mentor role that magic usually has in Cinderella stories.
Who plays the stepmother in Ever After?
Anjelica Huston plays Baroness Rodmilla de Ghent, Danielle's cruel stepmother. The film also stars Dougray Scott as Prince Henry and Jeanne Moreau as the older Grande Dame framing the story.
When did Ever After come out?
Ever After was released in 1998 and was directed by Andy Tennant. It was distributed by 20th Century Fox and is often listed as Ever After: A Cinderella Story.
Why do people compare Ever After to Disney's Cinderella?
Both use the Cinderella framework, but Ever After makes Danielle more active and grounded than many animated versions. Instead of a glass slipper rescue built around magic, the 1998 film focuses on class, inheritance, and Danielle's relationship with Prince Henry.
