[100 Things] My DVD Collection: Ella Enchanted & Penelope

 

Who doesn't enjoy a good fairytale once in a while, huh? With the success of OUAT lately, I guess most people understand the draw of a good fairytale based movie, right?

Ella Enchanted is silly at best, but its good fun, and has some great moments that could make you cry as well as all those that'll make you laugh out loud. The cast is fantastic and I defy you not to be singing Somebody To Love for like a week after you watch this storybook adventure of the girl cursed to always do as she's told.

Then there's our other heroine, Penelope. She too is cursed, but with something more physical - the face of a pig! The moral of the story is of course to see beneath the surface, and learn to love the person on the inside, but its not just the guy in the tale that learns that lesson, its Penelope herself too.

They're both feel-good fairytales, with enough fun and laughs and even love to stop you noticing you're learning something moral on the way. I love them :)
