This CGI movie was similar to the Shrek series of films. It has fairly big name actors providing the voices for this tale of Fairy Tales turned upside-down.
The story follows the tale of Ella, who is destined to marry the Prince and become queen at the expense of her evil stepmother and stepsisters. Her evil stepmother is not pleased with this, and seizes control of the fairytale land in order to let "evil" win.

The movie is somewhat lacking in both the animation and the story when compared to Shrek, but is not completely worthless. I would suggest this film if you want a family friendly DVD and have already watched all of the Shrek films. A good enough time waster for a rainy weekend when the kids are stuck inside.
