From the Paper:

"In the video versions of the "Cinderella" story the viewer can see the comparisons that are evident throughout each movie. The three movies, "Ever After", "Pretty Woman" and Disney's "Cinderella" are each enchanting and delicate in there own way and each offering their own unique version of the classic fairy tale "Cinderella". The story of "Cinderella" dates back several centuries and the video versions are modern, the eldest being Disney's "Cinderella" dated 1950. I will take a closer look at the above movies and compare them according to the "Nine Variants of Cinderella," and then apply what the "Cinderella" fairy tale represents to the viewer and whether or not it is relevant in today's society."
