The story has endured as a staple of children’s literature since its initial publication in 1997. Ella must obey every command she is given. However, we always hope the changes will be intentional and well thought out.Įlla Enchanted (the Newbery Honor novel) is an extremely popular middle grade retelling of the Cinderella story, with the twist that Ella has received a terrifying “gift” from a fairy named Lucinda. In general, there should be a lot of changes to a book plot to make it work as a movie.
As Lindsay Ellis argued in her PBS Digital series “It’s Lit,” the book will generally feel more personal and well-drawn in your head than the movie adaptation. Those of the “book is always better” camp actually have a valid foundation to their argument. Movie adaptations of beloved books are a sticky situation for fans.
