For this post, I combined tumblr gifs with book quotes, and I posted some entire gifsets because I thought the colouring was pretty :)

it was nice that the movie kept most of the named characters in the book - hattie, olive, dame olga, mandy, slannen, koopooduk, nissh the ogre and of course areida

Yeah, I’m glad that they at least kept most of the names the same. And many of the characters in the movie still fit their physical descriptions from the book, so that was nice as well.

unfortunately i didn't get any quotes from that tumblr blog and I didn't find any movie gifs that would relate to this chapter.

Haha, no worries. These chapters weren’t really my favorites anyway, lol.

Chapter 18

this is my main gripe with the movie

in the book lucinda gets a "taste of her own medicine"

she gets turned into a squirrel and she is cursed with obedience

and she realizes how horrible her "gifts" are

in the movie she never faces any consequences or has to atone for the misery she has inflicted on BABIES

and there is nothing to prevent her from doing it to someone else AGAIN

also lucinda's redemption allowed for her to magic ella a dress and a pumpkin carriage because she swore to never do "big magic" again - magic that could permanently alter someone's life. and because her magic was "small magic" everything disappeared at midnight, like the fairytale

RE: chapter 18 littlemermaid January 10 2022, 11:14:51 UTC

Yeah, that is one of my biggest issues with the movie as well. :(

Movie!Lucinda acts as though she has zero responsibility in Ella’s struggles. She actually has the nerve to tell her “don’t blame me for your problems”. Like seriously?? She is literally the reason why Ella had so many problems! Ugh.

I feel like the movie made this stupid change thinking that it would be make Ella Enchanted more “feminist”, but 1) Ella Enchanted is already a pretty feminist story in the book and 2) not holding people accountable for their wrongful actions is a terrible message.

The fact is that Lucinda IS responsible for inflicting a terrible curse on Ella and as a result caused her a lot pain and suffering. For the movie it invalidate Ella by suggesting that only she is responsible for her problems is just really awful.

this was really an interesting conundrum.

would you rather be happy and blissful, but ignorant and unknowing?

or would you rather be miserable and cognizant of the darker parts of your life?

i would always choose to be knowing, even if it would devastate me.

RE: chapter 19 littlemermaid January 10 2022, 11:22:15 UTC

Same here - I would much rather suffer knowing the truth instead of living blissfully while believing a lie.
