Prince Charming Falls For Cinderella Before the Ball

While this film's Prince Charming is pretty similar to the Disney version — he doesn't really care to find a wife and has an overbearing father with high expectations for his life — one key difference is that he actually falls in love with Cinderella without all the glitz and glamour. In fact, he actually meets and falls for Cinderella before the ball and only agrees to have one so that he can see her again.

I personally love this spin on the narrative, but at the same time, it made the classic ending with the glass slipper a little meaningless. If he already knows who Cinderella is, why go the extra length of having everyone in the kingdom try on the glass slipper?
