We all know how fairy tales go, the happily ever after ending, but did you ever wonder if there was some sort of monitoring going on to make sure that everyone had a happy story? Well, that's what this story is about, only Cinderella has another man in her life that wants her heart, a slave, Rick, who wants a happy ending of his own. But when Cinderella's step mom finds out about the monitoring, she takes over and wants the villains for once to win the day.
Happily N'ever After is a silly film, but it was all in good fun, you have got to admit that the prince character was pretty funny, when he was admitting all his failures and started crying. There were some fun moments also, I think people were a little too harsh on the film, just give it a look for yourself, it's not unique, but it's just a fun little animated film that I think just got over looked.
