Ella Enchanted Page #5

Synopsis: Based on Gail Carson Levine's award winning novel, this is the story of Ella, a young woman who was given a "gift" of obedience by a fairy named Lucinda. She must obey anything anyone tells her to do. When her mother passes away, she is cared for by her thoughtless and greedy father who remarries a loathsome woman with two treacherous daughters. This modern-day, fantasy Cinderella story features fairies, ogres and elves...as well as a hero in the guise of Prince Charmont, whom Ella falls in love with. Unlike Cinderella though, she must depend on herself and her intelligence to get her through her troubles and find Lucinda in order for her "curse" to be broken!

Beyond these four walls?

There are so many places in my pages

I've been wanting to visit.

Wow. What is all this?

- He knows everything.

- Thanks, sweetie, but not everything.

If I did, I'd be a lot thicker.

Can he show me anything about Lucinda?

- Can I show you anything about Lucinda?

- Watch this.

Show me Lucinda.

Ta-da!

Cool trick.

Now, which Crockery Barn?

They're all over the kingdom.

Ah.

That's the glitch. He can't tell you where

a person is. He can just show you pictures.

Like a crystal ball or a magic mirror.

Everything is so huge.

Is that a wedding registry?

Duh! They're in Giantville.

Look, she's going

to a wedding in Giantville.

- Benny, we're going to Giantville.

- How exciting.

Ella, the girls and I need bouquets

for our portrait sitting tomorrow.

Go and pick some.

Oh, my God!

So, as her stepfamily scratched

their newly found itches,

Ella was off, glad to be rid of the... witches.

Benny, can you show me a map

of the Forest of Pim?

Of course.

Whoa.

According to this map,

if we head due east towards Monster Rock,

we can cut half a day off our journey.

- What was that?

- Probably something that wants to eat us.

Ouch!

Somebody help me!

- Wait a minute.

- Sing soprano, little man!

Missed!

What do you think

you're doing to that poor elf?

Oh.

Who's this who thinks she's so tough?

Look, I think it's only fair to warn you that

I'm practiced in the ancient art... of origami.

Paper folding?

I was hoping

you wouldn't know what that was.

Don't let him scare you, sweetheart!

Kick his butt!

Don't let her do that.

Now rabbit punch.

Combo. Kneel. Front-step kick.

Dragon-roundhouse kick.

This chick is nuts!

Let's get outta here.

I think I'm gonna puke.

Let me help you with that.

I am gonna need

so much therapy after this.

Oh!

- Are you OK?

- No, I am not OK!

I think I broke something,

or dislocated it, or...

No, just a crick. Slannen of Pim.

Ella of Frell. Nice to meet you.

Well, if you're OK,

then I have to be going, but good luck.

You're going? You can't walk in this wood

on your own. How about a bite to eat?

That's very sweet,

but I'm on a tight schedule.

Fine. Message received,

Miss "l Think I'm All That".

- That's not what I meant at all.

- I extend the hand of friendship...

- I am on a tight schedule. Were I not...

- Everybody's busy...

- ...I would love to have dinner with you.

- Great! I've got a coupon.

Slannen.

If this is where you live,

why are we sneaking around?

If they spot you, you'll be sorry.

You know how all elves

are forced to sing and dance?

Yeah. So?

Visitors!

- Places, everyone.

- One, two, three, four!

Run for it!

Where are we going?
