Ella Enchanted

The first song Ella sings, "Somebody to Love" was not the original song choice. Tommy O'Haver had discovered that Anne Hathaway didn't have very good chemistry with their first choice, a more classical "fairy-tale" song. O'Haver and Hathaway were relaxing when she starting singing along and dancing to the song that was currently playing: Queen's "Somebody to Love". They both decided that "this was it".

Ella's enchantment fails on at least two occasions: when Prince Charmont says "Allow me" and she continues to refuse his help, and when Slannen says "Forget it" and she continues to discuss his legal aspirations. The earlier "bite me" scene established that Ella's enchantment takes colloquial "commands" literally, thus she should have allowed Char to help her, and literally forgotten about Slannen's peeves.

The cityscape of the Miramax logo dissolves into the cityscape of the medieval city in the movie.

An extended version of this film is only available on Sky Cinema. Some of the changes include: Char and Uncle Edgar's extended talk in the carriage. Sloan talking to Ella about the Brother Grimns after the elves were arrested instead of during the day. The fight scene with Char and the Ogres is extended. The song If You Believe which was co written by Brian Adams, is cut and replaced with a different song during the ending credits. The song When You Believe doesn't play in the film when Hattie is talking about Char. Theatrical 91 minutes Extended 96 minutes.
