Comparative paragraph Although both the 1989 movie adaptation of the fairy tale‚ Cinderella‚ and the Grimm Brothers’ text of Cinderella‚ tell a similar story‚ I prefer the excitement of the film because the pace of the movie is faster‚ the sense of humour adds obvious benefits‚ and the colours are very symbolic and vibrant.
