Sadly, that's probably true. They didn't care so much for Ella as they did the Tremaine's. But they could have done the same story with Gothel in place of Tremaine and Rapunzel being Henry's princess, and even used Rapunzel version 1 or something, having Henry being Flynn. Rapunzel 1 was so bland she needed a better story. But I guess once she was out of the tower there was no going back.

I absolutely loved the Tremaines (at least Lady and Drizella...Anastasia wasn't around enough) and I am glad they used them. It would have been nice to have had more of the Cinderella mythos involved, though.
