Bially--
I meant I hate when two actors play the different parts.
Thus the ONE role of Cinderella's Prince/Wolf becomes couble cast into TWO roles.
I know that it is symbolic and intentional, thats why it irks me when they don't have the same actor play both roles.

I agree-- it's like having Captain Hook and Mr. Darling played by different actors. Takes away from some of the intended nuance.
I mentioned these in another thread, but Smile, Anne of Green Gables, Jane Eyre, and A Little Princess all have many more female roles than male.
