My Thoughts:
- This a very cute and charming movie, but it wasn't as amazing as I thought it would be.
- I loved the twist on Sleeping Beauty that Maleficent brought to the screen, and I was hoping for a great twist on Cinderella, but I was disappointed. This was a pretty classic Cinderella story.
- While charming, it was a bit corny. I was hoping this movie was for adults as well as children, but I felt it was geared more towards kids.
- Since it was corny and nothing new, I kinda wish they had just done the Rogers and Hammerstein's version.
- The whole movie was a feast for the eyes! The costumes, the sets, and everything was visually stunning.
- The cast was perfect! I loved Lily James as Cinderella! She was perfect. The prince wasn't too shabby either. I love Helena Bonham Carter, but I wanted more of her!
- It has always bugged me that Cinderella forgets she is nobility. She isn't a servant! She is a lady! It doesn't matter what her stepmother thought. I wish she had walked up the prince and said her name was Ella and she was lady of the house.
- Ella put up with a lot. I agree that is good to always be kind, but you shouldn't let others push you around either.
- The mice were cute, but again, a little corny.
- I love how they used the song Lavender Blue. I remember that song from my childhood, and I've always loved it. They changed the lyrics a bit, but I stilled loved it.
