My daughter and I went to see Cinderella last Monday. She was so excited see this movie! I absolutely love seeing these fairy tales come to life in the movies. Disney does such a wonderful job. The movie follows true to the fairy tale however shows “Ella” living with both parents in the beginning of the movie. There were three parent deaths in the movie and the last one had my 7 year old in tears. She loved the movie but said she did not like the deaths. I believe this movie is good for most ages. There was no loud violence or scary parts.
And lets not forget Frozen Fever that you get to see before the movie! Frozen Fever was so cute.
In “Frozen Fever,” it’s Anna’s birthday and Elsa and Kristoff are determined to give her the best celebration ever, but when Elsa catches a cold, her powers may put more than just the party at risk.
The story of “Cinderella” follows the fortunes of young Ella (Lily James) whose merchant father remarries following the death of her mother. Eager to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new Stepmother (Cate Blanchett) and her daughters Anastasia (Holliday Grainger) and Drisella (Sophie McShera) into the family home. But, when Ella’s father unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family.
Soon, she is forced to become their servant, disrespected, covered in ashes and spitefully renamed Cinderella. Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted upon her, Ella will not give in to despair nor despise those who mistreat her, and she continues to remain positive, determined to honor her mother’s dying words and to “have courage and be kind.”
When Ella meets a dashing stranger in the woods, unaware that he is really the Prince (Richard Madden) and not merely Kit, an apprentice at the palace, she believes she has finally found a kindred soul. It appears her fortunes may be about to change when the King (Derek Jacobi) summons all maidens in the kingdom to attend a royal ball at the palace, raising Ella’s hopes of once again encountering the charming Kit. Alas, her Stepmother forbids her to attend and callously destroys her dress.
Meanwhile, the calculating Grand Duke (Stellan Skarsgård) devises a plan to thwart the Prince’s hopes of reuniting with Ella and enlists the support of the devious Stepmother. But, as in all good fairy tales, help is at hand. Soon, a kindly beggar woman (Helena Bonham Carter) steps forward and, armed with a pumpkin, a few mice and a magic wand, changes Cinderella’s life forever.
I’ll probably catch this when it comes to Netflix. I Hear good things 🙂
When she walks into the ball her dress just looks magical. We should all own a dress like that. 😉
I agree!
I’m really excited to see this. I usually wait for movies to hit Netflix, but I think I’ll make a trip to the theater for this one!
I can’t wait to take my daughter to see this! We are going to have a mommy daughter date this weekend to go see it 🙂
I won’t see this one until it hits cable, but it’s good to know about the three deaths upfront in the movie as kids certainly handle death very differently and have different reactions to it.
This is going to be SO great. Of course my rotten husband and son aren’t going to go see it with me, but I don’t care. I can enjoy it all myself!
This looks like a great movie. I have plans to take my niece she love Cinderella.
LOve this movie! And that there was a Frozen preview in it, made it a hit with my daughter!
It was such a visually stunning movie to see. We really enjoyed watching it at our screening.
I can’t wait to see Cinderella, it’s one of the Disney stories that I loved since I was a little girl. I love how they’re taking the fairy tales and recreating them
I can’t wait to see this movie. I have heard nothing but good things about it.
Some of my friends have seen Cinderella already. They seemed to like it. I’ll be seeing it soon!
Since I don’t have a daughter or a niece (living anywhere near me) who is old enough, I guess I’ll wait until it comes out on DVD, but can’t wait! Cinderella was my favorite fairytale as a young girl. 🙂
I can’t wait for this movie! I think this one will go down in history as another great disney classic.
The costumes look stunning. I haven’t been able to convince my guys to go with me to see it, so I guess I’ll have to go solo.
I am eager to see this! My girlies are too they can’t wait! We love Cinderella! This looks really great!
This is definitely a movie I want to see. I love that they’ve brought Cinderella back.
I wanted to watch Cinderella for my birthday, but haven’t had a chance yet. My girls would adore it and I’m sure we’ll need some tissue.
We loved this movie! It is such a classical rendition of the fairy tale but with a bit of updating in the sentiment. I loved the costumes too!
We adored the movie. I appreciated the increased focus on the relationships within the story.
Cinderella was lovely. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Such a classic love story
I can’t wait to see this one. We are going to wait a few weeks though for the crowds to die down a bit.
I just loved seeing this movie! So glad to share it with my family
Exciting movie. A must see again and again.
This has always been my favorite story. Im so excited to see the movie and my 3 nieces are more excited about Frozen Fever.
We took kiddo to see this movie over the weekend. I was awesome and I am thrilled with how well it turned out. It is not exactly the same as the original toon, but just enough to keep the story in tact.
I can’t wait to see this movie, i know my daughter is looking forward to as well.
I have heard so much great about this movie. Can’t wait to see it.
