Cinderella [DVD]

Product Information

And this is where Fab G comes in, magicking up the couture from Cinderella’s drawing board and transforming the three mice in her cottage into three bickering Brit comics: Romesh Ranganathan, James Acaster and Corden. A contemporary musical version of the classic Cinderella story in which the servant step daughter hope to compete in a musical competition for a famous pop star.

We understand that not everyone can donate right now, but if you can afford to contribute, we promise it will be put to good use. Idina Menzel - best known for voicing Princess Elsa and singing that song in Frozen - will be showing off her vocals in live-action this time as Cinderella's wicked stepmother, while Dumplin's Maddie Baillio and Sanditon's Charlotte Spencer play her equally abusive stepsisters. Routinely exploited by her wicked stepmother, the downtrodden Samantha Montgomery is excited about the prospect of meeting her Internet beau at the school's Halloween dance. The Brothers Grimm arrive at the home of a wealthy Grande Dame who speaks of the many legends surrounding the fable of the cinder girl before telling the "true" story of her ancestor.

There is also Queen Beatrice, elegantly played by Minnie Driver, who at one stage is rocking a glorious white fencing outfit. There's also an absolute carriage full of stars to bring this bright and bold musical to life, including pop sensation Camila Cabello in her first acting role and James Corden lending his voice to yet another musical. Robert is under pressure from his parents, especially grouchy King Rowan (an outrageous scene-stealer from Pierce Brosnan), a testy and insecure monarch who has secretly modified his throne so it’s higher than the queen’s, and keeps a choir on standby in the throne room to punctuate his angry declarations with mood-music stings. A beautiful girl attends a royal ball where she meets the love of her life and must then fight for it. Cinderella’s producer-star James Corden staged an intensely annoying traffic-stopping flashmob publicity stunt for which prison sentences for all concerned would not be too harsh.

The story of Cinderella follows young Ella (Lily James) whose merchant father remarries following the death of her mother. Journey into happily ever after as you revisit one of history's most beloved fairy tales in a modern, musical experience. Eager to support her loving father, she finds herself at the mercy of her jealous and cruel new family. It certainly pre-fluffed the snark glands of social media, with much overexcitement at the thought of a new Cats debacle .A kind-hearted orphan lives with her emotionally abusive relatives until a popular boy takes an interest after accidentally killing her cat. A modern, musical spin on the tale of Cinderella that follows a high school girl who falls for a boy at her Performing Arts school. A new interpretation is mandatory, and there happens also to be another counter-Cinderella, or Cinderella 2. When her father unexpectedly dies, young Ella finds herself at the mercy of her cruel stepmother and her scheming stepsisters. Follow young Ella as she looks for a way to come out of her own personal poverty and enjoy a better life for herself.

Cinderella was originally set for a cinema release in July 2021, but was one of many films that have since moved to streaming amid ongoing box office uncertainty. Doesn’t she want to go to the ball, testily inquires genderqueer fairy godparent Fab G, played by Billy Porter. Cinderella lives in a quaint Disney-National-Trust village in a vast cottage with her horrid step- (not “ugly”, please) sisters Anastasia (Maddie Baillio) and Drizella (Charlotte Spencer) and fierce stepmother Vivian (Idina Menzel), whose own revisionist third-act redemption is visible a mile away. Our resources are crucial for knowledge lovers everywhere—so if you find all these bits and bytes useful, please pitch in. Despite her vain stepmother and mean stepsisters, an aspiring singer finds her own holiday miracle as she works as an elf at a Christmas-tree lot.The moody and almost extraterrestrially handsome Prince Robert (Nicholas Galitzine) is yearning for true love, unlike Cinderella, whose emotions are focused elsewhere: she wants professional recognition for her vocation as a fashion designer and dressmaker. Actually, Branagh’s version, like the notorious 1977 soft-porn musical The Other Cinderella, was a little bit more candid about the fitting of the glass slipper, with all its Freudian associations. Finley Tremaine, a small town farm girl, longs to spread her wings and soar as an aspiring performer.
