Why?
I've been meaning to watch this movie for a while and figured that today was as good as any to dive right in.
What in the world?
Just another rendition of Cinderella but I think it's the best one I have ever seen. Even if Cinderella in the movie is just the most boring part of the whole movie.
Personal thoughts
I loved the songs. Would I listen to these on a monthly basis? Well, some of them, but Cinderella's songs were trash. Just telling the truth. The choreography for the songs is great and if you need some ideas for gymnastics go ahead and watch the one about the crypt. Yeah, that sounds weird, and it is weird now that I think about it. They go out there for a reason maybe but it's not quite clear at the time I type this. They also might have just gone to ye olde family crypt to check up on their relatives. The slippers in the movie were really great and I think you could hold one up to light and have an entire room lit up. They were shiny and so were the jackets in this movie and I don't know why that decision was made but I greatly appreciate it.
Score
Although this movie was long, I have to give it a 7 out of 10. I couldn't help but enjoy the movie and I only really started crashing once Cinderella had been found. Well to the prince of course because then there was another 40 minutes left and I just couldn't help but think I was being tortured at that point. Cinderella was not an intriguing character and I found myself hoping for scenes with her in it to end. The dowager queen (prince's grandmother) was a great character, and she deserved a lot more than what was happening. They didn't like one of the guys which was never really addressed, and they just viewed him with scorn and contempt. Very weird thing to have in a movie without any explanation but that's okay because I watched it all anyway. I definitely would recommend it if you're just looking for something to kill time and you want an occasional laugh.
Watch what you love,
