Truly a unique interpretation of a classic tale. I can't help but wonder, did they go too far or not far enough. Many of us know the classic Disney story of Cinderella, it has become an icon of animation. In this live action version, we are given a glimpse into a part of the story that we've never seen before. In doing so, it adds to the story but it takes us along a different path than the one we're so familiar with. The story is basically the same, the bones are there... There are many details that are different, though unless you're paying close attention... They blend in. The idea and dream of the classic tale are unaltered. The contrasting elements draw you into the depth and make you feel the story like never before. Though this may be a fairy tale, it carries a real message. The simple thing of having the courage and being kind which we are all capable of. Is this destined to be a new classic or will this get lost to time. It's too early to say. I will say that I do recommend this. I would have happily given this a higher rating if it had not been for all of the errors/mistakes. The story alone deserved an 8.25, if you are curious about the errors, they are listed in the Cinderella IMDb goofs. See this alone or with family and friends and dream all over again...
