Cinderella: Fear Not! Live-Action Remakes CAN Be Good!

by Daniela

Well this is awkward. Long time no see guys! I haven't written anything since about January and I'm so sorry about that! Here's a quick little life update with what's been going on which will hopefully explain this unintentional hiatus. Part-time jobs took up pretty much all of our time and energy throughout the summer and then when February rolled in, Justine was off on holiday around Europe and then an exchange in Spain while I spent an amazing holiday in the USA. Yes, this girl finally got to visit a Disney Park and it was amazing. And right as we got back it was time for university once again. This year I've started law school and I can rightfully say that it is hectic. So, in saying that, updates won't be coming as often. But I will try to write when I can.

Last week I found out that I won tickets to go see Cinderella and I finally got to see it today. So here I am, putting my thoughts down once again while Justine is off at a Ricky Martin concert. I'll see if I can convince her to write a little something about it. No promises. Today, with two of my Once Upon a Time watching sisters, a bottle of Mountain Dew, a bucket of popcorn and a bag of chocolate buttons, it was time to experience yet another Disney live-action remake. Fun fact, I was also sitting next to a teacher from my old high school. I can't say this is the first time this has happened.


Watch the trailer for Cinderella (2015)

This live-action adaptation of Cinderella is simply beautiful, vibrant and refreshing. It’s a massive step up from Maleficent (2014) who took creative liberties and almost made it an unrecognisable story. I did initially enjoy Maleficent, but I took it in and realised that some choices were questionable. Cinderella (2015) takes the classic tale and adds welcomed embellishments here and there, rather than turning it on its head.
