I liked the live version way better then the animation one. Well acted and was surprisingly entertaining.

**Beautiful and bland at the same time.** The story that's been told 1,000 times. Although this retelling boasts the most impressive costumes and stage design with an excellent cast, there is not much else to set it apart. Everything is familiar, draining some of the magic from this classic story.

Lily James takes the title role in this colourful telling of the original rags to riches story.

The original story was somewhat lacking, but had fantastic animation for the time, along with voice acting and writing parallel wit...

> Probably the best live-shot Cinderella I've seen. Disney has done it again. Everybody knows Cinderella story and what this film gave was as it is with the help of modern CGI works. When I heard about the Disney's live-shot version is getting ready, I had a serious doubt, but not anymore. Nowadays, the filmmakers know how to pull it off a big budget movie with ease. Especially from Hollywood, if one market fai...
