This enchanting film has arrived on?Blu-ray Combo Pack, Digital HD & Disney Movies Anywhere with bonus features that?include over 12 minutes of additional scenes, the???Frozen Fever? theatrical short and more!?
Celebrate Disney’s ?Cinderella,? a modern classic that shines with beauty, imagination?and magic! Despite being mistreated by her stepmother (Cate Blanchett) and stepsisters, a spirited Ella (Lily James) resolves to take charge of her fate. Add a royal ball, a Fairy Godmother (Helena Bonham-Carter) and a glass slipper, and suddenly ? magic becomes reality!

Lily James is Cinderella, Holliday Grainger is Anastasia and Sophie McShera is Drisella in Disney’s live-action feature inspired by the classic fairy tale, CINDERELLA, which brings to life the timeless images from Disney’s 1950 animated masterpiece as fully-realized characters in a visually dazzling spectacle for a whole new generation.
My heart swelled with happiness that moment Ella entered the ballroom in her beautiful dress. I thought it was especially great casting and the costumes were magnificent. Cinderella is a happily ever after story that never gets old. Definitely one for your DVD collection.
