Few people aren’t familiar with the Brothers Grimm’s Cinderella, afairy tale about a kind-hearted country girl who enduresmistreatment at the hands of her cruel and jealous stepmother.The girl never loses hope or becomes jaded by hercircumstances, and eventually she wins the heart of a dashing prince. Now this classic story hasreturned to the big screen.

Disney has a history of targeting female audiences with stories that elicit the nostalgia of theirchildhood years. With dazzling costumes and lavish set design, everything in this latest live-actionversion of Cinderella is accomplished with this goal in mind.

How many girls can resist the story of a young servant who transforms into a beautiful princess,complete with an extravagant blue ball gown and shining crystal glass slippers, all designed throughthe magic of a charming fairy godmother?

Movies adapted from fairy tales are nothing new. But in recent years, many of these stories havebeen revised, even flipped on their heads, to appeal to modern audiences. The 20xx musicaldrama Into the Woods, for example, combined the stories of Cinderella, Rapunzel, Little Red RidingHood, and Jack and the Beanstalk to create an ironic tale that would appeal to adults. StarringAmerican actress Angelina Jolie, 3-D dark fantasy film Maleficent (20xx) portrayed the SleepingBeauty story through the perspective of the villain rather than the cursed princess.

Cinderella, however, stays true to its source material. There isn’t much time invested in creatingnew plot elements, instead the creators focus on details that make the story more convincing andlogical.

This time, Cinderella and her prince don’t fall in love at first sight at the royal ball — they develop afamiliarity with each other after meeting by chance in a forest.

We even feel a sense of pity for the malicious stepmother (Cate Blanchett) who overhears herhusband pouring his heart out about his love for his ex-wife. Two-time Academy Award winnerCate Blanchett’s elegance and formidable acting skills heighten the stepmother’s devilishness.

If this new Cinderella didn’t its formula for modern times, it’s quite possible that audienceswould reject it. Today people prefer to see heroines make the bad guy pay rather than easilyforgive them. Women with venomous tongues, like Max in 2 Broke Girls, always outshine theirmore forgiving counterparts.

Cinderella mostly aims to satisfy traditional fairytale lovers, and in this endeavor it succeeds. In thefilm’s simple world, it’s appearance, goodness and honesty that count most. In fact, no matterwhat situation we’re in, it’s never wrong to follow this adage from Cinderella: “Have courage and bekind.”
