There’s nothing like a classic, is there? Especially at Christmas time, nostalgia and Christmas seem to go hand in hand.
After the success of turning an animated Disney Classic into a live action spectacular with Maleficent, next year Cinders will be getting her turn again on the big screen in a new adaptation. Due for release in March 2015 and with Lily James cast in the title role, it looks like it is going to be a treat of a film, full of magic and glitz and beautiful ballgowns. I will most definitely be watching it!
But today, while I was feeling a bit down and full of the inevitable winter cold, I decided to indulge myself in the 1950s Cinderella, who is looking fabulous for nearly 65 years old, might I add! Now she has never been my favourite Disney princess, that spot is reserved for Belle from Beauty and the Beast, but she has a charm all her own. Very of the age and borderline cheesy but it is undeniably entertaining and a good remedy for a boring winter’s day.
The newer Disney Classics might be more interesting and have stronger female characters, but Cinderella has earned her place as one of the more popular Disney Princess fairy tales. Wouldn’t we all love a fairy godmother who can find us a prince and give us a killer dress for the party to boot?
I know I would!
