I genuinely believe the live action Cinderella is not only the best live action Disney has made but also it's one of the best films of the last 20 years period!

Gif credit: @omniavincitamor

Now there's many reasons for this but on my latest rewatch I was struck by how perfectly it balances between being a children's movie for little girls to watch at their pajama parties with friends and being the kind of movie like Pride and Prejudice that grown women sit together and drink wine while they watch and swoon over the hero and the dresses and cry at the emotional parts.

It is simultaneously a film any adult can appreciate while still capturing all of that wholesome childhood joy and Innocence. And Ella perfectly captured those two things too. She keeps her child's heart that believes in goodness and magic but also she's growing up. Lily played the part perfectly, all those little moments where she's kinda astonished by her proximity to the prince and what that's making her feel. She calls herself "just a girl" but she's also feeling woman feelings and her portrayal of growing up is really beautiful because it doesn't make it seem like a bad thing. So much media makes the end of childhood seem sad but Ella brings the best of childhood with her into her unfolding adulthood as we watch her grow up.

Also the foley artists/sound editing also did a MAGNIFICENT job with the sound effects. Because while they could have just had the sweeping score for the waltz with none of the ambient sound, instead you get all those swishes of the skirt and caught breaths which adds so much texture and intimacy to the dance. Like the sexual tension between Ella and Kit is at 11 in all the scenes at the ball and afterwards (Richard's blue eyes doing 80% of the work there) but it's still innocent. This isn't a children's film trying to "get away" with mature themes. It's the kind of film you could use to explain adult feelings to children coming up on puberty in a way that wouldn't make them feel shameful or dirty. It's Wholesome Sexual Tension. Which is something there is far too little of in modern cinema.

It's both a film for grown ups and a film for children and it didn't cut corners to accomplish both. It's equally both and they didn't kiddie-ify the adult parts like the abuse or the grown-up feelings Ella and Kit have for each other but nor did they try to make it an adult themed film. It is still a princess movie but it's one for grown ups as much or more than it is for little girls and that's beautiful. I for one find it deeply healing for my inner child and my adult self and I feel I'm not the only one.

Also the costuming is immaculate even on background characters with no speaking roles. Literally could not get better costumes. I could talk about this movie forever but I'll stop now and probably make more posts about it in future

"Cinderella is weak"

Remaining kind and loving when you're repeatedly put through abuse and trauma is one of the bravest and strongest things you can do actually, but go off I guess

I’d like to say something about how well animals are used in Disney’s Cinderella 2015.

Reminder: the point of the movie is “Have courage and be kind and your dreams will come true.”

Cinderella and Kit both believe this principle and both act on this principle, through thick and thin and the hardest of circumstances. So the way they live their lives and the decisions they make in the story all make that “kindness and courage” point perfectly.

The whole movie treats kindness and courage like a superpower. It’s this beautiful cause and effect, repeated over and over.

Because Ella is kind, she gets to go to the ball. And that’s the big one. So I think sometimes we overlook other areas where she’s repeatedly kind. Like with the animals. I shall explain.

In the opening of the movie, the Narrator compares Ella to a princess watching over a kingdom. Who’s the kingdom? Her animal friends, and the house they’ve lived in with their people for generations.

But specifically, the animals. Little Ella picks up, not kittens or puppies, but mice. (She’s kind to all animals, but the lowest, like mice and lizards, are the ones she most often comes into contact with and helps. And then they, the humblest of creatures, get “a night at the ball” where they’re transformed.)

And her mom specifically says that their job is to “look after” the animals. Throughout the whole movie, Ella never scolds her wicked stepsisters. She never reprimands them or snaps back. But she does reprimand who?

Lucifer, the cat. The mouse family (especially Gus.) She’s not just kind to them. She mothers them. She takes care of them. Like they’re the subjects in her kingdom. They all have to get along, on her watch. They all have to get enough to eat. They all have to stay safe and happy.

When she has nothing, she’s taking care of them. So, when, at the end of the movie, she calls the Prince “My Kit,” and he calls her “My Queen,” they’re both acknowledging the other person’s true self. Kit is a King in Training, not just THE PRINCE—but Ella is a Queen, not just CINDERELLA. And how do we know she’ll make a good Queen? Because we’ve seen how well she takes care of the lowest, humblest creatures.

And she’s rewarded for taking care of others. She’s rewarded for self-sacrifice and kindness. Obviously, the mice help her when she’s locked in the attic, and they pull her carriage as horses.

But that’s not the only example of her kindness to animals leading to dreams coming true. After all, when she meets the Prince, it’s not just because she’s running from how cruel her stepsisters are. The horse doesn’t spook for no reason—it spooks because a Stag startled it.

What Stag, you ask?

The Stag that Ella saved from the hunting party. She’s never met it before, and it had it’s horns lowered to her, right in the middle of interrupting her one—of only two—moments of despair. But she responds by warning it and telling it to run—her own troubles forgotten in a second, acting out of kindness.

Then her horse spooks. And then the courageous Prince notices, abandons the propriety of the Hunt, and meets/falls in love with her.

See? Cause and effect. She only meets the Prince after her kindness to one animal directly leads her to being noticed by him.

In fact, the whole conversation they fall in love over is about how he should be kind to the stag, and have the courage to do what’s right rather than just “what’s done.”

So anyway. In conclusion. This movie’s a masterpiece. And it uses animals as 1) an object lesson of how the humblest of creatures are worth caring for, and 2) how kindness and courage to those who have the least chance of rewarding you will be rewarded. Whether they’re wicked stepsisters incapable of love, or mice and geese incapable of speech.

The two time's when the disney live action remakes understood the value of love stories did the romance right.

No offence, but at the present moment Disney isn't capable of telling love stories like these 👇

#cinderella 2015 is the only romantic live action #ella and kit are wonderful 😍#the other remakes aren't so touching #in my opinion there's no chemistry between the characters 😕#animated aladdin and jasmine are better than aladdin and jasmine of the remake #and willabeth is the best couple in disney universe 💖#cinderella 2015 #aladdin 1992 #pirates of the caribbean #willabeth #will x elizabeth #aladdin and jasmine #princess jasmine #cinderella #ella and kit #fairy-tale love #i miss fairy-tale love #let me dream #disney

i figured out what the formula to a great disney princess live action remakes; the chemistry. because i believe ella and kit are in love when i watched cinderella. i believe ariel and eric are in love when i watched the little mermaid. and the end of their movies, im so happy to know they’re together after all those hardships they went through. the actors’ chemistry are off the chart for those two movies so in the next remakes, they better find those who can act in love and actually believeable at it

#so sorry for beauty and the beast & aladdin #i think its bad that we cant really see beast's expression #the little mermaid #ariel #princess ariel #eric #prince eric #ella #cinderella #kit #prince charming #disney #disney princess #disney remakes

"Can you take me as I am? A good honest country who loves you?"

"Of course! If you'll take me as I am. An apprentice still learning his trade."

I love this dialogue. I love it so much. Because it shows that not only is he completely willing to accept her for who she is, he just truly sees her as his equal. His crown and her lack of wealth literally changes nothing at all. He loves her regardless of whether she's a princess or a good honest country girl. To him there is no difference.
