Cinderella


"Have courage and be kind."

This is the moral of Cinderella's story.

The 2015 movie adaptation of this famous fairy tale showed all the elements of the original story. In the story were Cinderella, her father, her stepmother and two stepsisters, and the prince.

There was no twist to the original story. Disney remained true to the fairy tale. Unlike Ella Enchanted and Ever After (both are Cinderella adaptations), this version was very familiar. It is a delight for both children and adults alike.
