'Cinderella' Movie Review Roundup: Visually Gorgeous But Does It Offer Anything New?

Although the fairy tale of Cinderella has its origins in many folk tales from around the world, it was the version of Charles Perrault's Cendrillon that is best known. No other retelling of Cendrillon is more recognizable than the 1950s animated Disney movie Cinderella.

This year, Disney revisits the classic tale with a live-action retelling. Cinderella's signature blue ball gown, the glass slippers, the bubbly magical fairy godmother, and the evil stepmother who locks up Cinderella in her room to prevent her from trying on the glass slipper. They are all recreated in this new spin on the old tale, but did it manage to breathe new life into the story that everyone knows so well?
