Enjoy watching along with me the full-length reaction!

You should also watch the 1997 Cinderella, based on the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical (so slightly more fantastical) — also a great telling of the same story.

This is probably my favourite Disney live-action remake (so far). But I suggest reacting to other recent live action remakes. I personally like Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, The Jungle Book and The Little Mermaid. The Lion King remake (which is bad) is always listed as live-action when in fact it's all CGI and I don't consider Maleficent or Cruella a remake, more like a retelling from a different perspective, but they're both great (especially Maleficent). Alice in Wonderland is good too. For older remakes I also recommend Rogers & Hammerstein's Cinderella (1997) starring Brandy Norwood, Whitney Houston, Whoopi Goldberg & Victor Garber, Ever After (1998) starring Drew Barrymore & Angelica Huston, and A Cinderella Story (2004) starring Hilary Duff (the last one puts a very modern spin on it). And if you haven't seen Mamma Mia I recommend that too. Lily James stars in the sequel, which is just as good, if not better, than the first one. It's a common misconception that Disney based the animation on the Brothers Grimm fairytale. It was actually based on Charles Perrault's 1697 Cinderella. That version includes the fairy godmother and the pumpkin that are not in the Grimm version, and does not include some of the darker elements; such as the stepsisters cutting off their heels & toes to make the slipper fit and them having their eyes pecked out by birds (though they did have a brief argument where Drizella threatens to scratch Anastasia's eyes out). The fairytale has often been criticized for plot elements that were seen as inconsistencies, such as why the stepmother and stepsisters didn't recognize her at the ball and why the slipper didn't fit anyone else as if no one shares Cinderella's shoe size. This adaptation addresses these issues with the Fairy Godmother using a spell so she isn't recognised and the glass slipper would only fit her foot because it's magical. Similar to Kit (King In Training), in The Little Mermaid remake they give Prince Eric more depth which helps you understand why Ariel falls in love with him. Furthermore, in this one the stepmother is given more characterisation in comparison to the animated film, to show that Lady Tremaine is what Cinderella could have turned out like if she had become bitter and spiteful like her. One detail not many people notice (or hear) is when Cinderella's father comes out of his wife's room at the beginning and he whispers to the doctor "Thank you. That must have been very difficult for you", the same thing Cinderella says to the man who comes to bring the news of her father's death. There's no question as to why she was so kind—she was raised that way. The ball gown was made with more than a dozen fine layers of fabric, a corset and a petticoat. 9 versions of the gown were designed, each with more than 270 yards of fabric and 10,000 crystals placed one-by-one. It took 18 tailors and 500 hours to make each dress. Additionally, it took 16 people and 550 hours to complete the silk-organza, hand-painted wedding dress. When the crew were photographing Lily James in the dress she stood too close to an electric heater and it caught on fire. The top layer had to be redone because only one wedding dress was created due to time and budget constraints. Also, Lily James said that the iconic glass slippers actually didn't fit her, so instead they were added into the film via CGI. There was much controversy over whether Lily James' waist was photoshopped or if CGI was used, since it seemed to be impossibly thin. But her waist was already naturally smaller and for every dress she had to wear a corset, even during the dance, which made her waist look unnaturally thin. When in costume, the tight pants made Richard Madden's bulge stick out. As this film is supposed to be family friendly, several methods were used to try and hide his genitalia such as having him try on several jock straps. One of the straps was apparently so tight that he actually teared up in pain. And I'm sure the lighting helped but his eyes really are insanely blue! Sir Kenneth Branagh directed this film — He also directed Thor which stars Stellan Skarsgård (the Grand Duke), Mary Shelley's Frankenstein which stars himself and Helena Bonham Carter, the Hercule Poirot remakes which stars himself, several Shakespeare adaptions and more. You might know him best though as Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Of course Helena Bonham Carter would later star in the Harry Potter films. She and Kenneth Branagh had an affair in the 90s while he was still married to Emma Thompson (also in Harry Potter). The "I'm your Hairy Dogfather" line is no doubt an intentional reference to Sirius Black (hairy dog/Harry's godfather). Emma Watson was in talks to star as Cinderella but a deal could not be worked out with Disney. She eventually got her chance to star as a Disney princess when she was cast as Belle in Beauty and the Beast. Also, Lily James originally auditioned for the role of Anastasia (one of the stepsisters) before being cast as Cinderella. Cate Blanchett revealed a moment in which she didn't feel in character as Lady Tremaine was the ballroom scene — She just wanted to cry because it was so beautiful. When Kit wraps his hand around Cinderella's waist before the dance, she briefly gasps — This was a real reaction from Lily James as she was nervous and excited to start the scene. The reactions from the ball guests watching Cinderella and Kit dance were real because the extras were not present to watch the actors during rehearsals. Lastly, in the ballroom dance, many of the dress designs are based on the dresses of various Disney princesses: Belle, Aurora, Snow White, Mulan, Ariel and Tiana (The Princess and the Frog).

New Marshmellow here! I've been loving rewatching many of these movies with you! It was fun and awesome to watch this for the first time with you! Having grown up watching the original Disney movies, I attempted watching some of the live-action remakes, my first being Aladin, but was greatly disappointed...I give credit to Will Smith for his Genie, but for me, Robin Williams WAS Genie, so it just didn't hit the same.
