But her two stepsisters, Anastasia ( Maddie Baillio) and Drizella (Charlotte Spencer), are more clueless than mean. Her widowed stepmother ( Idina Menzel) is cruel, keeping Ella in the basement doing the family's chores and sewing with her three mice friends. In this musical version of CINDERELLA, Camila Cabello plays the titular orphaned main character.
NEW CINDERELLA MOVIE MOVIE
Why not just let it be a fun, inclusive kids movie without these weirdly sexual themes and “I want to have his baby” topics?!?
Also a heads up for anyone thinking about buying the soundtrack, the remixed version of “Dream Girl” has the word “Damn” in the lyrics very obviously placed. So unnecessary to include here, very disappointed. Has forced me into a conversation with her about it that I would have much preferred to wait a couple years at least to have. I trusted common sense media’s opinion here and now my 7y/o is fascinated with that particular line and will no doubt be discussing it with friends at school tomorrow. In what world is that an appropriate subject matter for 5,6,7,8, 9 year olds?! I wanted to love it for its feminist undertone and LGBTQ+ inclusivity, but in some ways it really just missed the mark there - and I certainly wouldn’t recommend it for under 10 year olds due to some of the sex-related themes. I’m shocked that no other parents are mentioning the highlighted line in their version of “What a Man” where the young ladies sing “I want to have his baby” about the prince. Supporting characters include people of all shapes, colors, and sizes, but the main cast isn't notably diverse, and there's one comment about a man who uses a cane not because he needs it but because "chicks dig it." The musical numbers are mostly pop covers, and the all-star cast includes Billy Porter (as the Fabulous Godmother), Pierce Brosnan, Idina Menzel, Minnie Driver, Nicholas Galitzine, Maddie Baillio, James Corden, and more. While several unkind things are said (language includes "hell," "jerk," "idiot," and "mama's boy"), there's no violence. The romance is limited to flirting, dancing, and a climactic kiss, but there are a few suggestive jokes that tweens are likely to pick up on, like when a woman says that the prince doesn't have a lot to work with upstairs and likely "anywhere else," or when a creepy neighbor thanks Ella's stepmother for the mental image that her "blossoming daughters" have given him for the day.
From writer-director Kay Cannon, this version has more of a girl empowerment spin than other takes on the story (it is decidedly not about a damsel in distress), as well as themes of perseverance and empathy. Parents need to know that Cinderella is a musical romcom retelling of the classic fairy tale, starring Camila Cabello as main character Ella.
