Just Saw Cinderella

And it was fabulous. My sister won free tickets to a sneak preview showing but couldn't make it so I got to go. Ella was beautiful and Kit was so handsome! Look for the hidden Mickeys in the movie.

I also loved the Frozen short. Pure marketing genius - I want a baby snowman!

Great! Thanks for the review - I am so excited to see it as soon as it comes out in theaters!

Nice! It's gonna be a good Friday the 13th.

In most places the midnight shows late Friday have turned into Thursday night shows. Where I live in Central PA my wife and I are going to a 7pm Thursday show.

Very interesting development: If you have looked at the pictures and trailers, have you noticed anything different from traditional movies set in this period? The diversity! It isn't just a little bit, that ballroom is full of people from, apparently, all over the world as many different ethnicities are represented. Black, Asian, Hispanic, possibly others, and different sizes. Maybe Mulan is attending the wedding!? (I can't wait to find out the Easter eggs.) What is cool is that this has nothing to do with the story, it isn't a theme or "message" it just is. The prince calls all maidens to the ball and all come from many backgrounds. Like BH6, this is the best way to do diversity. Don't preach, just do. Here is Whoopi Goldberg on The View interviewing Kenneth Branagh and saying how much she LOVED Cinderella and how the diversity was presented! http://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwtv/videoplay.cfm?colid=941364#.VPsRWSwtHIU

Sorry, forgot where I was. I edited to remove all the stuff on reviews and moved that to the other Cinderella thread. I left the original comment and the item about diversity because it is very interesting.
