I felt the story of Cinderella was was beautifully done. The acting was just as it should be for a fairy tale. The colours and the magic vibrant. The actors and actresses played their parts wonderfully.
Taking a story and making it into a movie most times is difficult. How we have interpreted the story can be very different from what the director envisioned.
As a lover of all fairy tales I enjoyed the movie. I believe all little girls and even grown ups like me can appreciate how well they did with the movie.
All in all it was well done.
