Recently a timeless classic began to show in theaters and heart strings were immediately pulled.

Cinderella hit the screens on March 13, 2015 and viewers of all ages are grabbing a bag of popcorn and a box of tissues to enjoy this inspirational, nostalgic, remastered-masterpiece.

Along with stunning costumes and breathtaking graphics, the beautiful cast ties together this movie. It stars: Lily James as Cinderella, Cate Blanchett as Lady Tremaine (Cinderella’s stepmother), Helena Bonham Carter as the Narrator/Fairy Godmother, and Richard Madden as Prince Charming.

The story of young Ella losing her parents and being subjected to being a servant for her evil stepmother and stepsisters inspires us all to make due what we have and to not lose hope.

This movie allows us to relive our childhoods by watching  this remade classic and to also share it with younger generations. However, most importantly, Cinderella teaches us to “have courage and be kind.”
