The new Cinderella movie by Sony Pictures and Amazon Studios retells beloved famous fairytale with a few changes and songs in all kinds of genres such as pop rock, classic and thoroughly loved  watching this modern rendition of cinnderella.

The makers’ have also added quite a few new characters to convey their important message about women empowerment, chasing your dreams, racism, and gender fluidity, such as Princess Gwendolyn, sister to Prince Robert and a brilliantly deserving queen-in-the-making; Queen Beatrice, mother to Prince Robert and a strong lady not afraid to stand up for herself; and Queen Tatiana, who gives Ella her break as a dressmaker.

Unlike many movies with white-dominated casts, I loved that Cinderella has black actors playing various important roles, such as Ella’s gender-fluid Fabulous Godparent (played by Billy Porter) and Queen Tatiana (played by Beverley Knight); the presence of a confident bald princess in the main ball scene also depicts the makers’ efforts towards acceptance of baldness in society and reiterates that baldness can be beautiful too.

Among the many changes, I really liked that Idina Menzel’s character Vivian, cynical stepmother to Ella, got her happy ending too as she was a talented pianist whose dreams were snuffed out by patriarchal society, only to be reawakened by Ella’s encouragement at the end. James Corben, with 2 other comedians, adds laughter to the mix with his role of James, the mouse; the scene where the trio of mice explore their humanity as footmen outside the palace alludes to the makers’ attention to detail as it’s only natural for newly-transformed mice to be curious about their new forms, an instance missing from 2015’s Cinderella, with the mice, lizards and the goose.
