Cinderella is a 2021 romantic comedy jukebox musical film based on the fairy tale of the same name by Charles Perrault.

Written and directed by Kay Cannon, it stars singer Camila Cabello as the title character in her acting debut, alongside Nicholas Galitzine, Idina Menzel, Minnie Driver, Billy Porter and Pierce Brosnan.

[2] Development began in April 2019, when Sony Pictures announced a musical-style film of Cinderella, with Cannon writing and directing.

Cinderella was released in select theaters and digitally on Amazon Prime Video on September 3, 2021[3] to mixed reviews from critics.

The next day, Vivian reveals her own bitter story, trying to make Ella understand that going off to pursue one's personal dreams is incompatible with love and marriage.

Seeing the remaining glass slipper in Ella's room, she realizes she is the mystery girl the prince has been seeking, so she tries to convince her to marry Robert.

With the help of Queen Beatrice, King Rowan accepts that Robert wishes to marry a commoner, giving him the glass slipper as he searches for Ella.

The pair reach the market in time to show her designs to her benefactor, Tatiana, who accepts them and invites Ella to travel with her.

[4] The idea to reinterpret "Cinderella" came from James Corden, who produced the film through Fulwell 73 with Leo Pearlman, Jonathan Kadin, and Shannon McIntosh.

[5] In October 2019, it was announced that talks were underway with Idina Menzel as Cinderella's stepmother,[6] and Billy Porter for the role of fairy godparent.

[20] On August 9, Japanese shoes brand Onitsuka Tiger announced the release of a limited edition sneakers created in collaboration with Cinderella.

[24][25] Samba TV reported that 1.1 million American households streamed the film over its first four days of release, while Amazon claimed it was the most-watched VOD title over the same frame.

The website's critics consensus reads, "This singalong-worthy Cinderella sprinkles some modern fairy dust on the oft-told tale, but flat performances and clunky dialogue make watching often feel like a chore.
