#I'mNotDavidNorMargaret, Film Reviews My Way 2015


What are Disney up to? Cross Promotion during CINDERELLA last night was worse than Sunrise or the Today show with a whole mini feature on their Frozen Fever film. Yes Disney are now the kings of cross promo. Use their sure fire hit Frozen to lure children and Frozen fans into a session of Cinderella with the promise of an exclusive Frozen moment. Oh boy.

But I am not 100% pissed at Disney because a little fairytale and romance was just what the doctor ordered pre Easter.



With Easter/School Holiday films really a poor spread this year Disney is aiming at old fans of this tale (if we didn't get enough during Into the Woods that is) and young girls wanting a fantasy life.

It's hard taking on this role after Anna Kendrick is just a tour de force (can sing, can act and can dance - TRIPLE Threat!) but Lily James is pleasant enough.

I can't go on any further without mentioning my favourite Jasmine, oops I mean Cate Blanchett. What a vision and the costumes in this feature were magnificent! Cate was just simply sublime as the evil step mother. The daughters so so but Cate, just fabulous.

Overall Cinderella is not the best film (nor the worst) this Easter but it's well worth a look (even if your just a Frozen fan and want to hear that new song), I give Cinderella 3 glass slippers, two for Cate and one for bringing the romance.
