And we’re back! It’s good to have a full-length movie to review. And there is a princess! Cinderella is great, similar to Snow White, but an improvement. Prince Charming is ok. Bruno, Fairy Godmother, Gus, and Jaq do their part to get Cinderella where she needs to be. Anastasia, Drizella, Lady Tremaine, and Lucifer are all nasty villains. The music is sweet and fun. “Bibbidi-Bobbidy-Boo” is a classic anyone can sing along to, and “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes” is what Disney is all about.

After a long spell of movies that were good but not great, Cinderella really gets things moving again. This is probably a lot of people’s favorite Disney movie. And the term “Cinderella” means so much to the Men’s NCAA Tournament. So with all that going for it, expect this movie to do well in the bracket; Cinderella will definitely crash the party and be around well after midnight!
