Kenneth Branagh’s live-action adaptation of Cinderalla for Disney appears to be a straight-up old fashioned retelling, which is actually kind of refreshing given the current state of darker, grimmer fairy tale adaptations told from various “fresh” perspectives. There’s nothing really new here, except what will probably be a commanding performance from Cate Blanchett as the wicked step-mother. The most disconcerting thing about it, though, is seeing Richard Madden as a handsome, clean-shaven prince.

Don’t fall into the Marsden trap, Robb!
