Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister

This made-for-TV movie was based off of a book called Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister. The book was a remake of the Cinderella story but from the perspective one of the stepsisters. 

The movie was not my favorite version of Cinderella but it is meant to be different. I still want to read the book! 

Cinderella (Live Action)

In the past few years, Disney has been taking their animated movies and re-telling them as live action movies. I personally love how they have been turning out. They almost feel like a more mature story - while I loved Cinderella the animation when I was a child, I connect with the live action version now. Nostalgia is a big thing with us nearly 30 year olds right now and we are constantly revisiting different things we loved in our youth so this is right up my alley. 

We loved it and we simply cannot wait until next year when the Beauty and the Beast Live Action comes out. Squee! 

Cinderella 3: A Twist in Time

In Cinderella 3, we have more of a story. This one is all about what would happen if the slipper did fit one of Cinderella's stepsisters instead. 

I did enjoy this sequel and found the story to be a nice twist. 

Cinderella 2: Dreams Come True

Next up is the first sequel to Cinderella, which is basically another one of those short story compilations similar to what they did for Atlantis and Cars and Beauty and the Beast in some of their sequels. 

For being such a big Cinderella fan, I wasn't impressed with this. The stories didn't flow or make much sense with the overall fairy tale. 

Cinderella

Get ready because it is time for my childhood favorite - Cinderella! I loved this movie as a kid and would watch it over and over and over. The songs were upbeat and there was magic and shoes and funny mice. So fun! 

This is a classic and I enjoyed introducing it to my son. He thought the mice were hilarious.
