*BEST DISNEY ADAPTATION!?* Cinderella (2015) | First Time Watching | (reaction/commentary/review) 

Richard Madden's eyes are actually naturally that blue. He wasn't wearing contacts. Which is stunning in itself.

Probably the only live action Disney that actually lived up to the original so far

I just got fired from my job, and I’ve been crying all day, but my favorite reactor watching my favorite Disney live action just healed my soul

I love when Lady Tremaine didn’t even finish her words at the end when she said “Because you are young, innocent, good and I..” she’s speechless because there is that burning guilt within her about everything that she did to Ella, that was caused from all the trauma she had dealt with. She knew she doesn’t have a decent excuse for what she has done to her, and I just like that detail that she tries to explain but she couldn’t, she’s evil but in a more realistically human way in this version of the film

"she probably danced with her dad like this" 😭 my favorite movie! it's so inspiring & encouraging. i'm giddy the *entire time* 🖤✨

This is the best live-action from Disney for me. Everything after this Cinderella felt like a quick cash grab instead of a classy, well-cared for retelling. Lily James and the actor who played her father in this made me cry so much the first few times I watched this. Their relationship was beautifully portrayed in so little time.

This movie is a masterpiece. Perfectly cast. Perfectly costumed. Just absolute magic.

Just fyi Richard Madden’s eyes are really blue, but director Kenneth Branagh has a thing for playing with light so usually his favorite characters in his movies have THE most blue eyes ever. He likes to emphasize blues in his movies too

I love that no matter how evil they were to her and how unfairly she was being treated in her life, she NEVER gave in to revenge or even thought ill of them. Her heart remained beautiful and pure. Her parents would have been so proud of her🥹 When she was talking to the stepmonster in the attic in the end, and she said ”Why are you so cruel?”, even then there was no trace of revenge in that question. Only her trying to understand how someone can choose to be so cruel, because in her world there’s absolutely no logic in that. But it’s like what a friend of mine once said: It’s good that you don’t understand (how they can be so cruel to you), because the day you understand them is the day you have become the same. And the ”I forgive you” in the end, she’s so full of poise in that moment. What a graceful mic drop! 😌🙌🏼 Wow this comment is long now haha sorry, but just wanna say that your reactions is always so wholesome and lovely. Thank you for creating such a cozy corner on the internet! 🙏🏼

There is nothing I love more than a man who becomes emotionally invested in a great love story. Well done!

OMG! I actually never noticed that the fairy godmother appeared pretty much like the enchantress in the Beauty and the Beast, testing their users and their intentions of heart, to see if they're worthy of their magic. I want to think they made this to build up some kind of consistency or universal rule within their Disney magical universe, sounds really nice.

In my opinion, this is the best life action version. Terrific acting and it doesn't change a story that much but just goes in a little deeper. Super sweet story!

One thing that really stood out to me was how excited everyone was to be there. In the Blu-Ray there’s a whole thing in the bonus features about filming the ball, and everyone there was just so excited to be a part of it. No ‘updating it for a modern audience’, no stress trying to meet a deadline, just a bunch of people having a good time and doing everything they could to make the best movie possible. And that attitude really shows in the final product, which is always such a delight to watch.

This is one of the best Disney remakes! Fun fact: The gown Cinderella wore to the ball is thought to have cost $12,000 to make. The outer skirts were made of a fabric called yumissima, a very light, floaty, and very expensive synthetic material. Also: I'd be thrilled if you'd check out yet another version of Cinderella: there's one that stars Brandy, Whoopi Goldberg, Bernadette Peters, and the late great Whitney Houston. Look that one up! It's more a musical, but it's always been a favorite of mine!

This is my very favorite Disney live-action remake. I’m so glad you watched it! Another remake of the Cinderella story that is good is Ever After, which was made in 1998 and stars Drew Barrymore.

The Prince, Richard Madden as Kit those are his natural blue eyes! In Disney's original Cinderella her eyes were blue and her Prince Charming's eyes were brown. In this film it is reversed and Lily James eyes are brown for Cinderella.

Most of the live action remakes of old Disney movies have been REALLY BAD, but there are some others that has been good, like "Alice in Wonderland (2010)", "Maleficent (2014), Dumbo (2019), and "Cruella (2021)." And this one too of course. 😊💖🔥⭐️

When I was a child I used to have all sort of records of fairy tales. One of them was Cinderella in the original version. I did not know any other till I saw the Disney one much later in my teens. In this one, Cinderella actually planted the branch her father brought back on the grave of her mother, which grew into a small tree, by which she prayed and cried. When it was time for the ball it was the little tree which gifted her (3!) dresses for all three nights of the ball. One like the moon, one like the stars, and one like the sun. I always used to love that version as well. :)

There are lots of things I love about this adaptation. One of them is "Lavenders blue, dilly, dilly" (the song her mom sang) playing when she walks down the stairs at the ball :) It's like her mom is with her in that moment :) Besides that, I love how the characters are presented here. You can see Cinderellas strength with the whole 'have courage, be kind". How difficult that can be. You can see her impact on the prince, who is a well written character himself. I love the little monologue/speech they added with the step - mother, them contrasting different ways to deal with grief with her and Cinderella. And of course the sets, designs, the score... it's a beautiful adaptation :)

This movie is so beautiful and expands greatly upon the 1950 version. I honestly prefer this one to the animated 🥰 Oscar, I think you'd like both Disney's Cinderella III: A Twist in Time and Ever After, which is honestly in my top 3 Cinderella movies of all time! Highly recommend those ♥️

A beautiful adaptation. And a great heartfelt reaction.

Another great reaction! This is such a beautiful adaptation of the tale. The scene with Kit curled up next to his father, looking so vulnerable, breaks my heart every time. It's moments like this that make this a very special film.

I love love love this movie, I watch it whenever my roommate is gone and I have the apartment to myself. I get out the tv, put this on, open a bottle of wine, and then relax! Its one of my favorite things.

So because you mentioned it so many times throughout this commentary, I did just want to let you know that Richard Madden's (Prince Charming) eyes really are that blue. They aren't contacts 😂 Also I'm not sure if you've ever seen Cinderella 3: A Twist in Time but it's honestly my favorite animated Cinderella movie (the prince actually has a personality and he's hilarious)

Fun fact about the ballroom scene: they actually built the ballroom, lit candles for the chandeliers, and held full dances! They held an actual ball and put filming in-between. This was so the extras and the crew could have fun and experience such a magical world through their own eyes and so the ball's energy would feel lively and authentic. Even the behind the scenes are magical, which is why this is one of my comfort movies. It always reminds me, that no matter how hard things are, no matter how lonely I feel, it is better to have courage and be kind.

27:34 this scene is referencing a famous painting known as The Swing (in French as "L'Escarpolette"). The original title is "The Happy Accidents of the Swing" ("Les Hasards heureux de l'escarpolette") and was painted around 1767 by Jean-Honoré Fragonard. Also, Richard Madden does have blue eyes... but not THAT blue (i.e. Frank Sinatra, Paul Newman, Chris Pine and Daniel Craig... 😅).

I've been enjoying your Avatar reactions, and it's even greater to see you watch my favourite Disney live action adaptation. P.S. Those are actually Richard Madden's natural blue eyes! They might've saturated them a bit with effects, but Sandy Powell, the costume designer, specifically colour-coded his outfits so that they would accentuate his eyes :)

I love this film! I would also recommend Ever After if you like Cinderella adaptations, that one has more creative liberties but it's a favorite for many. Also, there are 2 men from GOT here - the prince's guard/assistant guy is no other than Xaro Xhoan Daxos - a guy from Quarth who bled to let Dany into the city.

As much as I adore how sweet, simple, and magical this adaptation is, my favorite version is still Ever After. I hope you'll give it a try someday. I think you would enjoy it, especially Angelica Houston's portrayal of the stepmother: she truly made it unique.

The scene where she is alone with the prince at the ball is the most……… intimate….. scene in any Disney movie I have ever scene. 😂

This is a masterpiece, the whole thing is beautiful, the best Disney princess live action so far, they respected the original but made it make sense for modern audiences while doing their own thing and everything new they added made the story so much better, and that “I FORGIVE YOU”… GOD! That line made this movie so perfect, when watching it for the first time (or any time, it still hits me but in first watch) it really shocked me, cause knowing how hard it is to forgive and seeing Cinderella doing it after all, wow, and the fact they took and Disney allowed the risk to make it end this way, perfect just perfect. This movie along with Alice in wonderland and Maleficent are the best live actions Disney has ever released and sadly they will probably never make something this epic and magical while respecting the source, there are so many powerful lines in this movie it is just amazing how touching they made this story, they really put a lot of heart in this one. ✨loved your reaction 🩵

An incredible masterpiece of a movie. It's completely timeless and actually I think improves on the original. The only disney remake to do so. Lily James is iconic as Cinderella and her chemistry with Marsden is great. But the most magical thing of all in this film is the very much practical blue ballgown. That thing is the most magical item ever created for a film. The pure craftsmanship, the hours that went into it and how it both looks and moves magically all on its own. They made it a smidge darker in post production but other than that there are no visual effects on the dress after the transformation scene is done. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

My absolute FAVORITE live adaption of a Disney animated film and easily in my top all time feel good favorites as well. Thank Kenneth Branagh who directed. Also, Richard Madden really does have very blue eyes, no contacts but possibly light manipulation. Great reaction!

This is one of my favorite adaptations of the live action. And getting to see your reactions to it has been the highlight of my day. Absolutely love just how deep you get into the film(s) you're watching. Fun Fact: in the original story, that branch that touched her father's shoulder was from a willow tree. And she planted it, would visit it everyday and watered it with her tears, till it grew to a strong tree. P.s. loved the "who's that wonderful girl" singing

Hearing your commentary made me realized that watching the cruelty evolve over time made it so much more visceral and makes you connect with the characters more. Love hearing your thoughts at the end, well thought out and talking about the message of the story!

Fun fact! The actress who played Ella actually tried out for the role of one of the evil stepsisters at first! Crazy how that worked out, can't think of her playing as anyone but Cinderella though she is so beautiful and plays cinderellas character so well!

You should also watch "Ever After: A Cinderella Story", best adaptation imho. I love your reactions!

I feel the need to point out Richard Madden's eyes are actually that blue. They may have been enhanced in post, but he definitely has baby blue Disney Prince eyes.

You should definitely watch Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, if you enjoyed this live-action remake you'll love that one as well! It's a 90's musical and the music and cast is **chefs kiss**

Yeah, only magical glass slippers may be comfortable. By the way, in different versions they were made of gold and fur as well (some say that there could be a language-related mistake, but fur shoes are actually much more comfortable than glass, huh? And some kinds of fur are really expensive)

The prince's castle is modeled after the Dresden Zwinger in Germany, a palace complex with gardens that is now used as a museum. By the way: Greetings from Germany! I regularly watch your reactions and it's simply a pleasure! Keep up the good work! :)

The way I gasped when I saw you reacted to this!! 😂😂 I’ve never clicked so fast I cannot overstate how much I LOVE THIS FILM!! Literally everything about it!! A true masterpiece in my opinion… and the way they humanize and give depth to kit is just… 👌🏻 perfection. That moment when they zoom out of that shot with him with his dad just 💔😩 I think one of my favorite things about this one is the way he is just gobsmacked by her, he’s like 👀 this girl is bonkers but damn I need more!! 😂 “lizards and pumpkins” 😂 and the casting, gahhh!! I’m so glad you watched it your reaction was a delight ❤

Richard Madden does have blue eyes

One movie I love is Ella Enchanted, its a beautiful movie with a Cinderella feel to it at the beginning. It has aspects of other Disney Princess movies, but it also has others like Fiona from Shrek.

If you liked this, I think you would like Stardust, too! It's an equally magical movie and while it's slightly different from the original book/comic, it's still a breathtaking film! Also, the two main leads are both extraordinarily cute together and HILARIOUS when interacting. The way they bicker has always been one of my favorite parts of their relationship because it reminds me of my own parents, who have one of those fairytale relationships you see in the stories. It's also got an AMAZING cast and truly the acting is phenomenal!

I don't know if you'll ever see this but I just wanted to say Thank You. I was having a terrible trauma this morning which turned into a panic attack. I was desperately looking for something to calm me down and take my mind off everything that was happening. And I thought of your reactions and how I always look forward to them and how soothing your voice is. So I turned on this reaction, that I had never seen, and it took over my panic and calmed me down. So thank you. I'm drained but calm now. And when I get home from work, I will definitely sit down and rewatch this film. I had forgotten how good it is. It's funny that you keep talking about how kind Ella is when I think you are one of the kindest humans I've ever seen.

My top 3 live action Disney movies are Aladdin, Cinderella and Maleficent. They didn't simply get rid of the original message, they just showed it with another deeper meaning of that same message. Beautiful. Be happy and make someone happy

This is one of the best adaptions of the story of Cinderella I’ve ever seen! The cast were wonderfully talented, and definitely committed to the roles! And I love the extra expansion on not only these characters, but as well as the universe itself. If you’re looking for more Cinderella related films, I highly recommend A Cinderella Story, starring Hilary, Duff, Not the Cinderella Type, Ever After starring Drew Barrymore and Angelica Houston, Nickelodeon’s Rags, as well as the 1997 version of Roger and Hammerstein‘s, Cinderella, starring Whitney Houston and Brandy Norwood. 👩🏼‍🦱🧑🏻🪄🕛👠🦋🩵💙💛🤍

I was around nine or ten when this movie came out, and at the time I was adament that I hated all things "princess or girly" but my sisters dragged me to this movie, and i'm so glad they did. I feel in love with it then, and nine years later I still love it. Ella was such an amazing rolemodel and the movie is a breath of fresh air. I will stand by the argument that this is one of the only good live action remakes disney has made. I really love seeing other people appreciate it as much as I do.

This movie never fails to make me feel happy. It’s definitely the best of all the live actions by a landslide. I have a special attachment to this movie, so if I ever need a serotonin boost, I put this on.

You HAVE to see Brandy and Whitney Houston’s Cinderella! It’s older but it’s so emotional and heartfelt! It’s DEFINITELY the only other Cinderella live action that really captures the heart of it! (Aside from this one)

This movie is pure perfection. I never cared for Cinderella growing up and this movie made me love her.

"look at the way he's going down these steps, mate - he's not desperate" i died laughing🤣

ahh this is my favorite movie ever!! i’m so glad u watched it. i have a tattoo on my back that says “have courage and be kind” what a lovely message to live by

i absolutely ADORE this movie, im so happy you watched and reacted to it💕

This is one of my fave movies glad that you did a reaction video on this 😊 stay cozy

Heck yeah😍😍 My day is saved. I can have the baddest day, but when you upload a new reaction video my world is okay again. ❤

i love how kind and genuine you are!

This live action was very good great casting and storyline like the things they added and changed Abit and giving more intersections between the two Cinderella and the prince showing their bond love grow the chemistry giving the prince a personality an actual character

I wish I could subscribe twice. I just love everything you put out Oscar, watching along with us such a joyful experience ❤

I just watched this with a huge grin on my face and then sobbing. I loved your reaction! Cinderella has always been my favourite fairytale and I felt like this was made for me personally. It was/is perfection. I saw it at the cinema with my daughter and it was magical. Thank you for such a wonderful reaction video. ❤

One of my favorites Disney princess live actions. I think I remember watching this in the cinema yeah it was with my mother,loved it so much. Thx for reacting. Love your videos your reactions and commentary

Your videos Always Make My Day!🤩 I watch these with my 9 year old daughter and She Loves You!🤗💙✨

Just by seeing the cover of the video, I already love it! This movie is one of my comfort movies I watch it almost every month!!

Thanks, Oscar! 💎 I love this faerietale... and this interpretation by Kenneth Branagh is so good.

This is one of my favorite movies ever, it always lifts me up when I need it. I loved your reaction! Probs the best ive seen! Thank you ❤

I love that you watch a variety of different movies and can find something to enjoy about them all. As for this one, it's my favorite live action adaptation from Disney besides Maleficent. It's also my 2nd favorite Cinderella adaptation after Ever After. (I've got a whole list, there are so many Cinderella adaptations lol)

I love your reactions, you are so genuine 🥰💖

I saw this movie in theaters late at night. We all cheered in unison just like you did when the prince showed himself at the end. It's one of my warmest memories as none of us knew each other but all united in happiness.

Took almost 3 minutes, 3 freaking minutes and we got emotional already 😂. This is probably THE ONE AND ONLY Disney live action movie that is well done guys!

I really love seeing your reactions and emotions while watching, they're so genuine!

Hey fella - seen this many times and loved your reactions !! - thankyoy X

Have Courage and Be Kind! yessss my Favorite Reactor watching My favorite Disney

I am so happy you like this movie so much! This is the only live action I've liked, and I'm not afraid to say it's one of my favourite movies of all time! The message is beautiful and everything about it is just pure magic.

THANK YOU I don't even have to watch this yet, this IS the best Disney adaption. It's pure, wholesome, beautiful, and wonderfully cast. Looking forward to watching as soon as I have time.

Richard Madden (aka The Prince) actually has Blue Eyes. I am a new fan of your channel and am looking forward to more of your reactions. Keep up the great work.

You must react to Ever After with Drew Barrymore if you haven’t already seen it, it’s a masterpiece!🫶🏻

Always enjoy your videos, they make my day ^⁠_⁠^ Would love to see you watch Ever After, my personal favorite of the Cinderella stories and one of my favorite movies of all time!

Now you also have to watch the other cinderella adaptation Ever After (1998)

Great reaction, i love this version! I recommend Ever After, too, it's a fantastic Cinderella story, i think you'd really enjoy it.

I would love to see you react to Cinderella 3. It's honestly an incredible sequel that really gives Prince Charming a character, and develops on what you mentioned in this video about there not really being any chemistry between him and Cinderella in the first movie. (Cinderella 2 is not needed at all to understand Cinderella 3)

This one is the best Cinderella! Well, this and the one with the Asian prince, Brandy, Whoopi Goldberg and Victor Garber.

The fact that this was the first live action adaptation is kind of hilarious to me. Because they did everything right; it doesn’t take anything away from the original and improves upon the story. It’s beautiful and joyful and magical. But every adaptation after this is just so lifeless. It’s kind of sad.

It's great to see you discovering how good this movie is. I went to see it with my mom when it first came out, and it was such a magical experience. I always thought the original was a bit boring growing up, but this was my favorite movie for a while for several of the things you mentioned. We had the chance to see some of the costumes from this film in an exhibit a few years ago, and I cannot stress enough how pretty Cinderella's ballgown and glass slippers are in real life. If anything, the sparkle they give off in the movie is understated. For some reason they color corrected it to a really saturated blue, but the real life gown is more silvery like the animated one, with lots of layers that give off various blue and purple shades that shift with the angle. It really does look like magic. So much thought and detail were put into everything from the costumes to the set design to all of the character relationships in this movie, and I think it's one of, if not the best, Disney remake.

Great reaction! This is by far the best of the live actions, imo

Very glad you love this movie just as much as I do ! It truly is a fairytale and I love it

This is one of my favorite movies ever, such a wonderful adaptation! Ever After is another amazing adaptation you should check out!

this and the maleficent movies are my favourite live action adaptations 🥺

Hey, Coca Couch. The Prince is Robb Stark ( Richard Madden) He naturally has blue eyes, yes that blue

Hiii, a new subscriber here! I'm so glad you enjoyed this movie, it's one of my favourites. Can't wait to see more of your reactions. 💕

I LOVE this film so much! I was still surrounded by a lot of abusive people at the time, and eventually I was able to leave. Media like this are what got me through those times: they reminded me to be strong and above all, to still be kind. Another really good adaptation of Cinderella is "Ever After," starring Drew Barrymore and Dougray Scott. It's not much like this version (other than both being Cinderella stories), but I love both equally, each just as much as the other. Loved your reaction as usual, and that message about "if you're kind and love people, you have nothing to fear" warmed my heart 💜

Cinderella became my favorite princess ater watching the thirds Movie of the animated series and this live action. She show us how kindness can make a person strong

38:42 Those are his natural Blue eyes sir!

You have no idea of the chokehold that gown had on girls around the world when this movie came out. 14 year old me was awestruck

This version of Cinderella is just right. The storytelling flows with emotions and beautiful costumes. ❤

I didn't knew this movie was directed by Kenneth Branagh. Now i can't help to see a similarity with 'Much Ado About Nothing' that i think is his best movie with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein' and second place. Really wish you react to those

This is my favorite disney live action!! Cinderella has always been kind of slept on but this movie brought more life to her character. It takes so much in a person to be kind always no matter the sitution. She is an incrediable role model! Because of this movie a part of my daughter's mantra in the morning is " i am brave, i am kind" Cate blanchet does an amazing job as a villian! The meet cute of ella and Kit is swoon worthy 😍 And i love the costumes!! Such a fun watch!

I like you said give her a hug, Thanks . I have ridden in similar Cinderella Couch At my cousin wedding .I had fun and felt like her.

Thanks for reacting to this. It's men like you who prove there's still love and hope in this world for girls who have been hurt a lot.

This is my favorite live action remake, and I'm glad you reacted to it 😊
