Aw, that's sweet carolinakid. Anyway you can provide a pic or a link of the sweatshirt?

Perhaps, it's a case that ideologically, the 2015 Disney live action movie is sound; it's ostensible flaw, being that it needed more pomp and festival essence (not too unlike The Grinch, starring Jim Carrey).
The 2015 drama is my favorite, because with its release I'm able to connect my history of mental illness.

Is there a good adaptation of the Grimm version besides Into the Woods?

[Disney Duster]

Not that I have ever found. Closest thing would be this German 1989 one, but it is not good, it sucks, it's just the least sucky and most "Grimm" I have found. Maybe there is a better one somewhere, but it would not be to my knowledge, and if there really was a good Grimm Cinderella film, I think I would have been made aware of it by now.

Thank you

Unfortunately that movie doesn't look very good.

By the way I watched The Slipper and the Rose and I can't say that I liked it. The movie is too long for this story and most of it doesn't even seem to be about Cinderella.

[Disney Duster]

Thank you for your interest.

It is ok with me you didn't like The Slipper and the Rose. It was made too much about the Prince and the King's affairs. That was the reason the Sherman's did it, to tell the Prince's story to differentiate it from the "perfect" Disney and Rodgers and Hammerstein versions. I thank you for giving it a watch though. I personally love it, but that doesn't mean I think it's great. I think it's good, not great. I really love most of all the Fairy Godmother, Stepmother, and 18th century designs, plus "Once I Was Loved", "Suddenly It Happens" and "Tell Him Anything (But Not That I Love Him)".

Not sure if it was mentioned before, but another Cinderella movie to add to the list is FIRST LOVE (1939). Very sweet movie!

[Disney Duster]

I've been planning to include that movie in my next ranking compilation. It actually is pretty sweet.

Is anyone going to watch The Ugly Stepsister?

Thank you for bringing that to my attention, Farerb! I should check it out! I will probably catch it on a streamer if I can. It's interesting, there were two movie said to be in the works, that I believe were both comedies about the ugly stepsisters. They either did not happen or have not yet. The trailer also reminds me of Cinderella's Revenge, which was one stinker of a movie. But this film got praise, looks more sophisticated and well, better, and it already tugs at your emotions in giving a sympathetic side to the stepsisters who were sad that a girl they knew may have gotten her due by being prettier than them. The stepsisters in the Grimm version were beautiful, not ugly, so this film seems to be stepping foot in both the Perrault, Grimm's, and just well-known versions of the tale.
