No deleted scenes on the Blu-Ray. Click here.

Sadly not as many bonus features as there should be, including deleted scenes. Since it's not official yet, maybe there's some hope more bonus features will be revealed.

The French member here Disney Analysis said the nicer stepsister called her Cendrillon which was a mix of "cendre" (cinder) and "souillon" (slattern). Dictionary.com's first definition for slattern is "a slovenly, untidy woman or girl." It makes sense the elder stepsister would call her Cinderass but the younger, nicer stepsister would call her Cinderuntidygirl.

Why on earth didnt they start the credits off on HBC's magical version of 'Bibbidi Bobbidi' ? The song they did go into was dire …. kind of stops the magic rather abruptly at the end of the film for me.

It didn't come as a surprise, considering how Disney has treated their releases. But it's still a huge pity. Won't it include "Frozen Fever" either?

The fact that the special features only contain 4 featurettes just tells me that it (hopefully) isn't the complete list.

Alice in Wonderland had 3 featurettes, including sneak peeks.

Oz: The Great and Powerful had 8 featurettes, including bloopers and sneak peeks.

Maleficent had 7 featurettes, including deleted scenes and sneak peeks.

Into The Woods had 7 featurettes, including a never-before-seen song and sneak peeks.

There has to be more featurettes than what was listed for the upcoming home media release. Where's the deleted scenes? Where's Kenneth Branagh's commentary? Where's the Frozen Fever short that was attached to the film? Where's the sneak peeks? I don't understand why Disney would give Cinderella an almost bare-bones release.

Saving Frozen Fever for its own Blu release maybe, a la the Toy Story Toons ?

I actually liked 'Strong'.

I like "Strong" too!

So today I saw the film for my fourth and probably final time in theaters. It was extra special because my mom wanted to take me and see it with me. I was delighted when she liked it very much! I loved the movie just as ever, if not even more!

This time, though, it looked like the glass of the coach turned to the orange skin of the pumpkin. So I may have to watch it over and over on home video to tell, but it seems they forgot the glass came from the greenhouse. Oh, well. It's still magical.

This time I also realized, people complained and made fun that this film removed all the positive messages for girls that Frozen had. But in that film, Anna saves Elsa. The co-star gets saved by her other co-star. In Cinderella, both this live-action film and the original Disney animated classic, Cinderella saves the mice, and they save her back. Plus in this live-action film Cinderella did what she thought was saving the prince.

I must admit, it still doesn't give Cinderella the independence Elsa displayed from "Let it Go" and onward, and Cinderella probably should have tried to get out of that room, especially if she was left to die, but at least it shows her saving others and getting saved in return really isn't a bad thing at all.

I have two important pieces of information to share with you all!

1) In an interview with http://www.collider.com, director Kenneth Branagh revealed some interesting information about the upcoming home media release and the original time-length of the film.

COLLIDER:How long was your first cut of Cinderella, and are there a lot of deleted scenes that we'll see on the Blu-ray?

BRANAGH: You'll see probably half a dozen deleted scenes. We were probably at two and a half hours, with the assembly cut, but that was just everything. Most of that was really to do with additional traveling and things. There were some very interesting scenes, but this was not one where you feel like you're killing your darlings, as they say. It was more of a refinement of the various flavors in the piece. The editing process was really natural. We didn't do any additional photography on this movie, which is highly unusual for something like this. I'm not saying that there was any perfect world going on, but simply that it had a natural, clear momentum that was understood fairly well on the page and understood pretty well in execution, and that seemed to follow relatively directly, in post-production.

2) According to several major Australian home media outlets, it appears that Cinderella will be released on DVD, Blu-ray and Digital HD on June 24, 2015.

Kinda disapointed by the small number of bonus features. I hope more will be added.

God, everything has to be compared to that film... After 'Let It Go', she was conquered again by her fear. Elsa simply illuded herself.

And I'm sorry, but there wasn't a way out of the attic.

Old Fish Tale wrote:God, everything has to be compared to that film...

Yeah, everything is getting compared to "Frozen". It's logical, because of it's success. No offense to people who loves the film.

True. She made a snowman to get rid of her sister. And she acted like a passive vitcim to the very end. Yes, Elsa had her reasons to do so, but still.

Or maybe the inevitable two-disc deluxe special edition Blu-Ray of Frozen.

Oh, that would be awesome if Disney did that. But I doubt it will happen.

I guess no one read my post?

jPod wrote:I guess no one read my post?

Just read it! Thank you so much! All I have to say is Jesus! 2 and a half hours? I guess that was just the rough cut. What did he mean by additional traveling?

I wonder which deleted scenes will be included? For instance, all that stuff with 5 year old Ella. Are they just going to pretend she didn't exist? Haha. I'm also curious about the "What on earth have you been doing?" "Dreaming, that's all" scene that were in the commercials but weren't in the novelizations. Must've been something that was added after the script was written but filming was still going on.

I just compared it to Frozen because of the people saying this Cinderella film undid the lessons learned in Frozen.

I would like to see important or interesting deleted scenes on the Blu-ray, but if there's so many I don't need to see them all. But like you guys I would like to see the ones from the trailer of Ella at five years old and of her at sixteen/eighteen saying "Just dreaming that's all" and Lady Tremaine saying "Well wake up!"

What I most want to see is the artwork for it. Like the designs shown at D23 of the carriage and Cinderella's dress that someone said were "very ornate".

Disney Duster wrote:I just compared it to Frozen because of the people saying the film undid the lessons learned in Frozen.

Well, that film is very misunderstood.

Oh, I meant that people said this Cinderella film undid the lessons learned in Frozen. You think Frozen is misunderstood? I'm interested.

I guess it would depend on the complaints themselves. Maybe they were referring to how Elsa attempts to escape her horrible life/believes she deserves to be happy, whereas Cinderella (and many other female fairy tale characters) endures hell for...vague reasons? Of course, that's as difficult to change about "Cinderella" as her being saved by her marriage/prince at the end.
