Behind The Scenes: The Cinderella Legacy!

Cinderella at the Ball

Walt Disney’s animated classic Cinderella is one of the most loved movies of all time, so making a live-action version of the version has to be considered something of a risk – even if Disney’s Maleficent and Into The Woods turned out to be hits.

Walt Disney’s Cinderella will be in theaters on March 13th.
