Disney+ movie Cinderella - Cast, release date, plot, and how to watch
DISNEY premiered the live-action version of Cinderella more than 40 years after the original animation was released.
The cast of Cinderella's 1997 remake boasted a star-studded cast, which audiences got to revisit when the film was made available on the Disney+ streaming service.
Who's in the cast of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella?
Disney classic Cinderella originally debuted in 1950 as an animated musical fantasy film.
47 years later, Robert Iscove and Robert L. Freedman re-adapted and modernized the script to "appeal to more contemporary audiences by updating its themes, particularly re-writing its main character into a stronger heroine."
The result was a live-action remake titled Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella.
The made-for-TV movie featured a highly-decorated cast full of recognizable stars.
