Is it about love or family drama?

Rating: 9/10 (26 September 2012)

When I was a young girl, I've always dreamed to become Cinderella and wear that wonderful sliver-blue gown. Cinderella has taught that if you keep on believing, your dreams will come true. Sadly, I've stopped believing and started to work on my dreams. It's a great movie, but the message is wearing off now a days.
Let's talk about the main question... Cinderella gets to go into this exciting ball that was hosted by prince charming. Charming caught his eye one the girl in the sliver-blue dress and fell in love instantly. Sorry Charming, it doesn't work that way. And Cinderella fell in love too. The prince is braindead. He has no personality! He just has charm! He barley knew about the girl and he wants to marry her, but then he has every girl try on the glass slipper to find who is the girl charming danced with. Like are you kidding me! He's so braindead: what if a 50 year old woman fits into the glass slipper?? Charming is definitely going to regret that dance with Cinderella!
Now I'm going to stop blabbing about how ignorant Prince Charming is and move on to the Tremaine family. So, Cinderella's real mom died, her father married Lady Tremaine. This new family is actually courteous and kind to Cinderella and her father. Well that changes years later. 4 ladies with a black cat and adorable mice. So Lady Tremaine and her daughter showed their true colors to poor Cinderella and they start to treat her like crap! What an exciting story so far! Why would a mother (well stepmother) treat someone in the family like crap? Doesn's she know it's child abuse? It's just so cruel of her! Cinderella just believes in her dream of falling in love with a bland prince and living happily ever after, but no. Family comes first! Cinderella is a movie about family disputes and how a family should not be! I wonder how the Tremaines will survive in the 21st century with all of these abuse prevention laws and the loads of security. But it's just family drama and Cindy is left behind.
Sorry for my long, torturous paragraphs. I didn't realize it would take me this long to make my points. Otherwise Cinderella is a wonderful classic with the songs, drawings of the characters and the animals. I'm glad that I grew up with it. You have to wait for Cinderella 3 for Prince Charming to have a personality!
