Cinderella.

Kindness can be a form of courage.

After losing her parents, Ella is treated as a servant by her stepfamily. A chance encounter and help from a fairy godmother allow her to attend a royal ball, where she hopes to be seen for herself.

Why it’s a little special

Lavish costumes and warm performances give the familiar story room to breathe. Ella's steady kindness provides an inviting focus beyond the transformation and palace romance.

PG
Parental guidance suggested

US film rating

Both parents die, and a stepfamily repeatedly humiliates and exploits Ella. Grief, confinement and a dying king create emotional tension, with little graphic violence.

Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
