>>6234681Such a shame because I felt that the LA Cinderella set itself apart and was a genuinely sweet movie. It didn't feel clunky like Maleficent or Alice. These stories are light as a feather and in my opinion too much tampering can undermine the magic. That's why Cinderella worked so well, it was the story we all loved but some of the smaller details got expanded upon. We get to know her mother and father better, Ella and the prince meet before the ball and establish that romantic link, instead of rushing the prince to marry just because he wants grandchildren the king's health is declining and he wants to be sure their kingdom will be secure after he is gone. Not to mention all of the costumes and settings were superb. I know people complained about Ella's doll but I think she's cute, especially compared to the dumpster fire thats this Belle doll.
Fingers crossed that they do something similar for Little Mermaid and Aladin. I want to be excited for them and I would love a beautiful LA Jasmine doll.
