Cinderella
Saw this, the Kenneth Brannagh Disney remake tonight, and I liked it. It was rich in color, subtle in presentation, and altogether beautiful in execution. It made a lump come to my throat on more than one occasion, and left me feeling happy - surely the measure of a successful bit of film making? The film has been criticised for it's stereotypical presentation of the heroine as a sweet innocent, rather than executing her as a more forcefull figure in controll of her own destiny [ala the heroine of 'Frozen'] - but I had no problem with that. In her own quiet way Cinderella does indeed exert the influence that pushes the story to it's happy conclusion and I think it's enough. She is not made smaller by her innocence and goodness - rather she rises above others, both male and female alike, who exhibit less favorable charachteristics.
