Surprisingly engaging. Just as the first act starts to drag ... well rather, shortly after
the dragging of the first act, Cinderella arrives at the ball -- and cinematic magic
happens. It's simply a beautiful beautiful scene that took my breath away. And I'm a
grown man!
Yes, I had some issues with the pace of the first act, and I would have preferred that
the evil stepmother be developed beyond the rather flat character we've always
known her to be, but I am very grateful for the beautiful moments in this film.
