2015's Cinderella feels like the only recent live action adaptation that actually had heart behind it. Given that Cinderella is my favorite Disney princess, I really appreciate it.
All of the costumes were stunning. I loved her stepmother wardrobe.
My fav princess as well and I still haven’t seen it 😭. I didn’t like it at first when I saw the trailer and the teaser of the shoe BUT after watching some small clips I am gonna give it a shot cause I did fall in love with the dress after. Not to mention Lily James 😭💕
@@Ashley-ro4xz find a way to see it asap! But don't expect the 1:1 adaptation like the other Disney remakes, they actually put some thought into this one!
The Jungle Book?
@Goku Chichi Nope lol.
The butterflies are on the Disney LA dress because of Ella’s connection and scene with her father in the beginning of the film with a butterfly. So in a way, with the butterflies and the dress having been her mother’s, she is bringing her parents to the ball with her. I find it so sweet.
Nikki Mouse yeah! kind of like she has her parents with her
plus I like the butterflies on the shoes
I appreciate the sentiment behind the butterflies but they just felt super tacky to me. Maybe if they were all silver or less childish.
It is sweet, but I just don't like the way they look. Maybe if she had just one butterfly in her hair or something.
That is really sweet but... I think it still just looks childish
the part about lily's dress thats the best is that it outlines the unrealistic way dresses flow in cartoon, and actually made it real. the dress flows so easily and magically and its color and the way at certain angles it look silver makes it even better.
Absolutely. Except, apparently, it's not unrealistic - just very expensive.
Just that it’s actually real
I love the dress, but I get stressed out watching her dance in it lol. Seems like there’s so much that could easily go wrong
Every costume in 3 Hazelnuts is pure gold. Particularly the step mother's hat.
i also like Dora's dress
That hat is priceless.
Yeah the umbrella
Yes the bat hat...
I found this movie finally on KZhead after all these years. I was so happy haven't seen since I was a kid.
I love the butterflies as she was robbed of her childhood when her mother died, and her childhood was the best time of her life with both her parents, so the butterflies making the dress ‘childish’ makes it even more magical.
@@Phoebe545 yes, I completely agree aha
Yes I love them
I loved the butterflies too
Yes, that is my favorite dress.
The problem is the butterfly appliques look cheap. I don’t mind the butterflies if they had been small crystal butterflies. Or done in an elegant way.
So when she talks about “Into the woods” Cinderella. That movie is based off of the original Brothers Grimm version of Cinderella, and in the story she says “Shake and quiver, little tree, Throw gold and silver down to me.” She wears a gold and silver dress and her shoes are embroidered with silk and silver. So the dress wasn’t supposed so be like the Disney version, but the original telling of the story.
It's a shame they made it look so dark and green though
The Disney dress is based on the Charles Perrault version of the Cinderella fairy tale with a silver and gold dress and glass slippers that was published before the Grimm's version.
@@michaelquelet9603 having studied both the Grimm's and Peraults Donkeyskin, the 1950s was actually based on the Grimm's Brothers. Keep in mind the year it was released, a mere five years after WWII and the war America had with Germany in particular. At that time Americans were trying to distance themselves from Germans. And the Grimm's Brothers were German
@@scorchedroseproductions3266 But in the opening credits of the 1950 animated Disney Cinderella, they say they based it off of the Perrault version! It's the Perrault version.
Thank you, I came to comment this! The glass slipper was definitely never in the original story 😄
Ever After did what no other Cinderella ever could. Capturing magic, without it ever using magic in the movie. This movie is so dear to my heart and I think it's one of the best movies ever.
It feels more like a Cinderella story if it was told from an actual historical event in human history. Having Leonardo DaVinci being the "fairy godmother, as an inventor he crafts Daniel's wings to make her stand out at the masquerade ball. And of course an assertive and proactive Cinderella who earns her prince through being herself and building friendships and alliances like with the one nice stepsister Jacqueline, her friend Gustav, and all sorts of people who events her life.
I feel the same way. True magic comes from the heart. EVER AFTER has my vote everytime.
I’m agree!!❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely. Plus Drew is a real gem in that movie.
AGREED!
Here in Czech Tree nuts is a christmas classic. I love this version for being feminst movie while Cinderella is not waiting for being rescued by prince charming but she is very capable to take care of herself. Also Libuška was (she died for lung cancer recently) one of the nation's sweatheart and very deserved because she was an exceptional actress. She will never be forgotten.
Noo! She died😭😭😭😭 we watch it every christmas here in Norway, there is no christmas Unless we see it, she was😭 so beautiful🙌🏻❤️
@@writingalot9676 She sure was but cancer is ruthless and takes the loved one and good one too :( (or mostly 😭)
In Germany it's also a Christmas classic. For me it's in every sense the best version
Here in Slovakia we also watch it every Christmas and im so sad that Libuška died😭
In Ukraine it’s also a Christmas classic. I used to watch it every year during the winter break as a child and I still keep this tradition ✨
Lily James' dress was stunning. she also did a great job at portraying Cinderella.
She was Amazing as Cinderella!!! The Dress is Beautiful!!!
Unlike Beauty and the beast she felt less like Belle and more like Watching Emma Watson
The Perfect Cinderella 🌟 & the Perfect Prince 🌟
@@Sophie_Pea Preach ! I was just watching Cinderella yesterday, the weather was so dismal. The Ocean relaxes me & Lily’s dress is like breaking Ocean Waves when they dance. 🥰
In my opinion Cinderella is the best live action Disney movie 😊
The Live action Disney Cinderella makes me want to cry. It’s the color of blue morpho butterfly wings and spins with the same joy as a carousel at the fair. Yet Lily James still stands out and looks gorgeous. She’s not washed out by the dress. And that’s really what matters.
I agree. Cinderella is one of my favorite Princesses and I love the original and am so pleased with the live action remake of 2015. It’s beautiful and I feel like it really captures the original magic that Disney created so long ago. And lets not forget the addition of the glitter to her skin. So gorgeous and magical! I don’t even mind it being blue in the live action as it stands out amongst the crowd and if it were silver I think it would have looked like a wedding gown...😊
I thought you meant cry in a negative way at first and I was about to get ready to physically fight you
and the woman that created the gowns won 3 Oscars for costume design. OMG
It's the only Disney adaptation that i believe respects the original and made me gasp like when i saw the animated ones as a child
@@landaflores2881 indeed!!
People from Europe definitely love the Czech version. Libuse Safrankova is the most beatiful Cinderella, even the Disney one actress could not compare. Iconic.
lily james' dress literally make me gasp the moment i saw it, it's simple yet so beautiful and elegant. don't forget her pretty glass shoes as well✨
Lily is not enough beautiful. And the dress looks too big and dramatic on her body. Cinderella is more a barbie girl than a normal girl.
Lily James had the best dress...I lost count of how many times I've watched the ball part just for her dress...
me too 😂
Me too👍😄
It's magical.... Her dress was the best 😉
Same 😍❤
Yes! I NEED to find someone who could remake it for me!!
learning cinderella’s actual dress was silver caught me off guard
Same😔
I thought it was obvious-
Well it might surprise you even more to learn that the color of her dress isn’t the only thing they changed about her colors during the marketing stage. I have no idea why they changed this since I think the original color looks better, but in the original Disney movie her hair isn’t yellow, it’s strawberry blonde.
Also her hair is strawberry blonde
@@croc3537 I didn't know that.....☹️
In the czech version of the film it is mentioned, that cinderellas mother wanted to sew a ball gown for her for her first ball, coming together with a cloak and pink shoes, which resembles the dress she actually wears at the ball. I think that is a very important detail that connects the dress with the storyline of the film. Just wanted to say this because the Czech version is actually my favourite. I watch it every year around Christmas together with my father which is a really important tradition for me
yes so it is basically the only cinderella dress made based on Cinderella's wishes ( quite literaly). it is a dress her mother would have made for her. and an important part is the cloak that makes the effect as someone mentioned here
i actually think that bird on Cinderella's dress in Three hazelnuts for Cinderella is a phoenix - she is always mentioned to be dirty from cleaning ashes, so it seems quite meaningful, as she rises from ashes to better life.
The 1950s Disney Cinderella is without a doubt one of my favourite animated dresses of all time
same it’s so stunning
Same here.
ngl that’s just my favorite movie, period
Dat choker ❤️
Same, but the plot is one of my least favorite.
The reason the dress in “Into the woods” is gold, is because it is based on the “original” fairytale and not the disney movie. In the original story, cinderellas dress and shoes are gold. And she doesn’t lose the shoe accidently, the prince puts tar on the steps to stop her from running 😊
Yeah, I appreciate the fact that it is closer to the original fairytale, if only it were pretty lol.
I think the gold dress is perfect, but it needs a caged crinoline
The original Cinderella was Greek
Gem Rivers The oldest Cinderella-like story’s actually chinese or from a southeastern country
Yes that’s correct!!!
Lily James’ dress is my favorite; the color/s are beautiful and the butterflies are whimsical. But I’ve always really like Brandy’s too. They did a good job copying the animated dress. Cinderella’s dress in the animated version is a one reason she’s my favorite Disney princess.
I totally agree Disney’s cinderella 2015 had the best dress. It was so magical it actually looks like it came from a fairy god mother. The sewn swarovski crystals shows the attention to detail the dress creators had. Truly the best one ever worn by a cinderella character
yes my fav was from 2015
In the Grimm version, Cinderella goes to the ball 3 times. She wears a silver gown, then a gold gown. On the last night, she wears as dress of Crystal's and the prince tars the stairs, hoping to stop her from running off at midnight as usual. Instead, she leaves her shoe behind in the tar.
😂
I had a book with that version (not as gruesome as the original, but including the 3 dresses). I loved the illustrations of the dresses, in mine it was pink, then blue, then gold. I think that's so much nicer than the one-dress version.
I was going to comment the same thing.
I thought the last one was full of pure gold??
@@CreamFilledDonut that sounds familiar. I'll have to dig out my book and check haha
Drew Barrymore and Lily James versions had the best costumes, ballgown dress, and storylines in my opinion. They still take my breath away and make me with I was there, just stunning
I agree. My personal favorites.
I’m gonna include the original Cinderella for me. 🙇♀️ Idk it’s such a timeless look and I absolutely love the story. It’s a classic.
Agreed.
Amen, brother. For real.
AGREED
“Into the Woods” was actually the most accurate of them all. They focused on the Grimm's original Cinderella tale. In the tale, the ball lasted 3 nights, and in each she received a different dress. The golden is very accurate considering the old illustration books. The Into the Woods version is more accurate than Disney version and all of them. (also, the stepsisters cut their toes to fit the crystal shoe, which actually happens in the original tale.)
Disney's is based on Perault's "The Glass Slipper" which predates Grimm by over a century. "Most accurate" my foot.
@@doctor-aesthetic and the glass was likely a mistranslation of a fur slipper. The French words are very similar to eachother.
@@patheticmortal373 It's a common argument, but a very weak one. The original story uses the text "pantoufles de verre" on three separate occasions. The other argument is that in being told the tale, Perrault misheard the storyteller, but even then, "vair" would not have been a common term in the time the story was transcribed. It was a word that had pretty much fallen out of use. It's possible that it was being used to suit the mythological feel of the story, but that's a question that will ultimately never be answered. All we know for sure is that in Perrault's text, he does indeed call them glass slippers.
Actually, about the 3 balls, was in the another Perault's book, which is "donkey skin".
@@emmapierelli1748 I really didn't knew that. I'll look it up, thanks
No other Cinderella's ball gown could beat Drew Barrymore's breathtakingly and dreamy gown. It has its realistic style that fits the era/theme of the movie. And the wings made the gown unique, not too flashy and not too over the top, just the right addition to standout in the crowd. She looks so fairytaley 😍
@LI VE I agree with you. I would put the Lily James gown in the middle somewhere because I didn't think the blue did anything for her complection and neither did her wig. I really loved Brandys dress, but Drew Barrymore was my all-time favorite. It suited her and it suited the story.
Aside from its gorgeousness, what also makes that gown my favorite is the backstory behind it. While I love the 2015 Cinderella version, it drove me NUTS that Ella asked to keep her mother's dress and the Fairy Godmother pretty much turned it into something new anyway.
Lily’s dress is one of the most beautiful dresses ever made, LIKE EVER
I agree!
Yess
yesss!
Lily is a rare beauty, too. Perfect English Rose. Up there with Cate and Kiera and Romola.
Agreed, that dress is absolutely amazing and she looks amazing in it too.
How could they get Cinderella’s dress so right and Belle’s dress so wrong
It's because Emma Watson got to design it herself instead of letting professional costume designer design it.
Daneya Brito I’m still bitter they even casted her!
@@dany9276 It's pretty ironic how she rees over the corset yet has worn and still wears a lot of pink, which is by stereotype a feminine color, which makes third wave feminists ree because any color should be seen as feminine and not just pink because that's a stereotype color for women in fiction and in real life. While at the same time, these third wave feminists wear pink to embrace femininity because they are proud women and who the fuck are you to tell them what color to wear. But pink does suit her, and I like pink. Heck, my wardrobe and house consist mostly pale or pastel pink.
Daneya Brito honestly it still COULDVE looked good without a corset, it was just a bad design
@@uberkirbeeh7954 the reason she refused to wear a corset is bc she believes it promotes unrealistic standards of beauty. Not bc it's femenine.
I'm from Czech republic and I was *raised* on three nuts for Cinderella, no other adaptation of the fairy tale could ever be better in my eyes.
I'm glad that you mentioned the problem about the corset. Honestly, you can see in the movie how much James struggled to breathe 😳
corsets werent this terrible in history, it has a bad reputation but much more from movies than reality
@@Trissana281 exactly! A properly fitted corset should not limit your ability to breath. It served the same purpose that bras do today (albeit they had more structure, and helped with posture). Idk why it’s so hard for movie makers/costumers to properly fit or at least make the corset comfortable.
What Cinderella was that from
@@seanieharvey4519 it was the 2015 live action remake of Cinderella, starring Lily James
Ur so right! I saw it in the theater and fell asleep and I told my friend I’m so sorry I am apparently exhausted, but the last thing I remember was the girl playing Cinderella gasping! 😆
The 2015 Cinderella film had the BEST costumes. I especially loved Cinderella’s ballgown, and all of the stepmother’s outfits😂🤷🏾♀️
Yup me agreed with u
Bruh I fell in love the dress with I literally want one .
ugh the stepmother's outfits were so sharp- she looked like she was ready to kill a man. its disgusting how Cinderella's ballgown makes me want to fall in love and dance in an abandoned castle with the man of my dreams just AHHSBDBSJAKS
@@jules6578 I agree with you too lol, but I guess the "sharpness" of the stepmother's outfits, were supposed to be metaphorical for her bitter personality.
@@theaishateuse5432 yeah, almost like it would be uncomfortable to hug her or be near her
Into the Woods' is based on the original version of fairy tales, where Cinderella's dress is meant to be silver and gold. Maybe the gold was to distance this version from Disney's original Cinderella, idk
I liked that version. Maybe it needed a bit structure, it looked limp in the sitting scene, but it fit the film and I liked the gold color and how it was made.
I think a silver or blue dress would look really weird with that 'slipper as pure as gold.' A gold dress makes sense. Though I can't remember what color she wears on Broadway . . .
The structure really ruined it. It tries to be different, but the flatness makes it look unappealing.
@keltzy i believe the broadway one is a white dress with gold accents? or that might just be in some more recent productions 🤷
Yes, she wears three dresses in that version. The second one is silver and the third one is gold with slippers made out of pure gold. I liked that on the dress too...
Hi, I'm from the Czech Republic. Our Cinderella, which you finally rated as sixth in the ranking, is based on period drawings. The dress is from the Gothic period, so the 12th to 15th century. She has her hair uncovered because she's not married, but once she gets married, she'll have to wear her hair under a bonnet.
The whole style of the film is more like 15th-16th century. A lot of the clothes at the court/ball are very late 15th-early 16th century in style. Cinderella's dress is more fantasy than anything, but with its high waist and simpler silhouette, it's definitely inspired by 15th century styles. And it makes a lot of sense to me as a stylistic choice, because that was a big period in Czech history, with a lot of change, unprecedented level of religious freedom (still limited, but definitely unprecedented), elected non-hereditary kings... The music at the ball also echoes that period to a degree, it's definitely part of what makes it work so well even if you're not consciously aware of it.
The period in which the movie is set is in between 1470 to 1490, likely 1480. The pink dress is NOT period, and the gowns at the ball are a mishmash of that period and maybe like 20 years later, but they are all still from the early Renaissance period. In England, for comparison, it would take place in the Wars of the Roses period, likely at the end of Margaret of Anjou´s and Henry VIth´s period.
The Czech version was and probably is one of the best Christmas movies to this day, well at least in France and Europe. Trois noisettes pour Cendrillon, the movie, the music...so moving and captivating.
I think that it speaks volumes about the quality and a pure magic that is in that movie that despite in being filmed in 1970s during a deep deep communism in Czechoslovakia it still managed to become classic in many European countries - western Europe included.
In the “three nuts to Cinderella” the bird on the back of her dress is a Phoenix- symbolizing her rising from the ashes :)
I never knew that (so cool)
Rising from the "cinder"
That is beautiful!
No! It is the hawk she shoots earlier in the movie. It is a hint to the prince that she is the hunter he meet earlier.
@@LCecilieWian That's such a nice detail! I never even noticed the birds on her dress, and I've watched it every christmas
I’m so happy that she included the Czech version, it’s a tradition to watch it every Christmas😁 I love the movie so so much
Same, i'm from Slovakia and i love Three nuts for Cinderella. I watch it every christmas since i remember.
M M ty jsi ze Slovenska? Já jsem z Česka😁 jsem ráda, že jsme se takhle našli
I love this film, but it's kind of a mishmash where costumes are concerned. I blame communist-era budgeting.
Same I'm from Norway ☺️love that movie!
@@vi_tsuki1873 áno som zo Slovenska, no nečakala som tu niekoho kto by rozumel slovensky, preto píšem komentáre po anglicky
the Lilly James gown hands down. Also all of Cate Blanchett's costuming throughout the entire film. The costume designer on that film should have won every award and some that weren't invented yet!
Agreed!
I know the Czeck Version looks unusual at first, but believe me, it really grows on you! Especially in combination with her pink coat. I admit it can't beat Lily James gown, but it's definitely in second place for me.
I love how Brandy's moves like the original dress. The way it spins and even trails on the ground is so similar to the original and I love that.
Amd in the right light it starts off looking silver
I totally agree- I was about to say that same thing- brandys more true to the dress an how it’s glittery an silvery she stands out from all the other girls....( an how she’s supposed to)
I couldn't agree more and the color sets the tone it was definitely a beautiful dress 🔥🔥🔥🔥💙💙💙💙💙
Yes I love brandy's
Hands Up it was Brandy!!!
The most significant thing about the dress of the Czech version of Cinderella is actually the cloak she arrives in - at least for me. The soft fabric and the sheer beauty of the actress, combined with the candle lights illuminating everything just make it very romantic and magical. But I do understand, why nostalgia would play a big role in the way one perceives the outfit
Thats exactly how I feel,! The cloak is beautiful
I'm surprised the significance of the bird on the back of the 'Tři oříšky pro Popelku' dress has gone over so many peoples head's. It's a phoenix, a bird that rebirths itself from ashes. who is Cinderella but a girl who rises from literal ashes? that's what her name represents. The Czech dress is genius.
YES
@@bennmordecai6395 Exactly! And in the movie Cinderella (Aschenbrödel) explains that her mother promised her a pink ballgown. So the dress makes perfecly sense in the story (and it looks just too beautiful )
@@atalante1853 Actually her mother promised her dress in the color of the first sun light reflected on the sky at dawn aka redish/pinkish colour

There's just something about Brandy's dress that is unforgettable for me. I loved that movie so much even getting it on VHS as a kid and now owning it on DVD. That dress says Cinderella to me even more than the original Disney version.
@Bill Mikey I wasn't saying that Disney was the original Cinderella, I was saying the original Disney Cinderella as in the Brandy movie was also Disney as was the 2015 version but the first Cinderella that Disney made in 1950 would be the original Disney made.
Disney animated one (silver white not blue!, that’s only in shadows Disney marketing) is my favorite. I didn’t like it that much as a kid since it’s not colorful and very simple. But now O like the simple timelessness.
I always liked how shiny and sparkly it looked thats what 5 year old me liked
Yea same here. I hated it as a kid but now I think it looks.. well... magical
I crushed hard on Cinderella as a kid, and that dress is the most enchanting in the film (although she does look better with the blue bow in her hair in my opinion)
completely agree
So that's why cartoonist draw tacky dress to gain kids attention. Simple dress doesnt atracting kids attention
Ever After is honestly just perfect. The reworking of the story into renaissance social justice Cinderella? Actual relationship development between the girl and the prince, and giving the prince a personality? The gorgeous costumes and sets? The music? FAIRY GODMOTHER LEONARDO DA VINCI? It’s all just beautiful and that scene of Danielle arriving at the ball in her wings dress has been imprinted on my soul since I was like, 6.
I agree. Never mind the dress, which is magical and ethereal without seeming animated and unreal.....I just love this version of the story. The character is full of heart and vulnerability and romance, but can still get angry and fight back and be strong and realistic. The 2015 version is such a sap and a victim I hated it.
My mum rented the movie for us as a rare treat one summer, and we watched it the same day as a solar eclipse... That movie is embedded into my soul as magic
This is one of my favorite films of all time, and I fell HARD for Dougray Scott when I saw this at the impressionable age of 13. Honestly still in love with him lol
yes! the same for me, that whole movie was so beautiful. I have a lot of nostalgia for this film, it was the first movie we ever got that was on DVD. and that scene where she arrives at the masquerade... my goodness, also imprinted on my soul haha
I love this movie so much, and that dress especially. I also love the detail about the dress and shoes belonging to her mother, just gave the whole costume a bit more meaning than something whipped up with magic (particularly important in a version with no magic). There's a reason Drew Barrymore consider Danielle her favourite role.
When I saw Drew Berrymore in that dress when I was a child it may have been the first time I fell (or almost) in love with someone. She looked like a goddess to me, I couldn't believe how pretty she looked
Lily James, dress is honestly amazing and love it. She did such a good job acting.
The animated dress does look a bit blue when they’re dancing. It’s not blue but it kinda has a blueish hue specially in the dark.
The jacket Prince is wearing does look the same blue in the same scene when the jacket is while in scenes in light. The blue is just way the animation implies it’s in shadow. The way the many colors in Belle’s dress in animated film imply its golden yellow, not canary yellow of the live action film.
In animation, for nighttime scenes, you shade with blue. This goes for most painting too. Shading with gray would just be ugly and boring, so most artists go with blue so the shading doesn't just look dirty and sad
I am into cosplay and I had a headache fighting with my guy about a specific character's hair (Girls Frontline Game HK416) me saying it's silver and him saying it's blue. Then I learned that there's such colour called STEEL BLUE which may be known to be called blue-gray. It really looked silver one moment and blue in another moment. I guess the animated version is silver (or steel blue) and looks a lot blue because it is nighttime.
Yeah I always thought the dress was a very pale silvery-blue.
Mai2727 I honestly like it both ways. I think Disney should market their princesses with both looks. I like how they do that with Ariel... I think that’s why so many little girls love Ariel, she has diverse looks not to mention a tail 😉
I screamed of joy when “three nuts for Cinderella” came up. No Christmas without it
My family actually changes the channels when it comes up... sorry not sorry
Every Christmas!!! I swear I loved it as a little kid
I love this movie, at least the king and Aschenbrödel have charackter development together
@@Caet-lk6om shut up❤️
Ikr! I was so happy when it came up, like I was hoping so bad but I didn’t actually expect it to be there... ohhhh the feels
I was surprised not to see Leslie Ann Warren's Cinderella dress (1965) on the list. As a child, seeing that version of Cinderella, I wanted that dress.
Best version of Cinderella! I wanted her dress too, still do
This was the first live-action Cinderella that I saw. I was fifteen, oldest of 6 girls and my mom lets us stay up after 9 to see it. To this day, it is my favorite rendition, with Drew Barrymore a close second.
Absolutely agree! I couldn't believe that amazingly elegant version of Cinderella didn't even make the list.
Very surprised by this omission. Her dress and the movie captured the Cinderella feel the best.
I watched this to see if Lesley Ann Warrens Cinderella ball gown was ranked #1, only to find out it wasn’t even included! WTF
3 nuts for cinderella is my childhood! we watch it every christmas morning (the 24th) Now it's being reenacted by astrid S, an artist from Norway
"Cinderella, this is probably the one you came for" little did she know that I actually came for the Czech-East German adaptation.
Same
Sammmmmmmeeeeeeee
I'm a simple girl. I see Three nuts for Cinderella, I click.
Same.
I didn’t realise Ella Enchanted was supposed to be “Cinderella”...interesting
Claire I think the book is much better, the movie kinda ruined the story.
Yeah , when she started talking about the movie, I was like "What?" Cuz the book was really different.
@@sandywichmann9292 I liked the movie, but only because I watched it before I read it. They were very different in atmosphere.
The book is *phenomenal* and makes it clear that it is an updated retelling 😍 Highly recommend it!
Same as everyone else is saying here. The movie adaptation is fun, but it's also extremely over the top, bears almost zero resemblance to the book, and somehow almost all the costumes and sets come off as weirdly amateur & low-budget. The book is charming and delightful and so much more heartfelt, and her other fairy tale adaptations are hilariously good as well.
I love Ever After so much and don’t care a bit about all the historical inaccuracies! It’s a wonderful version and so unique!!!
Ever After is my favorite. I immerse myself way more in the story if they aren't wearing modern clothes. It also holds the most memories and significance. Other dresses were just... dresses.
Yes!!
I'm surprised you included the Czech version, but it's iconic so I'm glad. The best part of that dress is a pink cape she takes off and the veil. I love how soft and delicate she looks in it, especially because up until then she is anything but.
Yes! Sadly the amazing cape wasn't included
Three wishes for cinderella for me is the best cinderella after the disney cartoon!
Hehehhe I grew up watching this
Yes and I love how soft she looks in comparison to all the other people at the ball who all do the most (like the stepmom and stepsister with those hats 😂😂)
Yes, I was really glad too! In the czech republic this movie is iconic!
"The butterflies comes off as a bit too childish for me" i- it's a kid's movie
Ma’am we’re you expecting a rom com?
Well the butterflies were to symbolize when her father brought her the paper butterfly so it was more for memory
yeah but there’s a difference between making costumes for a kids movie and making costumes for kid characters/actors. the dress without the butterflies already has a ton of magic and whimsy in it, which you would expect from a kids movie. the butterflies just make the dress look like it was designed by Claire’s or Justice, at least to me
jinae nae lol
wings of a butterfly i get why they added the butterflies, i just personally don’t like it. you’re allowed to have different opinions, it’s not that deep lol, idk why you’re so mad abt it
The 2015 Cinderella live adaption was so good, I loved all of the costumes in that film, especially the blue dress.
I personally love the butterflies in the 2015 Cinderella dress. Butterflies represent trasformation and innocence, so I see it like a representation of Cinderella's purity coming out with the fairy godmother's magic making the dress as beautiful as she is on the inside.
They are all lovely but Lily James was the perfect Cinderella. That dress and shoes are everything.
True
I actually came for "Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel". This Movie was always there throughout my childhood. It's a total classic.
right? every Christmas time. Every. Single. One. The soundtrack and costumes and liveliness make the movie still fun to watch after the 100th time
"Tři oříšky pro Popelku" 🙈 agrred the best!
The classic Cinderella cartoon and the new Cinderella movie 2015
Ano, naše česká Popelka je nejlepší.:)
Yesss omg I grew up watching this so many times.... I love this movie❤️❤️❤️
Ever After... this movie still MOVES ME. Her dress was magical for its time. Realistic but breath taking. It was believable and I love it was a masquerade so they added the wings and face paint
I am so happy you included three nuts for Cinderella!! This is the version I grew up with :))
The Grimm tale had Cinderella in a gold dress and ‘into the woods’ was more focused on the Grimm version of the tales instead of the more well known Disney version
Yes, that's what I was thinking also.... I actually liked that one. I would not have put it as last.
I agree that I wouldn't have put it as last, but I can see what she is talking about when she says that they probably could have used a better material for the gold color. Personally I absolutely adore the songs more than anything and will choose Into the Woods over so many other things so many times. So the dress didn't really subtract for me. It was the setting and I think that was your point.
I think it was put last partly because of the lack of structure. A ball gown needs to have crinolines or, at the very least, some petticoats. You should not clearly see the outline of the legs under the skirts, makes it look awkward, especially when they're dancing. The way the skirt flops listlessly when she sits was very off putting. If you are going to use limp fabrics, then you really need to put structure under them to give them some shape. The color was ... an interesting choice. If you're going for forest tones, then commit to that, if you're going for gold, commit to that. Don't waffle halfway between the two. All in all, it looks like a dress that too many people had input into and that no one person had a vision for.
@@eshbena I agree, it's a pretty dress but compared to the list it falls flat, literally lol.
What i also liked and she didn't mentioned was the shoes and how she lost it. Because this is the accurate way from the fairytale.. And in the fairytale Cinderella has a silver gown on the first ball, a golden on the second. In the traditional fairytale version its a tree on her mother's grave that is giving her the dresses not a fairy at all..
the BEST thing about Cinderella´s outfit in "3 Hazelnuts for Cinderella" is the COAT! the light pink coat with the big hood is still one of the most beautiful, magical winter outfits I´ve ever seen in film
I love the coat! I always wanted to have this coat as a kid and her hair. 😁
wut lmao 😭
@@fullmoon15 me too
Yes! I remember wanting such a coat as a child and tbh still want one. It's so gorgeous!
Right?!! I am telling that all the time💓
I love all the gowns for different reasons - the Czech gown for simple beauty, Drew Barrymore's for ethereal angelic quality, the Lily James gown for the color, & how it comes alive during the twirling waltz, and the iconic silver dress of the animated film.. But I will always love the glorious silvery white & satin, ermine trimmed ball gown Leslie Ann Warren wears in the 60s TV version of the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical Cinderella. Like the blue Lily James gown, it is fabulously showcased in the waltzing. And for me, it's the most regal gown. Watch this classic on You Tube - this is the classic Cinderella dress of my childhood, because for years, it was an annual event.
Fun to see that "Ever After" starring Drew Barrymore made it near the top. I love the idea of a secular story and explanation for the legend. The dress was lovely and appropriate in the context, and the movie as a whole was well done.
Definitely one of my favorites!
The bird on the back of the dress is actually a phoenix, as ASCHENbrödel/ CINDERella is rising from the ashes.
I thought that's what it looked like in the clip
Awesome
Aschenputtel You german
or in Czech Cinderella is Popelka (popel = ashes, -ka = usual suffix for female names)
I thought thats how she got her name, her OG name was Ella she was a maid/slave for her step sisters and step mom, she slept beside the fire place so when she was woken up by her stepmom to make breakfast for all of them, she had ashes on her face and her stepsisters named her "CINDERella"
I've just never seen butterflies incorporated into any design scheme that didn't come off as juvenile.
I think it’s possible for it to look right in the cases when it’s more delicate, like made with lace, or on a sheer fabric. And probably outlines of butterflies, not solid, brightly colored ones.
Livia Marques I see what you’re saying. The style of the movie makes it a bit more fitting. However, I think they could have made the butterflies more elegant, and magical.
I think perhaps the butterflies were meant to symbolize Cinderella’s metamorphosis ✨
Kimono have many butterflies on them and they look amazing. The problem is not the butterflies but the design.
I feel like the butterflies might have been added specifically for children? When I was a child I loved butterflies and anything on it and despite everything about the dress being gorgeous I think if I watched the film as a child I definitely would have focused on the butterflies on the dress and shoes
I think we associate with blue for the 1950 Cinderella dress because, during the "So This is Love" scene, we see her in blue due to the lighting of the setting being darker in the hallway/overhangs of the garden than how bright it was in the ballroom.
Lily's dress- absolutely stunning and every little girl's dream to have a 'sticky out' dress you can twirl in.
not gonna lie, I'm here just for the Czech Cinderella
Nápodobně 😁♥️
twl čech 😂
Taky xc
Because she's the best.fairytale.princess.evver. in the best fairytale film ever. And there are many more reasons than just nostalgia for this. Also, her dress deserves a higher ranking.
it's a Czechoslovak-German production, have respect for all the countries involved.
My personal favorite is the Ever After dress, but the animated dress is the standard which everyone tries to mimic - it’s a standard for a reason.
Wait so in that movie the prince didn’t end up marrying Cinderella?
Yeeesss I love ever after
Ever After is my favorite movie EVER!
African lily he did, and then he made the stepmother(who like sold her to Riff raff from Rocky Horror picture show) and step sister into laundry ladies, the nice step sister married the captain of the guard.
brandys cinderella dress honestly still has my heart. That dress is the one i fell in love with as a little girl and brandy just looked so stunning in it. Def my fave
Three nuts for Cinderella is and will always be my favorite childhood movie. Growing up in germany it’s like a christmas tradition but till now I’ve never seen anyone from the uk include this movie so I’m really glad you did!!
"3 nuts for Cinderella" dress - if you are interested in period fashion and go further than just 18th/17th century, you can tell that this movie was supposed to be set some time around the late 14th/ early 15th century in bohemia. I am not saying that its 100% accurate, but it gives me that vibe (although the collar could be lower). Also I think its more about the colour of the dress. If you know this movie, you can notice that Cinderella is wearing darker, more plain colours like grey and brown, but once she gets the magical chestnuts, every piece of fabric coming out of it is somehow lighter and colourful. Like her green hunting dress with 2 different stockings, pink ball gown and finally her wedding dress which I think is cherry on top in this film. I also love how Cinderella and the prince dont fall in love with each other right away, and how they tease each other.
yes exactly! They actually filmed it in the region where it is set too. I think the beauty of this film was missed in this video.
Ok so this is amazing to know and I'll have a close look at the movie this year but honestly I am a huuuugggeee fan of the fact that this isnt like famous American movies only.....don't misunderstand me but we talk much more about American movies/movies in English than all others weather it's European, Asian etc.......sooo big thank you for being objective about this ❤️❤️❤️
@@winterstormkillingya7630 YES! It is true that movies from USA or England are more popular among people so movies from smaller countries are often forgotten although they deserve as much recognition. I think it is because its harder to find these kind of movies with proper subtitles and also because society in this century is more familiar with culture from west countries, so in some cases it might be hard to understand what is going on in some scenes.
@@andreaspanikova2618 Right?
I am from Czech and we watch this film every christmas and it never gets boring and comapared to other czech films from that time i think this film is one of the best crech films
I think they added butterflies to the dress of Cinderella (2015) because one of the gifts her father gave her that she keeps throughout the story is the paper butterfly. It's like a symbolic keepsake.
Also butterflies tend to symbolize innocence, kindness and inner and outer beauty. Also remember the cartoon glass slipper had a sparkly heart on it but 2015 changed it to a sparkly butterfly. The butterflies on the collar were prob to go with it.
The Ever After Cinderella dress will always be number 1 for me. It's one of my favourite movie dress of all time. It takes my breath away every time I see it.
Because of this I found three hazelnuts for Cinderella and it’s now my second favorite Cinderella film. Also a very entertaining video. Thanks!
That blue ball gown I remember it so clearly, when I went to the cinema to watch the movie I was just in awe. It looked spectacular in my opinion, especially how it glimmers and also watching how it came to be. All in all, I loved it. Edit: 2015 Version.
Someday, I’ll sew it
I think that they used the butterflies on the dress as a reference to a scene with her father at the beginning of the movie. Although I still don’t really like the butterflies on the dress because I think they look quite tacky and childish, I like the connection it has with her father. So I think the butterflies look good on the shoes but like you said the dress probably would of looked nicer with gems and diamonds.
Or even, not so many and smaller.... but i agree, they did it to connect the father. Loved them on the shoes.
I would have taken the butterflies off the neckline, and instead put a single butterfly into the structure of the bodice, making it look like a butterfly is wrapping itself around her. It would be a tad more subtle, but would keep the connection to her father.
I don’t really like the fact that the butterflies are that colorful, it would have been better if they had the same color or if there weren’t any butterflies. The dress looks childish and cheap with it
Disney probably added them to make them able to fit children for the clothes they sell
I agree but I think the whole idea of the butterfly also connects to change so it would make sense that they’d show up when she almost comes out of her cocoon and has this big change.
Thank you for mentioning Brandy's dress from R&H in the 90s! It often gets left out of Cinderella discourse, which is a shame considering how much intentional effort went into gorgeous/textured adaptations of the original. My favorite (and Ever After, of course, lol).
I grew up with the three Hazelnuts movie. What I love about her dress is: the high neckline and the entire bodice give it a more masculine line that matches the the robes of the courtiers and fits Cinderella's personality; while she is feminine and sweet and talks about the beautiful dress her mother had wanted to make for her debut (not to mention she openly admits crushing on the bi-saster that is the prince) she hunts and rides and the film outright states that her father raised her to have the same skillets as any man of her time period (not to mention that her magical hunting outfit gives her a male appearance, fooling the prince - who, bi-saster that he is, falls for that talented young hunter too and... Look there's no heterosexual explanation for this guy). A more masculine outline, softened by pastel colours and flowy sleeves fit her perfectly. Also I like how her outfit coordinates and contrasts the prince's regarding cut and bird motifs, while her wedding gown perfectly matches him and is honestly gorgeous and DAMN I love the film ok?
Drew Barrymore's Danielle/Cinderella was the most iconic I've ever seen, and she will forever be my favorite Cinderella. And her dress is gorgeous, while also being historically accurate.
My favorite movie! My husband quotes it too because I've seen it so many times 🤣 one of my faves "the sooner you leave. The sooner (I) can celebrate your return." Also love that she wasn't a weakling! She stood up for herself so many times!
My favorite scene was definitely when she gets Maurice back. Iconic!
@@claradonivan5106 I also love the looks she gives Margaret right before she punches her! 🤜 like she knew she went too far when she said that...haha
@@Jmart003 one of my favorite moments is Jaqueline helping Danielle after the fight, and she laughs and says “I’ll never forget the way her feet went over her head like that...”
Same here!! My fav, and my hubby and I quote it all the time :) His favorite part is at the buffet at the ball, "neigh," "wOaH..." lol!!
Three nuts to Cinderella is a must on Christmas here in Norway.
Same in Germany
Sorry can’t like this. 69 likes :/
Same for Czech republic
Same in Ukraine
norway too?! Wow interesting:-)
Lily James’s dress was the most breathtaking for me. The butterflies, the layers, the colours, the glitters on the dress 🤩🤩 I dream to wear a dress like that one day. Not only is the dress my fav dress out of all disney princess live action, but the movie was also the best!
I am literally so have you included the three nuts one. It's definitely one of my favorite fairytales of all time. The plotline is so much more interesting and I think the actress is really pretty.
Thank you soo much for including "three nuts for cinderella". It's part of my childhood and by far my favourite adaptation. I still watch it every Christmas (it's, for obvious reasons, considered a winter movie here in Germany) and get nostalgic. I always loved her dress but to be exact I loved it more when she wore the pink cloak. She looked so stunning in that. I always forget that the actual dress was mostly silver. And of course I love the wedding dress. It has a gorgeous shape, especially the sleeves and perfectly captures her character and new found openness, compared to the veil she was sporting before. Thank you so much for the video, I really enjoyed it :)
This movie shaped my entire childhood. Its still an annual Christmas tradition in my family. It's my absolute favourite rendition of cinderella or rather Aschenbrödel
Yes, it is and for me will always be the Christmas movie or the Cinderella movie...
Same! This movie has been sent on national television every Christmas in my country (Norway) as long as I can remember. So much nostalgia for that one
Same
Yes! I love this movie so much and costumes are stunning. We had this movie on dvd but it wasn’t popular (im from Russia)
I'm 15 seconds in, just saw czech cinderella, my life is complete.
My words ! I just thought that only mid europe knew this. But Oh my :3 Favourite of them all
Yesss I'm german and for years this was the only version I knew. Til this day it's still my favorite, I especially love the way she's both tough and loving and how her outfits represented her character 😍
Libuše Šafránková - best cinderella actress 😁
Being Czech, I might be a bit biased, but I really like this version the best. Cinderella is no pushover, she fights against her stepmother and stepsister, is witty and even sarcastic, makes fun of the prince, shoots and rides horses at least as well if not better than him and changes him for the better thorough the story.
I prefer the czech wedding dress over the ballgown but either way I love it. I wish they had dubbed it in english so I can share it with everyone. I speak both german and checz aswell ao its kind of frustrating.
Funny story about Cinderella's shoe: I was one of the Ugly Stepsisters in a Roger and Hammerstein production, and well, me, Cinderella, and the other stepsister had the exact same shoe size. We were trying so hard to make it look like it didn't fit.😅
Lily James version is best in my opinion. It’s gorgeous!
As much as Lily's version of the dress is amazing the fact that she went on a liquid diet to fit it always made me feel uncomfortable about it
There is literally no need for people to do this to actresses! Corsets were never meant to be torture instruments! It's supposed to be a support garment that distributes the weight of the dress! Movie directors need to stop pinning their sexism on "historical accuracy" because women have been wearing them just fine before they had something to say about it.
@@ladymirth Thank you exactly! It's horrible and unnecessary for every reason
that ... isn’t true? she’s naturally skinny and wore a corset?
@@a.egodoy7745 you're right she is naturally skinny and the dress will have had a corset but google Lily James liquid diet and you'll see it. It something we looked into because I did Film Studies in that year which is why I knew about
I will do it without thinking
I think part of the reason people remember animated Cinderella's dress as being blue is because its tinted blue during the scenes where she is meant to be in shadow/dark. Like when she and the prince are alone before she runs off. But that is still my favorite dress. It has the advantage of being animated so you get all the sparkly elements every time she moves. I might have choosen the blue dress from the newer movie since they used CGI to replicate that effect but I HATE the butterflies. It just ruins the look for me.
Yes!
The dress was originally white, but to be put into DVD and bluray the grain becomes so scrubbed that most of the line work is completely lost in the end. If you had a VCR version you would see the original appearance and it looked much more lovely and vibrant
@@miarose7315 I'm pretty sure the VHS copy is still at my mother's house and she has a VHS player I may check for myself the next time I visit her.
On my TV it shows up a tinted blue, but I could've sworn that on the DVD its shown white. I'll have to go look for the case.
The butterflies almost can't be seen. They are shown in the shoes just once, and they do not catch the eye in the rest of the scenes, where the different hues of translucent fabric and the crystals catch the eye. I didn't even see them after their first appearance. The hues of the dress steal the show.
Thank you for including the Czech version ❤️ I think the dress is hideous, but thank you for acknowledging the Czech version
The 2015 dress is probably one of the most beautiful dresses Ive ever seen in a movie.
Me: "20 minutes??? I'm not watching a 20 minute video about Cinderella's dresses!" Me, 20 mins later: "what a great video. I loved this."
this was literally me
Same. I didn't think a ranking of cinderella's dress would be interesting but damn was I wrong!
I do like that Drew Barrymores ballgown doesn't quite fit her because it's not tailored for her
I agree and and the color is not pretty either
My favorite is the dress Lesley Ann Warren wore in the 60's version of R&H's Cinderella.
Ever After will always have the best costumes and storyline
Y'all sleeping on Brandy's Cinderella look- she was STUNNING💕💗
I’m saying!!!!
Eh
IKR
Hers was the best
@@TheBerkeleyBeauty At all. The 2015 Disney’s dress is beautiful and timeless.
Yassss. Lily James’ dress was and is the best ever live action gown.
I agree
Agree
Ever after
Yes!!
Her and danielle from ever after are amazing
First: thank you for including three nuts for Cinderella! Here in Germany, it's a major success for decades and one of a few Christmas movies that's become tradition. Even newspapers regularly poke fun at the prospect at how many times the movie is shown every year. Through the whole of December, it's shown up to 30 or 40 times on tv on the different channels. I have to admit I also always loved the wedding gown much better^^. For me, Lily James' dress is a little too blue for me, and, yeah, the butterflies. At first, I thought the skirt was CGI because no way could a skirt move like that. I was very surprised to learn that it's real. I actually like the dress from the glass slipper (even if I've never heard of it before). The dress from ever after, although a fantastic movie, never really moved me that much, but it's been years since I've seen it, I think way before my studies as a historian. I'm sure I would see it with different eyes today.
I'm so happy I finally know the title of The Slipper and the Rose! I saw just a little of it on TV once and it's stuck in my head, but I never knew if it was a Cinderella story or if I was just drawing a lot of parallels. Thank you for doing this list!
