Disney films have always held a special place in my heart, and if I had to pick just one that captured my imagination from childhood and still does today, it would definitely be Cinderella. There's something timeless about her story—the quiet strength, the unwavering kindness, and the hope that even in the darkest moments, magic can find you. whether it was the animated classic or the 2015 live-action version, I found myself rooting for her every single time. For one thing, my experiences in life kind of relate with Cinderella in a way; I guess that's why i just love the movie.

For me, CineTV is not just about watching movies—its about celebrating the moments, emotions, lessons, and dreams they spark in us. I am definitely excited to learn, share, and grow here, among the great hivers of the CineTV community. Thanks for having me; lets make movie magic together—one story at a time.

The Movie's Storyline:

After losing her parents, young Ella is left in the care of her wicked stepmother and two extremely jealous stepsisters, who rename her Cinderella and treat her like an ordinary servant in her own home. Despite their cruelty, she remains kind and hopeful, holding on to her mother's advice to "have courage and be kind." Her life takes a magical turn when she meets a charming prince. With help from her fairy godmother, Ella is able to attend the royal ball, where love, courage, and kindness lead her to her destiny.

What I Love or Hated About The Movie

There is absolutely nothing to hate about this movie.

The film beautifully emphasizes the value of the quote "have courage and be kind." Ella's strength isn't in magic or power—it's in her goodness, her kind heart, even when she's unfairly treated. The movie teaches me a powerful lesson about kindness, courage, and self-worth. I also especially admire her love for animals; I started seeing all animals as if they can actually talk.The scene is really amazing

I also love the fact that Cinderella is not waiting to be rescued. I especially admire her humility—she makes her own choices, stands up for herself, and chooses love without losing her dignity. At the end, she receives respect and love from the prince, which eventually leads to marriage. Like Cinderella, I have found dignity in being patient, resilient, and especially humble.

How It Influenced Me And The People Around Me

The Cinderella movie left a lasting impact on me and the people close to me. It reminded me that showing kindness to those who are hostile to you and who constantly speak ill of you is not a weakness, and that even in difficult situations, staying true to who you are can lead to something beautiful. Ella's quiet strength and grace in the face of cruelty inspired me to be more patient, gentle, and forgiving—not just with others, but with myself too. For my friends and family who watched it with me, it sparked conversations about inner strength, dignity, and the importance of choosing kindness over revenge. It wasn't just about a fairytale —It was a reminder that goodness, even in silence, has power.

The Part Of The Movie I Found Most Interesting

One of the enchanting scenes in Cinderella movies is when the fairy godmother transforms an ordinary pumpkin into a magnificent golden carriage. The pumpkin represents Cinderella's reality: humble, overlooked, and plain. Turning it into a beautiful carriage shows how something ordinary—even discarded can become extraordinary with a little help and belief.

This moment reminds me that with faith, kindness, and courage, even the most modest beginnings can actually carry me into a better and beautiful future—just like that pumpkin carried Cinderella to the ball.

The Particular Scene That Still Pops Into My Mind

A powerful and unforgettable scene that still pops into my mind is when Cinderella walks into the royal ball wearing her magical blue gown.

Everything about that moment—the sweeping music, the shimmer of the dress, the awe of the crowd stirring in amazement, standing still—most especially, the prince's stunned reaction—captures pure wonder. It's not just visually stunning; it's emotionally moving. After all the hardship she faced, Cinderella's entrance into the royal ball is a triumph of grace, dignity and magic. She doesn't arrive as someone seeking attention but as someone simply and humbly embracing her opportunity. To me that moment is magical, humbling, and beautiful.

The scene is definitely a symbol of her inner transformation shining outwardly, Reminding me that light and goodness always rise at the end.

The Performance of The Actor/Actress That Impresses Me

Lily James portrayed the typical fairytale princess—Cinderella. She brought warmth, emotional depth, and real strength to the role. I was really impressed by the way she delivered the line, "Have courage and be kind." It felt genuine and stayed with many viewers, especially me. Her character as Cinderella expresses a calm strength and humility, which made her feel more human, more relatable—and unforgettable.

Why Do I Think It's Significant and Great( or not)

I think the prince determination and commitment to finding the mysterious girl from the ball— the actual owner of the glass slipper—is significant and great because it shows that true love is intentional—it doesn't settle; it seeks and fights to be found. The prince even went from door to door across the kingdom in search of Cinderella. Despite the pressure to marry for politics or status, he followed his heart. It wasn't just about a shoe or a pretty face at the ball, but about her sincerity; he remembered her kindness, her spirit, the girl who truly saw and accepted him, just as he accepted her.
