It is produced by David Barron, Simon Kinberg and Allison Shearmur for Walt Disney Pictures.

Cinderella had its world premiere on February 13, 2015, at the 65th Berlin International Film Festival and was released in theaters on March 13, 2015. It grossed over $543 million worldwide, becoming Branagh's highest-grossing film to date, and received mostly positive reviews. The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Costume Design at the 88th Academy Awards.

Ella is born to loving parents on a beautiful estate in a peaceful kingdom. Since childhood, she is taught by her mother to believe in magic, encouraging her to befriend animals and be kind. Her mother shares with Ella that she believes humans are looked after by fairy godmothers. One day, Ella's mother falls terminally ill. On her deathbed, she advises Ella to always face life's difficulties with courage and kindness. Some years later, Ella's father remarries again with Lady Tremaine, a widow, who has two daughters of her own: Drisella and Anastasia.
