Cinderella is now available on DVD!!

*I work with Disney on promotion of their DVDs. All my opinions are my own and not swayed by outside sources.*

When I first heard that they were making Cinderella into a live action movie, I was not sure what to think. Then again, anything Disney does is GOLD but I will admit that I was a bit hesitant how it would transform from the cartoon we all love to an on-screen live action film. I have to say though after seeing it, Cinderella is a huge WINNER!

My kids and I sat down this week to watch it and we all loved it. Even my husband, remarked how well this movie was. When I was watching it, it brought me back to all my memories of watching the original movie with my mom and now I can continue this tradition on with my own kids in this all new film.
