This week...it's another Disney remake with some changes, but it's still the same flashy money-grab that is Disney live action remakes. The debate over is Lily James hot? Are lizards acceptable footman? Is the prince really just Rob Star part deux? So many questions to unbox in this weeks episode. Join us!

The removal of many of the songs from the film is honestly the most disappointing part about this remake. Even the Dream is a Wish song was only in the credits.
Midnight is just the beginning.
A total of 10,000 Swarovski crystals were placed one-by-one on the blue dress, and in Lily James's hair as well.
Lily James originally auditioned for the role of Anastasia Tremaine before being cast as Cinderella.
The final dancing scene was entirely improvised. Director Sir Kenneth Branagh decided to keep it in the final cut.
For the blue dress, there was a total of 270 yards of fabric used, and up to two miles of hem.
The Prince's costumes that Richard Madden wore in this movie were often accented with shades of blue to accentuate his natural blue eyes.
So heres a weird one for you. At the time of this posting...Cinderella from 2015...is NOT available on Disney+ we honestly don't know what happened here.
