Cinderella

Midnight is just the beginning.

Disney has made a live-action version of their classic animated fairy tale. The story, for those not familiar with it, is about a young woman who is abused by her stepmother and stepsisters. The local prince throws a ball in the hope of finding a wife, and Cinderalla, hoping to attend, is forbidden to do so by her stepmother. Luckily a fairy godmother steps in to help, and Cinderella gets to impress the prince at the ball, before having to make a hasty exit. The prince, now in love, comes looking for her.
