Added DiffLines:

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The film makes a few alterations in response to criticisms of [[WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}} Disney's original animated version]] (Each human is a FlatCharacter, the search was poorly executed, the [[KarmaHoudini stepmother got away with her abuse towards Cinderella]], etc.). For example, Ella and the Prince have more of a personality now, he has an actual ''name'', he and Ella meet each other well before the ball, [[spoiler:the Prince's hidden presence in the search party ensures that Cinderella is found]], and [[spoiler:Lady Tremaine and her daughters are actually punished in the end]].[[note]]er, [[spoiler:Ella still forgives them, the stepsisters in particular as their antagonism was actually ''lesser'' than in the original film, but ''only'' because the movie's Aesop is "be kind to others". All three, and [[AdaptationalVillainy the Duke]], are mentioned to have left the kingdom and never returned after this.]][[/note]]

** Originally, the sisters were going to mutilate themselves to fit the slipper like in the Grimms version (despite Disney basing ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'' on the earlier Perrault variant), but Disney vetoed that for being too dark, going so far as to replace the director who suggested it. Weirdly, Disney had no problem with ''Film/IntoTheWoods'' doing the same, likely because ''Into the Woods'' adapts the Brothers Grimm version, while both this film and the Disney animated classic are based more on the French version.
** Lily James initially auditioned for one of the ugly stepsisters. [[http://nypost.com/2015/02/11/why-cinderellas-lily-james-wanted-to-play-the-ugly-stepsister/ Yes, really.]]

** Among the candidates for playing Cinderella in this film were Creator/EmmaWatson, Gabriella Wilde, Creator/SaoirseRonan, Creator/AliciaVikander, Bella Heathcote and Creator/MargotRobbie. Creator/AmandaSeyfried was also heavily attached to the project for years, presumably before the film settled on a mostly British cast.

** Lily James is also naturally brunette, but became blonde for the role. Notably although she was a blonde in ''Series/DowntonAbbey'', she wore a wig there.

Moving Casting Gag to Cinderella's trope sheet since it is not part of Trivia.


* CastingGag:
** Creator/LilyJames plays the servant to Sophie [=McShera=], the reverse of their roles on ''Series/DowntonAbbey''.
** Likewise, Creator/RichardMadden plays a royalty who falls in love with a girl considered below his social status, just like his role on ''Series/GameOfThrones'', except this time it has a HappyEnding. Interestingly, his character's name is Kit, just like [[Creator/KitHarington the actor]] who plays his on-screen half-brother [[spoiler: (actually cousin)]] in the same show.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
A repeat of the above point.


** [[Series/GameOfThrones Once again]] Richard Madden plays a royal highness who falls in love with a beautiful strong-willed commoner instead of settling for someone befitting his title. [[spoiler: Let's hope that this time it will end better for the happy couple...]]
