* TheDanza: The mice – as voiced/played by James Corden and Romesh Ranganathan – are named James and Romesh. The one voiced/played by James Acaster is named John to differentiate from the first James.

* WordOfSaintPaul: Billy Porter has insinuated that he portrayed the Fabulous Godmother as non-binary, something writer/director Kay Cannon wasn't thinking of when she was writing or filming the movie. Cannon just wanted Porter to play the part because hiring a man to play Cinderella's FairyGodmother would make the character stand out from previous adaptations where the part was played by a woman. Ironically, [[OlderThanTheyThink there already was]] a 1977 porn parody that featured a sassy gay black man as Cinderella’s fairy godmother.

* PlayingWithCharacterType: In a roundabout way, Idina Menzel has made a name for herself playing sympathetic versions of fairy tale villains, from the [[Theatre/{{Wicked}} Wicked Witch of the West]] to the [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Snow Queen]]. She can now add Cinderella's wicked stepmother to this list, but she plays it a bit more straight than the previous examples.
