I'm sure there's more but these are some of the really notable nods to other classic children's stories and Disney princesses that they put in the live action Cinderella

An old beggar woman

This scene with the fairy godmother first appearing like a haggard beggar before revealing herself as a beautiful enchantress is such a nod to the opening of the Beauty and the Beast cartoon. She's got the heavy hood like the stained glass crone-enchantress does and you somehow know what's at stake from the moment she asks for the milk. Cinderella of course shows the kindness that the young prince failed to do even though she's having the worst day ever and this lady is not just haggard but uncouth and a little bizarre. She passes the test and looks beyond the externals to the heart.

A prince in the forest

Handsome prince riding his horse through a forest and comes across a beautiful and mysterious girl... Is it cartoon Sleeping Beauty or live action Cinderella? I love that they not only gave Prince Charming/Kit a personality and a plot but that when doing so they mapped a lot of Prince Philip onto him (the best actual royal Disney prince imo) he's got a good relationship with his dad but also stands up to him on things like marrying outside of his class and having different visions for the future but you can tell Philip and Hubert care for each other and have a similar relationship to Kit and the king. Both the king and King Hubert say almost the same lines about "you can't marry a girl you just met once in the forest" they even give him some Hubert-esque facial hair and Kit gets to do a bunch of gallant horseback riding scenes just like my fav prince Philip

A Secret Garden

Now this isn't a princess nod but most children have read the Secret Garden or watched one of the many film adaptations. What I love about this being part of the story is that without explicitly stating it, anyone who's familiar with the Secret Garden, will know the backstory it's inclusion implies. It's their way of telling us Kit spent time with his mother here and it's special to him and he's sharing that with his mystery princess because he trusts her. "I've never shown this to anyone" plus the carryover of what we all associate with a "secret garden" gives us all the subtext we need to know that the garden was his mother's. Add to that Ella's hesitation to get on the swing it's almost like she knows too. It's just woven into the film where this all is so self evident without anything having to be said overtly. Absolutely masterful storytelling weaving in all these elements from the staples of childhood stories to add a texture to this adaptation where you know more than is said due to the cues they give the audience that tie in with other familiar stories

The casting for Philip and Hester is spot fucking on though. Ella’s big doe eyes and just Matthew’s cool charisma is perfect. 👌🏼

Listen To The Band: The Pogues

I call Listen To The Band one of my occasional series. The last one was in August of last year, and the one before that in September 2022, so I think I’m living up to the description. I have been meaning to do one of my tribute pieces for Shane MacGowan since he passed away at the end of November, but never quite got round to it. This is by way of my tribute, and it is an excuse to play some…
