Welcome

Cinderella is the latest film to get the "Honest Trailers" YouTube treatment, alongside the release of the new live-action remake which debuted in cinemas over the weekend. The 1950 Disney classic, widely accepted as the movie that turned around Walt Disney Studios and enabled it to continue making films, is mocked for its outdated, anti-feminist messages.

The "honest" voiceover describes it as the film which "will cancel out all the empowering things your daughter learned from Frozen." It adds the story is one "where girls are taught to be pushovers, do all the housework and their problems will disappear if they're hot enough to land a rich husband."

The cute singing mice who keep Cinderella company in her tower are also critiqued, particularly for their "Work Song," and Cinders's Fairy Godmother is slammed for waiting so long to help out the heroine — also, you know, for only turning up with a pretty dress and not coming to her aid "when her parents died or when her step family forced her into slavery."
