Cinderella is a 2021 romantic musical film based on the fairy tale of the same name by Charles Perrault. Written and directed by Kay Cannon, it stars singer Camila Cabello as the title character in her acting debut, alongside Idina Menzel, Minnie Driver, Nicholas Galitzine, Billy Porter, and Pierce Brosnan. It is a jukebox musical, with the songs mostly pop and rock hits from previous decades, in addition to several original songs. This live-action portrayal of the fairytale follows Disney's 2015 Cinderella.
Development on the film began in April 2019, when Columbia Pictures announced a musical-style film of Cinderella, with Cannon writing and directing. The film was produced by James Corden, through Fulwell 73 with Leo Pearlman, Jonathan Kadin, and Shannon McIntosh. Principal photography began in February 2020 at Pinewood Studios, and was suspended in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Production resumed in August 2020 and concluded in September 2020.
Cinderella was digitally released on September 3, 2021, by Amazon Prime Video. The film received mixed reviews from critics.
