Cinderella will be released on Amazon in September , meaning we will be able to sing and dance along to the Disney classic from the comfort of our homes this fall. The adaption, though, will be a little different than the classic story we know and love. Writer and director of the movie, Kay Cannon told EW, she wanted to modernize the story and make Cinderella more "vocal and active." "I was someone who wasn't really that attracted to the Cinderella story," Kay said. "I kind of thought it was just a bunch of women being mean to each other." Now, her re-telling of the story is a "great opportunity to show this loved, iconic character that is Cinderella in a way that's more relatable to what girls and young women in particular are going through, where they can really see themselves."
