The butterflies are on the Disney LA dress because of Ella’s connection and scene with her father in the beginning of the film with a butterfly. So in a way, with the butterflies and the dress having been her mother’s, she is bringing her parents to the ball with her. I find it so sweet.

Personally I absolutely adore the songs more than anything and will choose Into the Woods over so many other things so many times. So the dress didn't really subtract for me. It was the setting and I think that was your point.

[@eshbena]

I think it was put last partly because of the lack of structure. A ball gown needs to have crinolines or, at the very least, some petticoats. You should not clearly see the outline of the legs under the skirts, makes it look awkward, especially when they're dancing. The way the skirt flops listlessly when she sits was very off putting. If you are going to use limp fabrics, then you really need to put structure under them to give them some shape. The color was ... an interesting choice. If you're going for forest tones, then commit to that, if you're going for gold, commit to that. Don't waffle halfway between the two. All in all, it looks like a dress that too many people had input into and that no one person had a vision for.

"3 nuts for Cinderella" dress - if you are interested in period fashion and go further than just 18th/17th century, you can tell that this movie was supposed to be set some time around the late 14th/ early 15th century in bohemia. I am not saying that its 100% accurate, but it gives me that vibe (although the collar could be lower). Also I think its more about the colour of the dress. If you know this movie, you can notice that Cinderella is wearing darker, more plain colours like grey and brown, but once she gets the magical chestnuts, every piece of fabric coming out of it is somehow lighter and colourful. Like her green hunting dress with 2 different stockings, pink ball gown and finally her wedding dress which I think is cherry on top in this film. I also love how Cinderella and the prince dont fall in love with each other right away, and how they tease each other.

[@hannalowenherz4839]

@@winterstormkillingya7630 YES! It is true that movies from USA or England are more popular among people so movies from smaller countries are often forgotten although they deserve as much recognition.

I totally agree Disney’s cinderella 2015 had the best dress. It was so magical it actually looks like it came from a fairy god mother. The sewn swarovski crystals shows the attention to detail the dress creators had. Truly the best one ever worn by a cinderella character

I think that they used the butterflies on the dress as a reference to a scene with her father at the beginning of the movie. Although I still don’t really like the butterflies on the dress because I think they look quite tacky and childish, I like the connection it has with her father. So I think the butterflies look good on the shoes but like you said the dress probably would of looked nicer with gems and diamonds.

[@venesameses284]

Or even, not so many and smaller.... but i agree, they did it to connect the father. Loved them on the shoes.

[@amandawade7803]

I would have taken the butterflies off the neckline, and instead put a single butterfly into the structure of the bodice, making it look like a butterfly is wrapping itself around her. It would be a tad more subtle, but would keep the connection to her father.

[@rere-me]

I don’t really like the fact that the butterflies are that colorful, it would have been better if they had the same color or if there weren’t any butterflies. The dress looks childish and cheap with it

[@Gal2100]

Disney probably added them to make them able to fit children for the clothes they sell

[@gracegernon7687]

I agree but I think the whole idea of the butterfly also connects to change so it would make sense that they’d show up when she almost comes out of her cocoon and has this big change.

[@dominikathe8762]

I LOVE that you mention Czechoslovakian Cinderella adaptation! I watch the Czechoslovakian version every Christmas as it's a national tradition. I couldn't find many details about the dress, but the patterns are reminiscent of traditional folklore in Slovakia and Czechia. In the context of the movie, Cinderella here is very boyish and an excellent hunter making her seem more "rough" and skilled than other fairytale versions, so giving her a dress that seems girly not only with color but also in the movement of the fabric was a sign of her transformation and showing her more womanly side. It is excellent work by the costume designers as before she has a hunter dress and looked "like a man" and now she seems very delicate with floating dress. White color dresses are heavily featured in folklore, but pink is rarer giving it an exclusive feel. On a personal note, this movie is a stand-alone for me, and I never tried to compare it with other cinderella movies or adaptation. Generally, growing up in Slovakia, I can say that our film adaptations of many fairytales are more down to earth and incorporate less glammed up concept, as many of the fairytales comes from European folklore, also all of our characters have a lot of depth and females are generally strong characters. I appreciate more Hollywood-ish representation, but it somehow pale in comparison in my childhood mind (as I watch them very rarely now) it seems like there was so much going on for the protagonists. Maybe that's why the Ever After is another very popular version of Cinderella in Slovakia. Thank you for the video!

[@tinamisuu_2390]

Thank you soo much for including "three nuts for cinderella". It's part of my childhood and by far my favourite adaptation. I still watch it every Christmas (it's, for obvious reasons, considered a winter movie here in Germany) and get nostalgic. I always loved her dress but to be exact I loved it more when she wore the pink cloak. She looked so stunning in that. I always forget that the actual dress was mostly silver. And of course I love the wedding dress. It has a gorgeous shape, especially the sleeves and perfectly captures her character and new found openness, compared to the veil she was sporting before.

No other Cinderella's ball gown could beat Drew Barrymore's breathtakingly and dreamy gown. It has its realistic style that fits the era/theme of the movie.

@LI VE I agree with you. I would put the Lily James gown in the middle somewhere because I didn't think the blue did anything for her complection and neither did her wig. I really loved Brandys dress, but Drew Barrymore was my all-time favorite. It suited her and it suited the story.

I think part of the reason people remember animated Cinderella's dress as being blue is because its tinted blue during the scenes where she is meant to be in shadow/dark.

same for me :D And im from Czech Republic :) tři oříšky pro Popelku isy favorite childhood movie. The movie outfits Is very inspired by medieval times.

[@slecnazgallifrey]

Hi, I'm from the Czech Republic. Our Cinderella, which you finally rated as sixth in the ranking, is based on period drawings. The dress is from the Gothic period, so the 12th to 15th century. She has her hair uncovered because she's not married, but once she gets married, she'll have to wear her hair under a bonnet.

[@beth12svist]

The whole style of the film is more like 15th-16th century. A lot of the clothes at the court/ball are very late 15th-early 16th century in style. Cinderella's dress is more fantasy than anything, but with its high waist and simpler silhouette, it's definitely inspired by 15th century styles. And it makes a lot of sense to me as a stylistic choice, because that was a big period in Czech history, with a lot of change, unprecedented level of religious freedom (still limited, but definitely unprecedented), elected non-hereditary kings... The music at the ball also echoes that period to a degree, it's definitely part of what makes it work so well even if you're not consciously aware of it.

[@Calucifer13]

The period in which the movie is set is in between 1470 to 1490, likely 1480. The pink dress is NOT period, and the gowns at the ball are a mishmash of that period and maybe like 20 years later, but they are all still from the early Renaissance period. In England, for comparison, it would take place in the Wars of the Roses period, likely at the end of Margaret of Anjou´s and Henry VIth´s period.

[@josied2763]

I think they added butterflies to the dress of Cinderella (2015) because one of the gifts her father gave her that she keeps throughout the story is the paper butterfly. It's like a symbolic keepsake.

Also butterflies tend to symbolize innocence, kindness and inner and outer beauty. Also remember the cartoon glass slipper had a sparkly heart on it but 2015 changed it to a sparkly butterfly. The butterflies on the collar were prob to go with it.

About that “dove“ in the 1973 czech film. I belive that dove at the back is not a dove at all but a phoenix (out of the ashes). Anyway it's not the dress we love.

For me it's definitely _Aschenbrödel_ (the czech/german movie) - I adore the film, it's the best adaption in my opinion and I grew up with it so I just adore it. But I also generally find the costumes of the film beautiful, and I love that she has a veil - it gets rid of the horrible "why can't the Prince remember her face that's so weird" fiasko. As fir the significance of her blue-silver-pink ballgown: She tells the owl that guard her sparce belongings that her father had said once she'd _ride to her first Ball like a Husar_ and that her mother had promise to sew her _a beautiful dancing dress with a veil and train and pink dancing shoes to go with it_ so basically the magic hazelnuts gave her the dress her dead mother had imagined for her when she was still alive.

“Into the Woods” was actually the most accurate of them all. They focused on the Grimm's original Cinderella tale. In the tale, the ball lasted 3 nights, and in each she received a different dress. The golden is very accurate considering the old illustration books. The Into the Woods version is more accurate than Disney version and all of them. (also, the stepsisters cut their toes to fit the crystal shoe, which actually happens in the original tale.)

@@patheticmortal373 It's a common argument, but a very weak one. The original story uses the text "pantoufles de verre" on three separate occasions. The other argument is that in being told the tale, Perrault misheard the storyteller, but even then, "vair" would not have been a common term in the time the story was transcribed. It was a word that had pretty much fallen out of use. It's possible that it was being used to suit the mythological feel of the story, but that's a question that will ultimately never be answered.

@Gi Gi I was about to say, I thought there was a version where she went to more than one ball and one of the dresses came from a tree?? I read a LOT of fairy tales when I was little so I might be mixing a few together and remembering wrong.

[@minacirceni2115]

@@emilylightsey6374 The german Brothers Grimm version. It's the tree on her mothers grave. I explained it in another, bigger comment here =) She gets two dresses in that story for two balls. One silver, one gold.

I actually really love this gold dress.

[@thisnightsrevels9605]

I do like that Drew Barrymores ballgown doesn't quite fit her because it's not tailored for her

[@claire12345-e]

I agree and and the color is not pretty either

[@sonalimbouombouo5029]

I am so happy you included three nuts for Cinderella!! This is the version I grew up with :))

[@ReadingAllDayLong]

Three nuts to Cinderella is hands down my favorite. I do think parts of it comes down to nostalgia, as this is a movie me and MANY others from Norway see every Christmas. Just a few notes from the absolutely beautiful melody of the movie is enough to give me the Christmas feeling. I have never been a big fan of pink, but that soft shade is really pretty not gonna lie. I've always found that dress so beautiful. I love how soft and flowy the veil and sleeves look, the hairdo and accessories fit so well, love the patterns on the dress fabric. I never noticed the bird motif on the dress, only the phoenix on her back.

[@klaus1148]

I think the only reason they have butterflies on the ball dress in 2015, is a reference to her mother. Butterfly’s are used quite a bit throughout the film though I’m not to sure why. Loved this video by the way! ❤️⭐️

[@terezar880]

The thing about Three nuts for Cinderella is that I don't think the ballgown is supposed to be the best/grandest/prettiest one. That's the wedding dress at the end for the grand finale to complete her transformation into a princess. But the ballgown is still very pretty and flowy and is a great contrast to the lady of the house and her daughter, who are dressed in real tacky ensembles. The sheer layers then help to make her look like a ghost or mirage when she runs away, as if she was never real, while the prince goes bonkers trying to find her. Thinking about it, I haven't seen it in a while despite growing up with it. I should watch it this Christmas!

[@saragoncz3766]

3 nuts for cinderella is my childhood! we watch it every christmas morning (the 24th) Now it's being reenacted by astrid S, an artist from Norway

[@smallcorner0404]

To me, ever after and Cinderella’s three nuts have the best costume design. I grew up watching those movies so I just fell in love with historical dresses

[@xxes11xx]

[@antonellasmith1176]

The european (czech) cinderella is my absolutely favourite! The dress was every girls dream.. i remeber watching it the first when i was little. It just had that fairyish and weightless feeling to it. the bird on the back is actually a phoenix and is a symbol of her courage and ambitious personality

[@kiwibug07]

There's just something about Brandy's dress that is unforgettable for me. I loved that movie so much even getting it on VHS as a kid and now owning it on DVD. That dress says Cinderella to me even more than the original Disney version.

[@kiwibug07]

@Bill Mikey I wasn't saying that Disney was the original Cinderella, I was saying the original Disney Cinderella as in the Brandy movie was also Disney as was the 2015 version but the first Cinderella that Disney made in 1950 would be the original Disney made.

[@CatalinaLinal7710]

As a german I was so happy when I saw Cinderella wear gold in "into the woods". I definitely see your point but concidering that the movie/ musical mostly goes with the Grimm versions of the stories I just ADORE the golden dress

[@jessiecorn17]

I just love Drew in Ever After. I don't know what it is but the style is just so delicate and not too overdone. It shows her more as a relatable person. And using her mothers things seems more meaningful. As well as her makeup. Drew is already so naturally stunning and the sparkly not too overdone makeup makes her look even more beautiful. I'm not a fashion expert I just always loved that.

[@rosabelcarrion6819]

To me she looked like an Angel omg🥰🥰 they nailed it.

LOVED Ever after!!! One of my Favorite movies! I also liked how they changed up the sisters a bit.

[@pistolannie6500]

@lilly lazer Me too!! i Loved that little difference.....torn between her loyalty towards her mother and sister, BUT.....also being on the receiving end of her mothers sharp tongue, (wasn't Angelica Houston..PERFECT in that roll!?), she was better able to somewhat understand Danielle... GREAT Cast! Rolled laughing when: "Madam, you may have anything you can carry".....so she picks up the Prince, turns & gives a little curtsy...and walks off! ROFLLL

[@loveIetter]

three nuts for cinderella is one of the most famous czech movies, its actually a czech-german coproduction, the actress playing cinderella is one of the most famous and prettiest actresses in czech republic. this movie has been on tv on christmas eve since forever so it carries a lot of nostalgia for basically all generations

[@rocio8396]

Hi! I don’t know any czech movies besides the one mentioned in the video and i was wondering if you could recommend me some please ✨💕

[@FiveOClockTea]

@@rocio8396 I'm pretty sure there are a lot of fairy tale movies?

[@izzyliberty8720]

@@rocio8396 We've got a lot of fairytale movies, because it's been sort of a tradition to get a new one every (or every other) Christmas. The best ones are the older ones, however, so what I'd recommend is Pyšná princezna, Dvanáct měsíčků, Tři veteráni, Šíleně smutná princezna and Princ a večernice. (Not sure how hard it is to find subtitles in english for them...) I'm not much into Czech movies outside of fairytales, so can't recommend others, sadly.

[@zs103]

@@rocio8396 Czech fairy tales/princess movies: "Pyšná princezna" (proud princess) - black-and-white but a great movie "Šíleně smutná princezna" (incredibly sad princess) - musical-ish, kind of sarcastic, very funny "Jak se budí princezny" (how to wake up a princess) - sleeping beauty, I really like it "Princezna se zlatou hvězdou na čele" (princess with a golden star on her forehead) - funny, the original rhymes "Byl jednou jeden král"/"sůl nad zlato" (once upon a time there was a king/salt is more precious than gold) - these are my personal favorites

[@zs103]

Other movies: "Marečku, podejte mi pero" (Mark, hand me a pen) - communism influenced, but a great funny movie "Rebelové" (rebels) - musical, end of school themed, portrays the 1968 occupation "Pelíšky" (lairs/beds) - partly Christmas movie, partly 1968 occupation related movie, notorious quotes "Slunce, seno, jahody" (sun, hay, strawberries) - so dumb it's actually funny (Czech humor) "Vrchní, prchni" (waiter, duck out) - really good movie

I love Ever After so much and don’t care a bit about all the historical inaccuracies! It’s a wonderful version and so unique!!!

[@annarose932]

I am gonna be very honest, the book Ella Enchanted is much better and more interesting than the film. I listened to the audiobook on KZbin and I think it is more entertaining and interesting then the film.

[@emilybrinkerhoff6825]

That was my favorite book as a kid, and when I eventually watched the film I hated it. It was nothing like the book.

[@zaysclubs]

I read the book and found it boring, I like the Ella Enchanted movie more than the book.

I think the movie is super cute and I love Ella and Char together, but the book is one of my favorite books of all time! It's so sweet and romantic and I just love it. I like how they were younger and I like the multiple days they go to the ball. I'd like to see a more accurate to book movie.

[@naomiheart1863]

Maybe but hugh dancy is hoooot

[@narnia1233]

Thank you for bringing that up. I read the book when I was a kid and loved it. The movie is completely different from the book. The book was actually set back in time (not modern times) and was a serious fantasy story-not a silly campy story. Even though I was taken aback when I saw the movie, I learned to like it. But I still would love to see a faithful TV show or movie adaptation of the book.
