The Blu-ray release date for 2021's Cinderella has officially been revealed. Kay Cannon's musical take on the classic fairytale premiered on Amazon Prime Video this past September. Starring Camila Cabello as the titular character, Cinderella portrays the iconic princess as a heroine rather than a helpless servant. She is in no need of a prince to rescue her, although romance ends up finding her anyway. Billy Porter puts a modern twist on the iconic Fairy Godmother (now known as the Fab Godmother), and Idina Menzel stars as the wicked stepmother Vivian. The all-star Cinderella cast also includes Minnie Driver, James Corden, Nicholas Galitzine, and Pierce Brosnan.
Sony Pictures Entertainment has now unveiled the cover art, along with a release date, for the Blu-ray version of Cinderella. Fans can expect the Blu-ray, digital, and DVD versions of the film to hit shelves on June 21. The home release will include a never-before-seen gag reel.
Although poorly received by critics, Cinderella was met with more positive reviews from audiences. Some embraced the new modern take on the traditional story and lauded the film's empowering portrayal of Cinderella. It almost earned the top spot as the fan-favorite film of 2021 at the Oscars. On the other hand, some fans critiqued Cinderella for trying too hard to be different than the original. Considering the latest adaptation of the classic left critics and fans divided, it will be interesting to see how the film does when it is available in physical form on Blu-ray.
