All of us are aware of the Cinderella story, right? A young damsel in distress drowned in the responsibilities who manages to reach the ball hosted by the Prince Charming with the help of a fairy godmother’s magic. When the clock stroked 12 and the time was for the magic to wear off, she took off and, in the attempt to run faster, leaves her glass slipper behind, which the Prime Charming used to identify her. Then came the inevitable happy ending.
Now do the gender-swapping, change the glass slipper to an impeccably designed sneaker, and you have Sneakerella. Directed by Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum, this modern-day re-imagined Cinderella story is written by David Light & Joseph Raso, Tamara Chestna, Mindy Stern, and George Gore II. Excited, aren’t you?
So, here’s everything we know about Disney’s Sneakerella:
Sneakerella Release Date
Sneakerella is all set to release exclusively on Disney+ on May 13, 2022.
Sneakerella Trailer
The trailer for Sneakerella has surfaced, and the similarities to the original fairytale are pretty remarkable. The set of step-relatives, the ball, the magic, the godparent, and the shoe being left behind striking similarities. If the escalators were a thing back then, it would have been the same too, alright, just kidding.
Sneakerella Plot
El is a young boy with big dreams. He aspires to be a shoe designer, especially sneakers, even though he is gripped by his financial limit. He works as a stock boy at his deceased mother’s shoe shop, which is currently being managed by his stepfather and mishandled by his mean-hearted stepbrothers. In all the mess, El has a best friend named Sami with whom he can share everything.
The duo gets to know about the Darius King’s charity ball and decides to be a part of it. But how? they had no sufficient means to do so. There came the fairy godfather, and instead of a carriage, he gave El a car to commute. At the ball, El bumps into Kira King, Darius’ daughter and fell in love with her. And as the magic came with a deadline, he took off and in the course of events, left his shoe behind.
Now what’s there to see is will Kira send her footmen door to door for each guy to try the shoe on, like in the original Cinderella story, or there would be something more to it.
