Disney's Cinderella has grown from a 1950 animated fairy tale into a franchise with two animated sequels and a live-action remake. Here's how to watch every version of the glass-slipper story in order.
Cinderella helped save Walt Disney's studio in 1950 and became a cornerstone of the Disney Princess line. Decades later, Disney added two direct-to-video sequels and a sumptuous live-action remake, so there's more to the glass slipper than just the original ball.
π Release Order
Release order tracks the franchise from the animated original through its sequels and the modern live-action film.
- Cinderella (1950)
- Cinderella II: Dreams Come True (2002)
- Cinderella III: A Twist in Time (2007)
- Cinderella (2015)
The animated sequels continue after the original, so story order largely matches release order β with the live-action remake standing apart as its own retelling.
π Story Chronology
The original film comes first, followed by the two sequels that pick up after Cinderella marries the prince. The 2015 live-action version retells the original tale on its own.
- Cinderella (1950) β the classic rags-to-royalty story
- Cinderella II: Dreams Come True (2002) β life after the wedding
- Cinderella III: A Twist in Time (2007) β the stepmother rewrites history
Which Order Should You Choose?
The 1950 original is essential and the best starting point. Cinderella III is surprisingly well-regarded among the sequels, while Cinderella II is more of an anthology for younger viewers. The 2015 live-action remake is a beautiful stand-alone experience. For most viewers, simply watch the original β and add the rest if you want more of the story.
