Hang on a minute… what about the other Cinderella movies, such as Ever After or Ella Enchanted? Shouldn’t these be on the above list?

Over the years there have been many, many adaptations of the classic Cinderella story. Some of the most notable adaptations have included Ever After (1998) and Ella Enchanted (2004), as well as all of the movies in the ‘A Cinderella Story’ series.

The reason that these movies (as well as many others) are not included on the list above is because they are not Disney movies. This post covers Disney Cinderella movies only, NOT movies produced by other studios (even if those studios are now part of the Disney portfolio).
