It’s also one of the plot points in _Cinderella_, which got a new trailer for the new year. Disney’s live-action adaptation of its classic will arrive in March, but this trailer ties the new version back to its roots, starting out with a twinkly version of “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes.” (Sadly, there’s no companion to [Lana Del Rey’s “Once Upon a Dream”](http://insidemovies.ew.com/2014/01/26/angelina-jolie-maleficent-grammys/ "undefined") yet, but we still can dream.) Also in the trailer? Helena Bonham Carter’s Fairy Godmother transformation, some slipper shattering from Cate Blanchett as Lady Tremaine, and this line: “I can’t drive. I’m a goose.” On Friday, Disney also unveiled a featurette in which director Kenneth Branagh [reveals](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mBZS7jnoL4 "undefined"): “There’s no damsels in distress here. Cinderella’s not a pushover. She sticks up for herself.” [_This article originally appeared on EW.com_](http://insidemovies.ew.com/2015/01/02/cinderella-gets-midnight-themed-trailer-for-new-years/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3652659/cinderella-trailer-new-year/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3652659/cinderella-trailer-new-year/"},"headline":"Cinderella Gets Midnight-Themed Trailer for New Year's","datePublished":"2015-01-02T22:17:07.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T03:15:04.032Z","description":"The trailer starts out with a twinkly version of “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes”","url":"https://time.com/3652659/cinderella-trailer-new-year/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc02978daa88ff6b8/698777f606f2c119d43332fd/glass-shoe.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Esther Zuckerman / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc02978daa88ff6b8/698777f606f2c119d43332fd/glass-shoe.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"glass shoe","caption":"glass shoe","creditText":"Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3652659/cinderella-trailer-new-year/","name":"Cinderella Gets Midnight-Themed Trailer for New Year's"}}]}] ```
