In this video, I have examined 28 different adaptations of Cinderella produced in the past 25 years, including film, video games, ballets, musicals, and more than a couple of entries into the Cinderella Story franchise. The goal is to examine the ways that this classic fairy tale has evolved in the past quarter of a century to see what it reflects about the changes being made to our society.
