"The El Capitan Theatre is truly the most magical place to experience Disney's dazzling and eagerly-anticipated "Cinderella" and "Frozen Fever," said Lylle Breier, senior vice president of worldwide special events for Walt
Disney Studios Motion Pictures. "Only at the El Capitan will guests be treated to Olaf live onstage to introduce "Frozen Fever" and see a display featuring the Glass Slipper and other magnificent props used in the movie before and after every screening."
Before every screening of the movie, El Capitan Guests will also see images spring to life during an immersive light and projection show accompanied by the El Capitan's live organist.
Daily showtimes are 10 a.m., 1:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m. and a 9:45 p.m. screening on opening weekend and Friday and Saturdays. Tickets are on sale now, and available at the El Capitan Theatre (6838 Hollywood Blvd.), online at
www.elcapitantickets.com, or by calling 1-800-DISNEY6. Special group rates for parties of 20 or more are available by calling
1-818-845-3110. Show times are subject to change.
On select dates, El Capitan guests may enjoy breakfast, meet Olaf and receive a commemorative photo before seeing the 10 a.m. movie. Seating is limited and reservations are required.
The El Capitan Theatre will also host a very special Tiny Tot Tuesday every Tuesday during the run of "Cinderella" at 10 a.m. During these special screenings, parents and small children may enjoy the movie in a tot-friendly way-with lights dimmed rather than out and reduced sound levels.
ABOUT "CINDERELLA"
The story of "Cinderella" follows the fortunes of young Ella (Lily James) whose merchant father remarries following the death of her mother. Eager to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new Stepmother (Cate Blanchett) and her daughters Anastasia (Holliday Grainger) and Drisella (Sophie McShera) into
THE FAMILY home. But, when Ella's father unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family. Soon, she is forced to become their servant, disrespected, covered in ashes and spitefully renamed Cinderella. Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted upon her, Ella will not give in to despair nor despise those who mistreat her, and she continues to remain positive, determined to honor her mother's dying words and to "have courage and be kind." When Ella meets a dashing stranger in the woods, unaware that he is really
THE PRINCE (Richard Madden) and not merely Kit, an apprentice at the palace, she believes she has finally found a kindred soul. It appears her fortunes may be about to change when the King (Derek Jacobi) summons all maidens in the kingdom to attend a royal ball at the palace, raising Ella's hopes of once again encountering the charming Kit. Alas, her Stepmother forbids her to attend and callously destroys her dress. Meanwhile, the calculating Grand Duke (Stellan Skarsgård) devises a plan to thwart the Prince's hopes of reuniting with Ella and enlists the support of the devious Stepmother. But, as in all good fairy tales, help is at hand. Soon, a kindly beggar woman (Helena Bonham Carter) steps forward and, armed with a pumpkin, a few mice and a magic wand, changes Cinderella's life forever.
Directed by Academy Award nominee Kenneth Branagh ("Thor," "Hamlet") and starring Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett ("Blue Jasmine," "Elizabeth"),
LILY James ("Downton Abbey"), Richard Madden ("Game of Thrones") and Academy Award nominee Helena Bonham Carter ("The King's Speech," "Alice in Wonderland"), "Cinderella" is produced by Simon Kinberg ("X-Men: Days of Future Past," "Elysium"), Allison Shearmur ("The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1") and David Barron ("Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1") with Tim Lewis ("Edge of Tomorrow") serving as executive producer. The screenplay is by Chris Weitz ("About a Boy," "The Golden Compass").
"Cinderella" will be released through Walt
Disney Studios Motion Pictures on March 13, 2015.
