Camila Cabello's Cinderella Is a Fun Retelling of the Disney Classic, but I Was Left Wanting More

The evil stepmother and stepsisters certainly have the biggest character development in this iteration. They're not exactly "evil" as they are extremely misguided. After chasing her own dreams of being a pianist, the Evil Stepmother, aka Vivian, tells Cinderella how her husband left her for acting so "frivolously." From there, she decided to help her girls become the best wives they could be, whatever the cost.

Through Vivian's character, the film highlights just how backwards and sexist Disney's Cinderella really was, even though it was released in the 1950s when women were expected to be housewives rather than have careers of their own. Vivian's heart-to-heart with Cinderella about her past really humanizes the character in ways the Disney version never did.
