7. Cinderella (2015)
Lily James embodies Cinderella in this Kenneth Branagh feature, which really crystalizes that fairytale dream of Perrault’s original folktale and Disney’s animated film. Its downfall? Not including the music in the film, a choice made odder by the fact that Lily James can sing (just watch Mamma Mia 2: Here We Go Again). Thankfully, you can find her take on “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes” on the soundtrack—and truthfully, even without any on-screen crooning, she’s still one of live-action Disney’s best casting choices.
