What is the era and time period depicted in the 2015 Cinderella movie?
Disney is remarkable for depicting a “golden age” for most of the Fairy-tale epochs. Obviously pre-industrial or in the earliest stages thereof. It seems to depict the Regency or High Victorian era otherwise. though the stories are much older and attempt to emulate the Middle Ages in a romanticized sort of way.
The era of 2015’s Cinderella seems very beautiful and idealized to me. But what era does it mostly depict?.

Cinderella has always been set around the Middle Ages.
That may be the setting—but all of the movies depict Regency and Victorian elements—some even Flapper era. Mechanical clocks I don’t think date earlier than the 15th or 16th century.
The 2015 Cinderella movie which I asked about is certainly a later period—Lavender’s Blue is 17th century. The Romantic period overlaps some with Regency—the early 1800 (to about 1850)—but by that time, the Brothers Grimm may have already collected the Germanic version of thr ancient story most of us are most familiar.
I am particularly interested in the look, architecture, and fashion in the 2015 Disney version of the movie.
IDK then. I haven’t seen it.
Thanks, however—most people don’t consider these questions worth answering —thanks again (noew I read your response)—definitely worth seeing for a Disney movie
A wikipaedia article mentioned the costumes— several awards given that year
Dunsany put it this way in the preface to one of his books: “After long and patient research I am still unable to give to the reader of these Chronicles the exact date of the times that they tell of. Were it merely a matter of history there could be no doubts about the period; but where magic is concerned, to however slight an extent, there must always be some element of mystery, arising partly out of ignorance and partly from the compulsion of those oaths by which magic protects its precincts from the tiptoe of curiosity. Moreover, magic, even in small quantities, appears to affect time, much as acids affect some metals, curiously changing its substance, until dates seem to melt into a mercurial form that renders them elusive even to the eye of the most watchful historian. It is the magic appearing in Chronicles III and IV that has gravely affected the date, so that all I can tell the reader with certainty of the period is that it fell in the later years of the Golden Age in Spain.”
From what I read the basic theme goes back to BC.
