New Trailer and Poster for Disney+ Original SNEAKERELLA, a Modern Retelling of the Classic Fairy Tale
A new trailer has been released for the Disney+ original movie Sneakerella, a modern retelling of the classic Cinderella story. The new take focuses on a teen boy in New York City who works in a shoe store, but dreams of designing his own sneakers. He gets his shot when he attends a high-end event, and leaves one of his signature kicks on the escalator steps.
The film stars Chosen Jacobs in the lead role, as well as Lexi Underwood, Devyn Nekoda, Bryan Terrell Clark, Hayward Leach, John Salley, Juan Chioran, Kolton Stewart, and Robyn Alomar. It is directed by Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum (Aquamarine, Ramona and Beezus), from a screenplay by David Light and Joseph Raso, Mindy Stern, George Gore II, Tamara Chestna; from a story by George Gore II and Mindy Stern.
Here’s the full synopsis:
El is an aspiring sneaker designer from Queens, NY who works as a stock boy in the shoe store that once belonged to his late mother. He hides his artistic talent from his overburdened stepfather and two mean-spirited stepbrothers who thwart any opportunity that comes his way. When El meets Kira King, fiercely independent daughter of legendary basketball star & sneaker tycoon Darius King, sparks fly as the two bond over their mutual affinity for sneakers. With a nudge from his best friend and a sprinkle of Fairy Godfather magic, El finds the courage to use his talent to pursue his dream of becoming a 'legit' sneaker designer in the industry. El is now ready to lace up and dream big.
This movie is finally moving forward after a bit of a delay. It is definitely geared toward the younger audiences, but seems like a sweet story for kids and families to watch together. Disney+ will release Sneakerella on May 13th, 2022. Check out the trailer and new poster below, and let us know what you think,
