Over 50 years after the animated film first hit theaters, Disney is bringing a classic back to life in the live-action remake of "Cinderella."

Lily James, Richard Madden and Cate Blanchett team up to tell a modern version of the tale.

The story follows Ella, a young girl whose father passes away, leaving her in the hands of her nasty stepmother.

But everything changes after she meets a handsome stranger in the woods.

Wednesday night some lucky fans got an exclusive first look at the movie.

The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society hosted the screening to celebrate the success of this year's flower show.

And showing during previews before "Cinderella" is Disney's newest short film, "Frozen Fever."

Screenings start tonight at midnight.

Disney is the parent company of 6abc.
