Religious themes in Disney's recent live-action version of "Cinderella" (2015)


Noting the religious themes and symbols of the film, cultural commentator Fr. Robert Barron writes that due to Branagh's traditional telling of the story, "he actually allows the spiritual -- indeed specifically Christian -- character of the tale to emerge."[84]

Since when was Disney's recent live-action film adaptation of "Cinderella" (2015) a "Christian" film?  How does Fr. Robert Barron of "Real Clear Religion" know that Kenneth Branagh intended to allow a "spiritual" or a "specifically Christian" character of the story emerge in the film?  I don't remember any religious themes in the Disney's 1950 animated film "Cinderella".
