KUALA LUMPUR – Disney+ Hotstar has released a new trailer for the upcoming original movie 'Sneakerella'. 

 From the studio behind the mega-hit 'Descendants', 'High School Musical', and 'Zombies' franchises, this pop/hip-hop musical is set in the vibrant street-sneaker subculture of New York City. It puts a contemporary twist on the 'Cinderella' fairy tale.  

El, an aspiring sneaker designer from Queens, works as a stock boy in a shoe store and hides his artistic talent. Sparks fly after a chance encounter with Kira King, the daughter of sneaker royalty and a Manhattan Princess Charming of sorts.

With a nudge from his best friend and a touch of magic, El finds the courage to lace up and dream big.

Triple threats Chosen Jacobs and Lexi Underwood respectively star as El and Kira alongside a multi-talented, diverse ensemble cast including John Salley, Devyn Nekoda, Juan Chioran, Bryan Terrell Clark, Kolton Stewart, Robyn Alomar, Yvonne Senat Jones and Hayward Leach. 

'Sneakerella' is a Disney+ Hotstar original movie from Disney Branded Television, directed and co-executive produced by Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum. Jane Startz and Rachel Watanabe-Batton serve as executive producers.

The teleplay was written by David Light & Joseph Raso, Tamara Chestna and Mindy Stern & George Gore II and is based on a story by Stern & Gore and Light & Raso. Chestna also serves as co-executive producer.

'Sneakerella' begins streaming on May 13, exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar. – The Vibes, April 22, 2022
