Editorial Reviews:


Disney's adaptation of the beloved fairy tale became a classic in its own right, thanks to some memorable tunes (including "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes," "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo," and the title song) and some endearingly cute comic relief. We all know the story--the wicked stepmother and stepsisters simply won't have it, this uppity Cinderella thinking she's going to a ball designed to find the handsome prince an appropriate sweetheart, but perseverance, animal buddies, and a well-timed entrance by a fairy godmother make sure things turn out all right. There are a few striking sequences of pure animation--for example, Cinderella is reflected in bubbles drifting through the air--and the design is rich and evocative throughout. It's a simple story padded here agreeably with comic business, particularly Cinderella's rodent pals (dressed up conspicuously like the dwarf sidekicks of another famous Disney heroine) and their misadventures with a wretched cat named Lucifer. There's also much harrumphing and exposition spouting by the King and the Grand Duke. It's a much simpler and more graceful work than the more frenetically paced animated films of today, which makes it simultaneously quaint and highly gratifying. --David Kronke

Cinderella

The sounds and visual quality are really nice in this edition. This movie is a classic and a great movie for little kids to watch. I would definitely recommend someone upgraded to this edition from vhs.

Pure Disney Magic

This movie holds up so well. It is absolutely sparkling, glittery, magical fun.

we enjoy it over and again and it never occurs to me (or my children) that it is well over 50 years old. The background/history was interesting.

I couldn't agree more. But then, bonus features for older movies are rarely terrific because the original cast / staff is typically unavailable for interview.

The bonus features on this DVD are okay. Otherwise, I was unimprssed with the bonus music, etc.

Walt said that the animation of Cinderella's dress changing with the wave of the Fairy Godmother's Wand was his favorite piece of animation of all. The story is timeless, the music is charming and we're absolutely wild about Jaq and Gus.

Better on DVD

My 3 year-old loves Cinderella and sings along to all of the songs. So, we got the DVD from Amazon and it is wonderful. It is worthwhile to step up to DVD. We had the VHS of this movie, but it started to wear out. The pictures are markedly improved.

Classic

Beautiful muscial scores. A classic tale just as I remember it. A must have for any little girl.
