Cinderella

Director: Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, Hamilton Luske

Overview

This Disney animated version of Cinderella took the somewhat violent tale of a downtrodden young woman who uses her wits, her beauty, her goodness and a little magical intervention to rise above adversity to become a princess, and changed the story into a syrupy sweet tale in which she does nothing more than look pretty, and passively do as she is told to achieve her dreams. That said, this beautifully animated, tuneful version is still a favorite among Disney fans as it follows the good-hearted Cinderella as she bravely endures the abuse and humiliation of her evil and ugly stepmother and step-sisters. Naturally when the great royal ball, during which the prince is to choose a bride, is held, Cinderella is not allowed to attend. The sisters tell her it is because she has no gown. In true Disney fashion, when all the local mice and birds see the girl who has been so kind to them weeping, they gather together and make her a dress. Unfortunately, the sisters find it and destroy it, leaving the heartbroken maiden alone and saddled with many chores on the night of the grand fete. Fortunately, her sorrow attracts the attention of a beneficent fairy godmother who with a merry "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo" and a wave of her wand, creates for Cinderella a fabulous gown and glorious carriage to take her to the ball. Of course there is the matter of being home at midnight when the spell is to wear off. Cinderella listens and goes to the ball, falls for the prince and has a marvelous time until the clock begins striking the final hour. Hastily she departs, accidentally leaving one impossibly tiny (heaven forbid a hard-working chambermaid have large, ungainly and infinitely practical feet!) glass slipper behind. The besotted prince, desperate to find his mystery love orders a kingdom-wide search and of course, the story ends on an eternally blissful note.

Editorial Reviews

A sweet and simple girl. A wicked stepmother. A fairy godmother. A timeless fairy tale. Disney animation. Put them together and what have you got? “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo,” and one of company’s true masterpieces. Unavailable in any form for almost a decade, Cinderella emerges at long last on DVD to cast its spell on a new generation. Released theatrically in 1950, Cinderella was hailed as Walt Disney’s return to glory. The studio had not produced a full-length animated feature since Bambi eight years earlier. To Charles Perrault’s beloved story of the scullery maid who dances off with her Prince Charming, Disney added a gallery of unforgettable supporting characters, including the resourceful mice Jacques and Gus; the lovable, lazy dog Bruno; and the villainous cat, Lucifer. Cinderella is brimming with some of the most memorable tunes in the Disney songbook, including “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes” and the Oscar-nominated ditty, “Bibbi-Bobbidi-Boo.” And who can forget the animals frantically making a gown for their friend “Cinderelly,” or her fairy godmother transforming a pumpkin into a beautiful coach, or the heart-soaring finale as the Prince slips the glass slipper onto Cinderella’s foot? Cinderella will truly be the belle of the ball with this two-disc Platinum Edition, which contains a treasure trove of bonus features, including a tribute to the animators who defined Disney, the Nine Old Men; a segment about the making of the film; photographs of storyboards for a discarded version of Cinderella; and two deleted scenes. And in an award-worthy bit of cross-company synergy, Disney-owned ESPN Classics contributes a compilation of Cinderella sports stories.
