Not as momentous an animated achievement as, say, Snow White or Fantasia, Cinderella is a nonetheless delightful feature, enhanced immeasurably by the introduction of several "funny animal" characters (a Disney tradition that has held fast into the 1990s, as witness Pocahontas), and a host of a sprightly songs, including "Cinderelly," "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes," and - best of all - "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo." The Disney people do a terrific job building up suspense before the inevitable final romantic clinch.
Thoroughly enchanting the prince at the ball, our heroine hightails it at midnight, leaving a glass slipper behind.
She gets her wish courtesy of her Fairy Godmother, who does the pumpkin-into-coach bit, then delivers the requisite "be home by midnight" warning. A few understandable liberties are taken with the original Charles Perrault fairy tale (the wicked stepsisters, for example, do not have their eyes pecked out by crows!) Otherwise, the story remains the same: Cinderella, treated as a slavey by her selfish stepfamily, dreams of going to the Prince's ball.
Our Disney 100 ‘Celebrating Timeless Stories’ limited screening programme celebrates classic, ground-breaking Disney films from almost every decade of the past hundred years and offers many families their first opportunity to watch these titles together on the BIG SCREEN.Ĭinderella was Walt Disney's return to feature-length "story" cartoons after eight years of turning out episodic pastiches like Make Mine Music and Three Caballeros.
