DISNEY - CINDERELLA(1950)
Haven't seen this movie in YEARS!! However, I can attest
that Cinderella has definitely every aspect of a classic Disney
movie!! The songs are wonderful. The story line is timeless.
The artwork is excellent!(Even compared to todays cg!) A
must have classic from the Disney vaults! A
A review from Amazon:
Worry not, Disney fans--this special edition DVD of the
beloved Cinderella won't turn into a pumpkin at the strike
of midnight. One of the most enduring animated films of
all time, the Disney-fied adaptation of the gory Brothers
Grimm 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
