Upon finally re-watching the film, I declare it to be a good but not great Disney animated film that was amazing for its time but can’t really hold up to today’s Disney films. It must have been at least 15-20 years since I’ve seen the film.
#Cinderella original movie
Will she make it to the ball in time and will she get the life of her dreams?īefore I received Cinderella: Walt Disney Signature Collection for review, it had been so long since I watched this movie that I thought there were three wicked stepsisters and had no idea how long it took for this film to even get to the ball (over halfway through the movie). Cinderella and her stepsisters are invited but Lady Tremaine does her best to sabotage Cinderella’s efforts to attend. He has the Grand Duke organize a ball to find his son a suitable marriage partner and invites all of the eligible maidens in the area. Meanwhile, the King of the area wants his Prince to settle down, get married, and give him some grandchildren. Cinderella is also constantly dreaming of a better life and often sings about it. Her only friends are the local animals, especially the mice and birds that live around her property. All of these women are cruel to her, forcing her to do their cooking, cleaning, sewing, and just about everything else they need done. Still, a brief synopsis and review of the film will be provided in the next two paragraphs.ĭating back to 1634 (with some elements of the story appearing between 7 BC and 23 AD), Cinderella is the story of young woman who lost both her parents when she was young and was forced to work in her own home as a maid to her stepmother (Lady Tremaine) and stepsisters. Most of you have seen this version numerous times so I won’t be spending too much time on the film’s story or quality, as you probably care more about the video quality and bonus features included on this release.
Maybe 10-20% of the English-speaking world hasn’t seen at least one of the many adaptations of this classic fairy tale. You probably all know the tale of Cinderella already. While only two of the bonus features included on this release are completely new, this release comes loaded with extras and is the first time Cinderella has been available on Blu-ray in about two and a half years. This time, Cinderella is being released as part of the Walt Disney Signature Collection. Surprisingly, this is only the second time the film has been released on Blu-ray (in America at least) and it has been in the Disney Vault since early 2017. Due to that, there have been an umpteenth amount of releases of this film on nearly every format imaginable from the usual DVD and VHS releases to less common formats like Laser Disc and Beta. Cinderella is widely known as one of the most famous fairy tales of all-time and the 1950 Disney animated version is usually considered to be the most classic of all the numerous adaptations that have been made.
