The first film back to their classic formula after the "Package" movies.
It does feel far less ambitious than the Big 5 (Snow White, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, Bambi). And also a little less timeless. Cinderella couldn't be drawn to look any more like a 40's pin-up girl. And what is this movie really about?? From my last watch the Cinderella story was getting in the way of what the animators really wanted to tell, the story of a bunch of mice escaping a cat!! lol
Still, it definitely has its charms. Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo is memorable thanks to the talented Verna Felton and the sequence where Cinderella's dress materialises is iconic.
Thankfully the film was a massive hit at the time, allowing the Disney canon to continue to greater heights in the fifties, (Alice, Peter Pan, Lady & Tramp, Sleeping Beauty)

I’m a huge fan, mostly because it was one of the few I watched multiple times as a kid. Not sure why. Cinderella herself is drawn beautifully, and she’s simultaneously charming and convincing (proto-Belle in Beauty and the Beast?). Better, I think, than Sleeping Beauty, though the animation and villain in that are better. The stepmother is really evil–one of the more underrated Disney villains. Less rewatchable, for whatever reason, than what Seto has accurately called “the Big Five” (and, much later, BatB). “Sing, Sweet Nightingale” has no lyrics other than the title, but that beautiful melody (which should have been applied to a better song) was stuck in my head recently and I couldn’t place it for the longest time! Has anyone seen the Rodgers and Hammerstein version (’57), with Julie Andrews? |

 Lady Tremaine is a great villain, cool, cruel and calculating.  Eleanor Audley (1905 - 1991), the voice behind Lady Tremaine, she also voice acted as Maleficent in Sleeping Beauty 1959. |
