Synopsis
Cinderella 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. 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. 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. Thoroughly enchanting the
prince at the ball, our heroine hightails it at midnight, leaving a
glass slipper behind. The Disney people do a terrific job building up
suspense before the inevitable final romantic clinch. 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
