Editorial Reviews:

Disney's adaptation of the beloved 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

Summary: Pure Disney Magic
Comment: Walt said that the animation of Cinderella's dress changing with the wave of the Fairy Godmother's Wand was his favorite piece of animation of all.. I couldn't agree more. It is absolutely sparkling, glittery, magical fun. This movie holds up so well... we enjoy it over and again and it never occurs to me (or my children) that it is well over 50 years old. The story is timeless, the music is charming and we're absolutely wild about Jaq and Gus!
The bonus features on this DVD are okay. The background/history was interesting. Otherwise, I was unimprssed with the bonus music, etc. But then, bonus features for older movies are rarely terrific because the original cast / staff is typically unavailable for interview.

Summary: Beyond Magical
Comment: My 2 year old loves this, and for the most amazing reasons - she loves all the animal antics in this classic, and the human elements are less interesting to her. She can predict when the dog chases the cat or how the mice and birds will act next, and she enjoys the fairy god mother scene but she usually loses interest when its Cinderella and her step sisters...I always enjoy seeing her watch it - its a reminder that children find the unexpected to be enchanting

Summary: Hey girls.. the answer to all your problems is to land a good husband.
Comment: It doesn't have to be someone you even know, just so long as he's rich, handsome, and connected.
Do this, and your ultimate goal will be fulfilled.
You can bet my daughter won't be watching this horse####.

Summary: All Time Classic!
Comment: If you're a fan of Disney classics, this is definitely one to have. I've been collecting all of the classics that are out on DVD and, I know I've seen reviews that some people were not impressed because of the "quality", but I think if you love the movies, you can look past that. You can't expect that these movies are going to be made with "HD quality". They did a pretty good job at restoring these classics, and I'm just glad they are putting these Disney movies on DVD now because it's hard to find the VHS ones.
This is a definite "must have"! It's an all time classic story, I loved it when I was young.. and I still love it 20 years later. It is not a disappointment at all and worth the price!

Summary: For All Princesses Everywhere
Comment: Everyone knows the story of Cinderella; her story is perhaps the most well-loved princess story of all time. At three years old, my young daughter is enamored of all things princess, and Cinderella is clearly the most beloved princess of all. We recently were lucky enough to take a fabulous Disney cruise. When my daughter actually got to meet Cinderella, to hug her and to talk to her, she was quite literally quivering. I truly thought she might faint from the excitement. It was her dream come true.
Disney's classic masterpiece brings Cinderella's story to life, in full, rich, beautiful color, with familiar, catchy, adored songs, and gorgeous, detailed, vivid animation. This tale is endearing to princesses of all ages, young and old alike. We watch Disney's CINDERELLA several times a week in our house, and every time, my daughter watches straight through from beginning to end, completely enchanted. Heck, I am still completely enchanted, even after all these years. It is lovely, charming, sweet, and happy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for all princesses everywhere.
