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

Cinderella:
This was a rip-off! It came in a square plastic DVD sleeve with no printed cover...not in the rectangle case that they come in it they come from a store.
took some time:
It wasn't as quick in delivery as most products I bought, but it still got to me in good condition.
Brought back many memories:
I have a 4 year old granddaughter and she loves the PRINCESSES with Disney and Cinderella is one of her favorites. Watching it again with her brought back great memories of my childhood growing up with Disney movies. Great response using AMAZON for ordering movies from long ago that my grandchildren now enjoy watching.
what movie?:
I wish I had gotten the movie. I received an email on the day that the package was due that it has been refunded...no other explaination.
