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:
After having a bad experience with a prior Disney DVD purchase I was a little nervous to try again, but I am glad I did. The DVD arrived quickly and was in perfect condition. It had the original factory seal and all the inserts. I gave it to my 4-year old grandson for Christmas and he loves it. I had seen the original movie in a theater when it first came out in the forties and it was always my favorite too. I wanted my grandson to be familiar with the characters before we go to Disney World in the spring... more info
Excellent Product and Fast Service:
The product was brand new and with no flaws. It arrived in a fast time frame.
Difficulty with the display:
Not the best DVD (difficulty with formatting, and subtitles displaying). Also, has some skipping. I will keep shopping for a better version of this DVD.
