I've watched Cinderella ever since I was five and this movie is so enjoyable that I could watch it over and over again and would still smile for how charming this movie is. I will always remember this movie as the thing that defines and Disney classic
+Fiery artist I agree! I grew up with this movie and while I was not a fan of it as a child, I've grown to like it as an adult. It's definitely a timeless classic!
Thank you for this Review of Cinderella it is my favorite Disney Film and I'm always intrigued to learn anything new about it, Your review has made me a subscriber and I look forward to your next review
Ah the gold standard of fairytales! People love this story and keep telling it over and over and over because, it is an immortal tale. The basic narrative dates back to 600 BC and a story about Rhodophis, a Greek slave girl who's sandal was carried away by a bird and left in front of an Egyptian king. He found the owner of the sandal and married her. Cinderella is practically ingrained in us as people.
Ok, I re-watched Cinderella a few weeks ago to see if there was anything in particular I wanted to say in your review, but honestly, I couldn't think of much more than to say this film is nearly flawless! Everything to the animation, the songs, and the writing truly makes this film magnificent! Not to say that this movie is exactly my favorite, I think that title goes to Dumbo. (Nostalgia always wins) Speaking of which, I was originally going to make a comparison to Dumbo with this movie because it was pretty much the only thing I could think of to say, but of course you already did. All in all, this movie is gorgeous if not perfect! Glad Disney managed to pull this one off, or who knows what would of happened to the studio!
Good to see another review. This is definitely a movie I never appreciated as a kid. I watched it a bit, but not as often as some other Disney movies. In fact the only Disney princess movie I watched quite a bit as a kid was The Little Mermaid. But now I can really appreciate what Cinderella accomplished. Definitely one of their best films. So is the Mary Poppins stuff due for next month?
It's funny, because I was similar; something about Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty being "princess movies" made them seem too girly for me. And provided I actually find some time, yeah, gonna try to get some Mary Poppins in this month.
I've seen both this version & the 2015 live-action version. The latter gives more detail on Cinderella's background, including how she came to be orphaned to begin with. It also has the king die, & the prince succeed him as king, just before the wedding. And it reports at the end that the stepmother & stepsisters have been banished from the kingdom & told never to return.
i really loved this film, and it was such a great thing to see after all the package films. the animation is amazing, the voice acting is amazing, there's some really funny moments, it's just a amazing film. i give it a 9/10. also, Lady Tremaine, is just so evil, i genuinely hated her.
What I remember from watching Cinderella as a little kid there were 2 scenes that really impacted me. When Cinderella's dress gets torn apart by her sisters. I wonder people realize how downright cruel and messed up this scene is. The ball was Cinderella's ticket to 1 night, 1 freaking night where she can finally have some fun. A moment of fun in her miserable life. She was looking so forward to it, wearing a dress from her mother (modified a bit) that was a gift from her best friends. And it gets ripped into shreds by these bitches. I didn't cry when Mufasa died. I did cry when this happened :( The other scene is the 12 o'clock strike. When she flees the ball and gets chased by guards. I remember I was shouting at the screen 'get out of that carriage!". XDXDXD I was legit afraid she'd get crushed by it as it would reverse back to a small pumpkin with her still inside of it. Of course she magically transported herself on top of it after the scene but still... It was tense.
Funny how the deleted scenes you mentioned were used in the live-action feature, though I felt that the elk scene was meant as more of a Bambi reference than actual plot point there.
I'd say both Cinderella and Dumbo work effectively in their own ways. Cinderella was a kind woman who could express how she felt through her face expressions and words, and Dumbo was a sweet baby who was misjudged for something he couldn't help. He didn't need to speak to portray the heartache he was going through.
I have three favorite adaptations of Cinderella. Disney's version for nostalgic reasons, Cinders a visual novel video game were the player reads through the story and makes choices at crucial points to change the outcome, leading to one out of four different endings (not just the fairy tail ending) It's really cool I recommend you check this game out, and Cendrellion a Vocaloid song were Cinderella (Hatsune Miku) is an assassin sent to kill the prince (Kaito) at the ball but get's conflicted when she starts to fall for the prince.
Very cool, and yeah, Cinderella has had a million different adaptations, which is why the fact that one made in 1950 is still relevant in popular culture today is so fascinating to me
This film was "Princess and the Frog" of the Walt Disney Era. It was Disney's return to fairytale stories and narratives and it didn't disappoint. It brought Disney out of the gutter and after this, they remained strong for a while until the Dark Age Era, but for what it is, yeah, Cinderella is a classic. It was yet another Disney film that I watched often. The character of Cinderella has gone on to become one of the most popular Disney princesses and the leader of the franchise and still is to this day. (Of course, I don't know how long that will last if a certain ice queen from Frozen has anything to say about.) Also, on another note, the stepsisters aren't really that ugly. At times, they're actually pretty attractive.
Ira Sutton I think that Cinderella will always be seen as one of the main mascots for the Disney Princess line, just because Cinderella is such an iconic princess. And funny story about the stepsisters, they actually were originally drawn much uglier but Walt had the animators scale back on that a little bit.
Which movie do you like more?? Snow White or Cinderella?? Do you feel the animation suffered at all from shooting the film in live action and tracing it as opposed to other movies??
Awesome review! I still have yet to rewatch this one sometime soon. Hope I end up enjoying it as much as you did. By the way, did you ever see the live-action version yet? You know the live-action Disney version that just came out a couple months ago?
Matthew Cline I did actually, and I had full intentions of making a little Disney News video of my reactions to it....and then the work monster took over. But I have plans for a Disney News segment this week and will probably briefly address my thoughts on it there
That's a really good point actually I never realise that before but both Dumbo and Cindarella suffered a lot of abuse and cruelty from some of the other characters😞
"Cinderella" is another example of how underrated Clarence Nash was. The bird tweets were obviously done by him(At least when they were singing) when you compare them to the tweeting he did in "A day in the life of Donald Duck." Same with when Gus was laughing at Lucifer after scaring him off as a hoarse. I remember seeing something with Jimmy McCDonald showing all the old sound effects equipment, one of which included a little whistle or something that sounds like multiple birds chirping. Do you know anything about it, because I don't know who they used more for the birds, Clarence Nash, or that whistle.
Isaiah Williams It's always tough to pinpoint who did background sounds in this era, mainly because credits weren't really a thing yet. I know that by this time, Nash was a full time employee and MacDonald obviously was the head sound guy, so it could have been either one
I really love this movie, I re-watch it all the time. It has such a good soundtrack, especially A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes. Great Movie, Great Soundtrack.
Joe The Disney Guy This is Joseph Nixon reporting to Mr. Disney Guy. Whatever happened to the Donald's history episode planned for June? I was really looking forward to it and wanted to know more about his past. If it's still in development, is there hope for a special episode on November 18 for a certain 3 foot mouse?
It's actually due next. Unfortunately I've had delays, so everything's backed up a bit, and it's entirely possible that we do something special around November, gotta plan my schedule (and stick to it)
Full Voice Actor List Ilene Woods: Cinderella - William Phipps: Prince Charming - Jimmy McDonald: Multiple Male Mice, Bruno the Dog - Verna Felton: The Fairy Godmother - Eleanor Audley: Lady Tremaine - Lucille Bliss: Anastasia, Multiple Female Mice - Rhoda Williams: Drizella - June Foray: Lucifer the Cat - Luis Van Rooten: The King, The Grand Duke
Also, while the speaking voice of Prince Charming was William Phipps, the singing voice was done by Mike Douglas (yes, the singer and talk-show host, and not Kirk Douglas' son).
I really love Cinderella. Becuse I can understand and fell for her. And I always love stories where the main character triumph over hardship´s. It´s funny that Disney before never really got the hang to create good male main characters. I almost thought of them as avatars for the audience. Example. I can see myself as the prince becuse I as an watcher want Cinderella got get a happy ending. So I wanna be the key to her happines. Hard to explain all this. They are al emotions. Really fun to see all this background work. I get almost all my insperation from Diseny during Walt´s time. The passion. All the ods against him. I will be looking at the rest of your videos. I am kind of a Disney nerd myself. I have done some videos about Disney but I wanna make more. maybe not with facts but explaining the emotions I get watching this movies.
Ahturo s You should definitely do that and thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you like the videos. And yeah, it is sorta odd that Disney really couldn't get a prince with real defined character traits until at least Sleeping Beauty, but, I kind of like that idea about them being vehicles for the audience to put themselves into.
Nope, totally messed that up and didn't realize it til now haha. Alice in Wonderland will be 2 reviews from now. Ah, the mistakes you make when you finish editing reviews at 2:30 AM....
Cinderella is a good movie. The protagonists are all nive, especially Jacques and Gus. The animation is very good and so is the story, even though it has some flaws. And I will never like Prince Charming. I am glad that Cinderella was a success, so we could get all the other great Disney movies. 7/10
Ok, so in my own little mental timeline, from here to Sleeping Beauty, I'm going to consider this to be what I call the "silver era". (The movies that you call the silver era I'm going to consider the bronze era.) I just feel mentally better having the Golden era not chopped in half.
Haha yeah, most people don't split the Golden Era, but in my mind, the characteristics of the films are so similar that it's hard for me to differentiate them. And yes, Cinderella is really a fantastic show of animation and Disney storytelling
My feelings for Cinderella are exactly the same as my feelings for Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Despite the boredom I feel watching it as a movie, I am thankful to it for what it specifically did to Walt Disney. Because Cinderella succeeded at its time, Walt Disney could now go back to full animated movies where he belonged. I will say that I like Snow White just a little bit better, though. Snow White was immediately followed by Pinocchio, so I can take Snow White as a foresight to future greatness. With Cinderella, I doubt I will be the first or the last to say it feels like Cinderella is copying Snow White. It stars a female princess, it has multiple funny sidekicks, an mean stepmother, a prince who rarely appears, and multiple songs. I think there are other people who feel De-Ja-Vou from seeing Snow White and Cinderella together.
Wow I wish I found you years ago!!
you're such a underrated channel!!
Nice to see you back with yet another informative review! Thank you and great work! ;)
Thanks, glad you enjoyed! And yeah, it's always good when I actually can, you know, give you guys videos every now and again haha
I've watched Cinderella ever since I was five and this movie is so enjoyable that I could watch it over and over again and would still smile for how charming this movie is. I will always remember this movie as the thing that defines and Disney classic
+Fiery artist It's certainly one of the timeless classics, and one of the epitome's of Disney animation, in my mind
+Fiery artist I agree! I grew up with this movie and while I was not a fan of it as a child, I've grown to like it as an adult. It's definitely a timeless classic!
It’s definitely great

Agreed
07:49-07:58 Poor Cinderelly. Every time she'd find a minute, that's time when they begin it. Cinderelly, Cinderelly.
Stepsisters: CINDERELLA!!!
lol
Cinderella is a wonderful classic and among one of the best Disney Princess films 8/10
Yay! Good review. Anyway, I love Cinderella and "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" is definitely one of Disney's best songs.
Not gonna lie, I pretty much hummed/sang that and Sing Sweet Nightingale for the entirety of editing this review
Good to see another review. This is definitely a movie I never appreciated as a kid. I watched it a bit, but not as often as some other Disney movies. In fact the only Disney princess movie I watched quite a bit as a kid was The Little Mermaid. But now I can really appreciate what Cinderella accomplished. Definitely one of their best films.

lion king vibe
If only Cinderella was real I could hug her forever I want someone to squeeze
My ideal Disney Princess!
i really loved this film, and it was such a great thing to see after all the package films. the animation is amazing, the voice acting is amazing, there's some really funny moments, it's just a amazing film. i give it a 9/10. also, Lady Tremaine, is just so evil, i genuinely hated her.
i like watching this movie from time to time
What I remember from watching Cinderella as a little kid there were 2 scenes that really impacted me.
When Cinderella's dress gets torn apart by her sisters. I wonder people realize how downright cruel and messed up this scene is. The ball was Cinderella's ticket to 1 night, 1 freaking night where she can finally have some fun. A moment of fun in her miserable life. She was looking so forward to it, wearing a dress from her mother (modified a bit) that was a gift from her best friends. And it gets ripped into shreds by these bitches.
I didn't cry when Mufasa died. I did cry when this happened :(
The other scene is the 12 o'clock strike. When she flees the ball and gets chased by guards. I remember I was shouting at the screen 'get out of that carriage!". XDXDXD
I was legit afraid she'd get crushed by it as it would reverse back to a small pumpkin with her still inside of it. Of course she magically transported herself on top of it after the scene but still... It was tense.
Funny how the deleted scenes you mentioned were used in the live-action feature, though I felt that the elk scene was meant as more of a Bambi reference than actual plot point there.
I'd say both Cinderella and Dumbo work effectively in their own ways. Cinderella was a kind woman who could express how she felt through her face expressions and words, and Dumbo was a sweet baby who was misjudged for something he couldn't help. He didn't need to speak to portray the heartache he was going through.
The working song is still one of the catchier songs in the movie. 🎵We’ll make a lovely dress for Cinderelly🎶
Thank you Prince Charming but Cinderella is in another castle (Mario bros reference)
I have three favorite adaptations of Cinderella. Disney's version for nostalgic reasons, Cinders a visual novel video game were the player reads through the story and makes choices at crucial points to change the outcome, leading to one out of four different endings (not just the fairy tail ending) It's really cool I recommend you check this game out, and Cendrellion a Vocaloid song were Cinderella (Hatsune Miku) is an assassin sent to kill the prince (Kaito) at the ball but get's conflicted when she starts to fall for the prince.
Very cool, and yeah, Cinderella has had a million different adaptations, which is why the fact that one made in 1950 is still relevant in popular culture today is so fascinating to me
Do you plan to do the Disney Sequels too?
Cinderella appeared as a princess pilot episode in Sofia the first Cinderella was also. In her two first sequels
This film was "Princess and the Frog" of the Walt Disney Era. It was Disney's return to fairytale stories and narratives and it didn't disappoint. It brought Disney out of the gutter and after this, they remained strong for a while until the Dark Age Era, but for what it is, yeah, Cinderella is a classic.

At least Anastasia, more so than Drizella.
Which movie do you like more?? Snow White or Cinderella?? Do you feel the animation suffered at all from shooting the film in live action and tracing it as opposed to other movies??
He didn’t have that much to say about Snow White but we have Cinderella
Awesome review! I still have yet to rewatch this one sometime soon. Hope I end up enjoying it as much as you did. By the way, did you ever see the live-action version yet? You know the live-action Disney version that just came out a couple months ago?

My sister used to have that shirt!

Interesting
I just got the dvd at goodwill an hour ago for a dollar 29 and i struck gold cus it was factory sealed
I really love this movie, I re-watch it all the time. It has such a good soundtrack, especially A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes. Great Movie, Great Soundtrack.
Couldn't agree more. They clearly put an emphasis on the soundtrack for this one and it shows; memorable songs and fantastic score
Agreed
Still a good movie and I remember seeing as a kid .This movie sorta saved Disney and it got Disney land

did you know that the red headed step sister in cinderella was the voice of smurfette in the smurfs.
Really ?That’s surprising
She also sang the "Kanine Krunchies" jingle from 101 Dalmatians.
Full Voice Actor List

Also, while the speaking voice of Prince Charming was William Phipps, the singing voice was done by Mike Douglas (yes, the singer and talk-show host, and not Kirk Douglas' son).
@@disneyfan8178 I always get both Mike Douglases mixed up!
watching it tomorrow
If a dream is a wish your heart makes my heart has wished for some really weird stuff
Yeah
I say Dumbo is more affective than Cinderella because I like Dumbo better. because I would pick an baby elephant over a princess.
Interesting perspective

awesome film
i like it
Is your next video Alice & Wonderland?

umm you forgot to mensien the 2 sequels
I think Walt was inspierd to the cat and mice act like Tom & Jerry.
I can see what you mean
That's a very good theory

I think their most famous was beauty and the beast sorry
This movie did bring them back cause it made money
