Not only did this movie save Disney from bankruptcy, but it jump-started the Clyde Geronimi era, which may be my favorite era of Disney movies. Yes, I know he worked on Ichabod & Mr. Toad, Melody Time, etc. prior to that, but to me, this is the true beginning. Also, this still remains the best Tom and Jerry movie ever made.
As a kid I always found her to be so incredibly important. I dealt with a lot of bullies in my life- one being my own sister. I was a child I couldn't escape- much like Cinderella was a young girl in a time period and country that would eat her alive for being homeless and alone. Cinderellas perseverance, patience, and refusal to give into the depression of her situation leaves me awe inspired to this day. To me she didn't wait around to be saved. She wanted one night to be happy and a memory to hold her through the misery to come. And she more than earned that Fairy Godmother giving her that. I also liked to think the Prince and Cinderella talked alot that night. I liked to imagine the grace and poise she had built up in her hardships charmed the prince. Cinderella is just so incredibly important to me as a model of holding your own and finding your own happiness in the darkest of times- even if that happiness is just a song to sing as you work.
I like that Doug aknowledges Cinderella's patience, but I don't view her as being un-feministic I think her and Snow White are actually great role models and stronger than they're made out to be. They're two girls who have had everything they could have ever wished for who have lost everything, including their families, and are forced into maid roles against their will, yet they both have it in them to be positive, patient and see the bright side of things. I don't know how many of us would still be kind and graceful in situations like that, I know I'd probably be moping all the time.
Yes! Yes! Thank you! I'm sick and tired of people thinking that Snow White and Cinderella are useless because they weren't tough and badass. Some women can be strong just by being kind and patient.
@@impossibledial How does Snow White suck exactly? She's a kind and gentle 14 year old girl who, is hated by her stepmother just because she's beautiful and was forced to flee for her life dispite not knowing much about the real world.
It used to bother me that Cinderella didn't do anything. But as I grew up, and looked back on it, I realized exactly what a strong character she is. She grew up in an abusive household, was patient, continued to believe in herself, was able to stay positive, and managed to leave that abusive environment. Not only that, but in the sequel she was able to forgive her abusers. That was really something that changed the way I saw this movie.
Indeed, she had such an iconic voice that stands out. She even had a voice-over part in the classic “Twilight Zone” ‘The Hitchhiker’; she’s the one who tells our heroine the big twist of the story
I actually like this movie, it holds a special place in my heart. Mostly because of the beautiful art, but also because it gets unfairly hated on so much. Cinderella isn't really a terrible character. A little bland, but she was kind, patient and hardworking. She was also pretty realistic about her situation. She even said in the film that if you wanted a bed to sleep in you better let go of your dreams. She falls in love with the prince pretty easily, but it is a fairy tail.
I completely agree with him. When I was a little girl, I admired Cinderella for her kindness, patience, and optimism. I admired her for being polite to her stepsisters and stepmother, even when they were being cruel to her. I think that's an important lesson for anyone: never stoop to their level and be the better person. Those are lessons and virtues that I abide to even today.
I don't see why people hate Cinderella as a character. I think she is really cool! She has a lot of patience and tries to see the good in everyone. All she really wants is a pretty dress and a night off from her work. Never once did she say that she wanted love or a prince until she actually figured out that who she was dancing with was the prince. I don't know, I might be a bit biased, but I love Cinderella!
you know what's sad? After playing Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, I found that Terra and Cinderella had better chemistry and a stronger connection than Cinderella had with the prince. The prince was mostly interested in her looks, and it took a dance for them to fall in love. Whereas Terra was there for Cinderella after her dress was ruined, he protected her from the unversed three times, and they seem to have rather cute moments together. They would probably have had a better relationship (not to mention that terra has more to him as a character) I am not a character shipper, nor do I wish to be, but this was an interesting idea that came to my attention.
+Spyro The Gerudo Too bad it wasn't canon to the Cinderella universe or it wasn't supposed to be. I found it humorous that aqua stalled them by trying on the slipper. I found myself doing Aqua's story over and over just for that. Its just so funny.
Aqua is like the best magic user in that game(even though the game outright tells you right away) well you also use her in the last episode(was it called that?) I really can't wait for her to interact with Sora and the others and rescue Ventus from his Coma
I think what makes the step mother such a great villain was somewhat representative of the way some mother-in-laws would treat their newly wed wives. The wives would get the short end of the stick in terms of affection compared to the mom-in-law's own family, the wife would be driven to exhaustion through household labour with little to no appreciation, which I can very much relate to what my mother experienced. I don't mean to generalise this experience but this is what makes the film(and the Disney story book, which was what I read as a 5 year old) so interesting to me as an adult today. It did represent certain stereotypes among many families at the time, hell even through the 90s when my mother had to deal with my paternal grandma. I wonder if my mother actually kinda liked the book but didn't think I would read it because it was too girly(I had that boys stuff only phase) but yet again with Disney, I appreciate their film a lot more as an adult than when I was a Disney crazed boy.
Having recently rewatched this movie for the first time in decades, I was surprised at what ended up being my favorite element of it, something the Critic didn't even mention: The characters of the King and the Grand Duke, ESPECIALLY for the scenes where it's just the two of them interacting with each other. These two guys were so freaking funny and entertaining to watch in every scene they were in! They were like an Abbott & Costello- esque comedy duo, with the Grand Duke being a great "Straight- man" to the King's over- the- top outbursts. The best use of them is DEFINITELY the scene that takes place the morning after the Ball, in which the Grand Duke has to wake the King (Who saw Cinderella and the Prince seem to hit it off well, but then retired to bed before midnight and grimly warned the Grand Duke that he'd be beheaded if anything went wrong) and inform him that Cinderella got away but they still got the slipper. The scene starts on a cute note with the King having a happy dream in which he's playing Horsey with his imagined future grandchildren, then when the King awakes and the Grand Duke nervously sets out to break the news to him, I found myself laughing my butt off literally the entire scene! In particular, near the end of that scene, the unexpected use of the famous "Goofy yell" had me, grown man that I am, straight- up SHRIEKING with laughter! Heck, those two could have made a good spinoff movie! Just that one viewing made them easily one of my all- time favorite Disney duos!
What a lovely soundtrack. *sigh* Who else starts the morning singing "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes"? It was like a precursor to Tangled's "When Will My Life Begin?".
*Doug reviewing Cinderella years ago:* I like this movie fine *Doug reviewing the Live Action remake years later:* This is so offensive to the original which was nearly a masterpiece! P.S. I still love his reviews, please don't hate me
He's got a point though, the remake has many flaws in it's writing that people overlook cause she has more time with the prince ( which is way easier to pull off in live action than it is in animation , ESPECIALLY during Walt's time ... ) To give you an example : The reason as to why them meeting before the ball in Ever After works is because they got rid of the whole " who's this mysterious princess at the ball ... " which later on when she gets revealed it turns into a plot point when Henry feels betrayed and demanded she leaves ( the sneaked in the mystery woman angle with the sister's gossiping about this countess the prince has been spotted with ,the Film is very cleverly written. ) in the fairytale turn's out to be Not a princess but a mere dirty scolury maid ,in Perrault's the prince falls in love with her natural charisma and kindness which she displayed though her interactions with the sister's at the ball ( Perrault's version is drastically different from Disney's in terms of characters and themes ) and her being found to be the opposite of what everyone expected is a commentary on society and how good manners are what makes a princess not a mere title ( Anyone can be a princess sort of way ) ... In Disney's L.A.R. from 2015 he KNOWS her social statues because he meets her earlier on and Recognises her at the ball which creates a problem because he knows she's of low social station therefore the number of girls that have to try the shoe is significantly lower and makes him seem kinda stupid since in this case he'd be looking for a servant not a noble woman, also the subtext the story has about 17th century society is gone ( in Perrault's version she literally traspasses cause only people of statues were invited not the common folk , which makes her more rebellious " screw societal norms I'm gonna have my self a good time " ,makes the Stepmother not allowing her to go more reasonable " I won't have you embarrassing us Infront of high society and my peers ... 🧐", and as I said earlier makes the ending more of a twist for the characters in the story since Cinderella was out of suspicion to be the one,she was allowed to try it cause .. why the fk not 😂😂😂😂 ) Also the Stepmother finding she's the one as well as the glass slipper in the remake comes out of nowhere and doesn't flow nearly as well as in the original, as Dough pointed out after she gets locked up she doesn't even TRY to escape and is overall too peppy and cheerful to the point of obnoxiousness .The scene with her mother's dress also comes out of nowhere because they cut the scene where she makes a bargain with the stepmother, In fact Lady Tremaine makes it very clear in the remake that she WON'T GO right after she asked to be allowed to attend ( during this scene in the original she's she comes across as confident, strong and defiant ,while in the remake she has the exact same soft-spoken meek demeanor she has during the entire film, she's way blander in the remake )
Cinderella has gone on to become one of my favorite Disney characters. I think she often gets misread because people just assume she’s waiting for a man. She is not, she just wants an evening off and happens to fall in love. Just because she doesn’t carry a sword or fight doesn’t mean she’s weak. I think she’s a deeply kind and caring person who is trying to make the best of a horrible situation. The moral courage to be abused for years and to still find it in herself to be a kind person is incredible and is something I want to strive for. Plus she’s not passive in her situation she tries to defend herself when Lady Tremaine accuses her of putting the mouse in the cup, and she takes agency where she can. She defends the mice and birds and Bruno from Lucifer and Lady Tremaine. Plus those are the ones who end up helping her, so it’s really her kindness that leads to her escape. I really think people need to rewatch this movie and observe all the actions of Cinderella because I think people would find a kind and strong character in her.
I mean in the sequel Cinderella helps one of her step sisters find love despite all they've done to her. She's far more forgiving than most and that's a good quality. So are patience, cleanliness, kindness and hopefulness
"Cinderella" is a classic fairy tale film and it was great. Yup, I used to remember watching "Cinderella" tons of times and yes, we used to make a "Cinderella" puppet play in elementary school and it was good old times. Anyways, the film basically talks about a servant girl was forced to clean up everything with her dreadful Stepmother (nicely voice by the actress who did Maleficent in "Sleeping Beauty") and her two stepsisters until her fairy godmother grands her wish and dances with that boring prince who only wants a exotic blond girl instead of hideous women and her goal is to keep her dreams come true and hoping that it could be her miracle. That's what I know about this movie and so does the 2015 live action version up which is very well done movie like the animation did. It's a nice fairy tale movie with colorful backgrounds and a nicely design of Cinderella with a pretty dress and her motivation is good. Overall, classic animated film.
I loved the grandduke in this one! And Watso videos theorized that the fairy godmother had the slipper alter its size at will. The chase scene was marvellous. But I did find the king having grandbabies on the brain quite disturbing. Just because he wanted grandkids, he pressures the prince to get married when he just got home from whereever the hell he was and who knows for how long. And the stepmother unleashing the stepsisters to tear Cinderellas dead mothers dress was almost violent for a kids movie. All we needed were scratches & bruises. In the 3rd film when Lady Tremane shatters the slipper, she holds her staff under Cinderellas chin as if she threatening to beat her. This implied physical abuse to her childhood since the narrator said "she was abused, humiliated, and FINALLY forced to become a servant in her own house."
Everything else the godmother gave Cinderella (the dress, the coach men, etc.) all were transformed from something previously existing. The glass slippers were made from scratch and henceforth could not revert back to their previous state at midnight
While I do think Cinderella is okay,I consider it to be a return to form to the roots of Disney’s Snow White and Walt’s return to making full-length animated stories after a series of brief episodic cartoon films he made in the 40’s after WW2 came along,since while Cinderella despite being a damsel,was a nice servant girl who would put up with the people around her and still remain kind and enjoy her life,Lady Tremaine,Lucifer,and Anastasia and Drizella were all great and entertaining villians,and funny moments with Gus,Jaq,The King,and The Duke. Out of all the 50’s Disney animated movies,while Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan were my most favorites of the 50’s era for being fun and entertaining to watch and Lady and the Tramp was legit beautiful and outstanding, Cinderella(along with Sleeping Beauty)was in a mixed bag of mine,since despite having a few flaws and the original usual princess formula,they still had great moments,likable characters,and memorable timeless songs. Cinderella III was a amazing improvement over the flaws of the original and the other sequel,originally planned to be a TV series.
"I'm you fairy godmother, I've been watching you get abused, starved, and be forced into being a slave for 8 years now. And now when you can't go to the party I'm going to help you."
Starmadien2019 fairies aren't good forces or evil ones. They're nuetral and play by personal specific rules. In the original story she only comes because Cinderella has done something specific that earns her good graces. Yeah fairies in general are assholes from one perspective or another.
If you pinpoint and pause the film during the presenting of the ladies, you can see some Disney Princess dresses that were designed and made YEARS AFTER this movie came out. Any chance Disney can see into the future???
I think the question of whether the social messages of the film are a product of the film's time or something that makes the basic story incompatible with "modernity" can be pretty well demonstrated by watching non-Disney-influenced versions of the story, especially movies from before the Disney version came out. For example, 1938's Mamele is pretty much immune from all the criticism generally leveled against Cinderella. A Molly Picon vehicle taking place in then-contemporary Lodz (right before Germany invaded) and likely derived more from the Brothers Grimm version of the story than the Perrault version Disney popularized, the movie depicts a strong protagonist (she successfully bluffs an armed gangster) whose specific virtues bring her salvation and a relationship with a "prince" (actually a newly ascendant local musician) that makes a lot of sense. Most of the themes are about perseverance, knowing when to assert oneself, and appreciating those who help you (rather than outright hostile, her family is just a bunch of ingrates). Also, all the women work, and it's just taken as a fact of life because this was the prewar middle class, and the only non-Yiddish one sees in the entire movie is a few Hebrew prayers, a sign in the background, and a single Polish loanword. Going even further back, one can look at the story of Ruth, which is a very similar narrative to the folktale and has similar themes of virtue bringing good things, but also shows Ruth's disposition directly causing her good fortune and an over-current of economic geopolitics. As for the glass slipper, one has to remember that glass has no give and was made bespoke for her. It's basically a direct cast of her foot.
glass shoe means form fitted, slightly odd/small foot shape and it'll only really fit her. also the daring to take a glass sliver in the foot if those break(by magic they don't)
Like you said about you being a male and liking her and her patience. My brother says she is his favorite too for being so kind. And the villain is amazing Chills
The fact that pretty much anyone could fit the shoe is actually addressed in the movie itself. The king basically says that “Fuck it, the Prince promised it and now he will have to marry the first girl that fits”. It's kind of twisted, but this part of the story is about the King wanting to have grandchildren, seemingly without regard to the Prince's feelings.
Doug Walker, you forgot about the Grand Duke. he and the King get the most hilarious parts in this movie. the reason why the Prince is less focused is because he is realistically animated, which is difficult, while his dad and the duke are more cartoony.
Funnily enough, the animated animals likely were purely filler since they did not come from the source material at all and were there to make the fairy tale last long enough to be feature length, similar to what Disney did with the Snow White's dwarves who had no personality in the classic tales and were not named at all. Disney's source materials were sparse, so they added in filler to make the film long enough for theatres.
I can't even watch Cinderella wishing I could call the cops on Lady Tremaine , I suppose that the live action version will get the Disneycember treatment
+iHeartRyanStiles Especially after the sisters tear up the dress. The Walkers said in their Vlog for the new one that that scene is the closest Disney has ever gotten to a rape scene. And they're right, judging by the way that scene is paced and edited. Good Christ, is this scene way more fucked up than I remember it - you can actually feel this innocent character being violated.
TalesOfGamerz yes there was no justice system or a means of quick communication in those days but still, and the only time we've seen justice happen in that case was in a Cinderella Story
+iHeartRyanStiles It will have the Disneycember treatment, I check it out in his wikia. And if you saw the review he did with Rob (the Sibling Rivalry stuff), he has strong feelings about that movie.
TheGoldenAge2 many people like different things, maybe they like the characters maybe they like the animation who knows. People just like different things.

+Jkop, OK, but how do you compare Ghibli and Pixar?
+deonta thomas I actually really dislike most Ghibli films because of the recycled character designs, cringeworthy characters and voice acting, and just plain weird plots. The only film of theirs that I love is Grave of the Fireflies and I also do like Spirited Away. It's really all about taste. I like Disney and Pixar infinitely better, and I hate when people try to present a studio as factually superior.
I think Doug makes good points here. Theres not too much to Cinderella as a character, but she did maintain a lot of patience. I dont really see it as her waiting around for dreams to come true. Its more like the classic saying "good things to come to those who wait." Okay, maybe that didnt make much sense lol The other good point is with the Prince. I really dont like the message of the story itself. You see this woman, dance with her and decide that she is the one you want to spend the rest of your life with? Just... ugh. But overall, thats my only gripe with it. I still watch Cinderella from time to time and I still enjoy it.
Is it bad that I'm a guy and I like the films from Snow White to Sleeping Beauty, even when they are all about princesses? I don't know why but, I love the art of the vintage films and I want to say that Fantasia, Bambi, Cinderella, and Lady and the Tramp are part of my favourite Disney films. I don't know if I'm insecure or embarrassed because, guys should be tougher and like action and violence and any film geared towards boys regardless of time era. In my mind, guys shouldn't like Cinderella at all or like Lady and the Tramp; Peter Pan was for boys and that's all they got. That's my thinking. Am I wrong on this?
The is goddamn magic its literally only support to fit one person. Still makes the prince not the smartest person but I'm pretty sure he would know if someone was the right one or not ( i.e Cinderella 3 showed what would happen if the shoe fit someone else)
Ah don't know, ah was always distracted by that *bitch* Lady Tremaine to really notice the other characters... Man it felt *good* when ah first saw her gasp in horror as Cinderella presented the second slipper xD Anyway, the movie thankfully had Tremaine-free moments which were enjoyable.
The problem with this film is not that it is antifeminist; the problem is instead that it teaches the same thing the actual fairy tale teaches: be nice and don't do anything for yourself and life will eventually get better. You see that more in classical editions, specifically Perrault's and the Grimm Brothers', but the issue is still inherent in Disney's Cinderella because tears, although they allow a release of emotions, do not summon a fairy godmother to take away the woes of life.
Idk Cinderella was always a strong Female character imo. And I didn't get any of that message that your talking abou when I was a kid. I got the message that even tho life maybe tough always look on the positive and work hard. Also I'm sick and tired of all of these movies being called antifeminist. Not everyone has to be super strong and get a weapon and fight. Falling in love with someone isn't a bad thing and isn't being weak. Cinderella for how she grew up and the condition's she was in was a pretty strong character. Like is every man in a movie super strong? Nah not really. Yet we don't bitch about that. It's not a bad thing to be emotional and polite and nice. Modern feminism finds everything offensive tbh so I can't say much.
+Bender B. Rodriguez That's in the 19th century German version. The presence of Godmother, pumpkin, and glass slipper very obviously show the Disney version to be an adaptation of the 17th century French version. There is an even earlier Italian version, but that one seems to concentrate more on Cinderella's father.
9 років тому+2
+Bender B. Rodriguez, yeah the Grimm brothers were not the creators of the stories.
They could have showed some of his personality through the conversation they seemed to be having near that pond, but I'm guessing they didn't know a way to make that interesting.
They were on a tight budget and schedule, didn't have time to fack around ... 😂😂😂 He had many scene's that ended up being cut including a song about his experience at the ball
Yes they did ,and It was kinda disappointed for me cause the remake has a lot of flaws they didn't brought up and focused too much on " BUT IN THE REMAKE THE PRINCE HAS MORE SCREEN TIME ... ! 🤪 " which is good and all but makes him look stupid cause in the remake he knew she wasn't nobility ( both when they first meet AND AT THE BALL ,and If I recall correctly during their first meeting she tells him that she's called Cinderella ... " It's by royal command and under harsh penalty if not be done that the maiden named Cinderella should present herself to his royal Highness at once " Problem Solved ... ) and yet tried the slipper on woman that should've been disqualified because THEY'RE NOBILITY while the girl he was looking for was a COMMONER ,also, in Perrault's fairytale the ball was an exclusive event for the upper classes ,no common folk allowed .In Perrault's version she comes off as rebellious " Screw societal structures I'm gonna crash that party and have himself a good time" , Perrault's version is drastically different from Disney's 1950 version in terms of themes and characters If they had done some research they could've put the elements missing in the 50's version ( like the story revolving entirely around Cinderella's relationship with her sister's ) .They made a reference to Grimm's Aschenputtel with the completely POINTLESS addition of the brach Cinderella asks her father to bring her back from his trip ( in Grimm's it turns into a magical hazel tree which is the fairy godmother equivalent in Grimm's ) surely they could've added things that were left out from Disney's original film LIKE THE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DYNAMIC IN CINDERELLA AND THE STEPSISTER'S RELATIONSHIP ... !?!?! 😩😤🙄😒☹️🤪😁 This film is such a missed opportunity ,all of the Live Action Remakes really ...
This is still the classic we all know and love for generations. Way better than the 2021 version with Camila Cabello that I have to avoid. “Cinderella (2021)” sucks!
I actually joked on the Once Upon a Time facebook page after the live action film came out that, Why do I have a feeling that Lady Tremaine will be the big baddie next season, considering that the success of Malificent brought her back to Once. Well luckily for me Disney's most overrated princess was underused on Once
Cinderella isn't proactive because she's a survivor: she eventually gets out of a shitty, abusive situation while having survived it. Which is good.
Bewilderbeastie There’s nothing she could have done.
Agreed

Was the Renaissance Era from 1989-1999?
its also the start of the disney silver age. Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty, etc.
As a kid I always found her to be so incredibly important. I dealt with a lot of bullies in my life- one being my own sister. I was a child I couldn't escape- much like Cinderella was a young girl in a time period and country that would eat her alive for being homeless and alone.
Cinderellas perseverance, patience, and refusal to give into the depression of her situation leaves me awe inspired to this day. To me she didn't wait around to be saved. She wanted one night to be happy and a memory to hold her through the misery to come. And she more than earned that Fairy Godmother giving her that.
I also liked to think the Prince and Cinderella talked alot that night. I liked to imagine the grace and poise she had built up in her hardships charmed the prince.

But, sire! This shoe could fit any number of women!
That's his problem. He gave his word, we'll hold him to it!
Dad of the year, everyone.
haha
I like how the king is almost a parallel to Lady Tremaine, in how conniving and controlling he is over his son.
@@1krani Only difference is that he does genuinely love him
It used to bother me that Cinderella didn't do anything. But as I grew up, and looked back on it, I realized exactly what a strong character she is.

X2 now it's my favorite princesses
It is also cool that Lady Tremaine was voiced by Disney legend Eleanor Audley, the same who voiced Maleficent
And Madame Leota in The Haunted Mansion
Indeed, she had such an iconic voice that stands out. She even had a voice-over part in the classic “Twilight Zone” ‘The Hitchhiker’; she’s the one who tells our heroine the big twist of the story
That’s interesting

Anyone else miss the chorus at the end of Disney movies?
Jay P. It worked back then but now it's just pointless.
I do kinda miss that
Yeah but now the style of movies is different so it would seem out of place
It was a different era for that .
✋Me.
Cinderella didn't want to be 'saved', she wanted a night off and a pretty dress, and was rightly upset when they were taken away from her.
Ilene Woods voice was wonderful!
you know what's sad? After playing Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, I found that Terra and Cinderella had better chemistry and a stronger connection than Cinderella had with the prince. The prince was mostly interested in her looks, and it took a dance for them to fall in love. Whereas Terra was there for Cinderella after her dress was ruined, he protected her from the unversed three times, and they seem to have rather cute moments together. They would probably have had a better relationship (not to mention that terra has more to him as a character)
I am not a character shipper, nor do I wish to be, but this was an interesting idea that came to my attention.
+Spyro The Gerudo Too bad it wasn't canon to the Cinderella universe or it wasn't supposed to be.

No
Honestly? Because of Terra's part in Cinderella's world I now low-key ship them. They're cute
Spyro The Gerudo You know, I can find that they had better chemistry
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the realistic movements of the characters, it's truly amazing how good the animation was
"The songs, of course, everybody knows."

I think what makes the step mother such a great villain was somewhat representative of the way some mother-in-laws would treat their newly wed wives. The wives would get the short end of the stick in terms of affection compared to the mom-in-law's own family, the wife would be driven to exhaustion through household labour with little to no appreciation, which I can very much relate to what my mother experienced. I don't mean to generalise this experience but this is what makes the film(and the Disney story book, which was what I read as a 5 year old) so interesting to me as an adult today.
It did represent certain stereotypes among many families at the time, hell even through the 90s when my mother had to deal with my paternal grandma. I wonder if my mother actually kinda liked the book but didn't think I would read it because it was too girly(I had that boys stuff only phase) but yet again with Disney, I appreciate their film a lot more as an adult than when I was a Disney crazed boy.
Having recently rewatched this movie for the first time in decades, I was surprised at what ended up being my favorite element of it, something the Critic didn't even mention:
The characters of the King and the Grand Duke, ESPECIALLY for the scenes where it's just the two of them interacting with each other.
These two guys were so freaking funny and entertaining to watch in every scene they were in! They were like an Abbott & Costello- esque comedy duo, with the Grand Duke being a great "Straight- man" to the King's over- the- top outbursts.
The best use of them is DEFINITELY the scene that takes place the morning after the Ball, in which the Grand Duke has to wake the King (Who saw Cinderella and the Prince seem to hit it off well, but then retired to bed before midnight and grimly warned the Grand Duke that he'd be beheaded if anything went wrong) and inform him that Cinderella got away but they still got the slipper. The scene starts on a cute note with the King having a happy dream in which he's playing Horsey with his imagined future grandchildren, then when the King awakes and the Grand Duke nervously sets out to break the news to him, I found myself laughing my butt off literally the entire scene! In particular, near the end of that scene, the unexpected use of the famous "Goofy yell" had me, grown man that I am, straight- up SHRIEKING with laughter!
Heck, those two could have made a good spinoff movie! Just that one viewing made them easily one of my all- time favorite Disney duos!
Cinderella was a amazing and beautiful Disney Princess Classic that I watched on 📼 when I was a kid 9 years old since 2010
I love this movie, this was one of my favorite movies when I was little and still is, Cinderella is one of my favorite Disney princess.
theres a certain charm to theses classic movies that i just havent seen in modern movies
Cinderella (1950)

Cinderella (2015)

What a lovely soundtrack. *sigh*
Who else starts the morning singing "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes"? It was like a precursor to Tangled's "When Will My Life Begin?".
*Doug reviewing Cinderella years ago:* I like this movie fine
*Doug reviewing the Live Action remake years later:* This is so offensive to the original which was nearly a masterpiece!
P.S. I still love his reviews, please don't hate me
He's got a point though, the remake has many flaws in it's writing that people overlook cause she has more time with the prince ( which is way easier to pull off in live action than it is in animation , ESPECIALLY during Walt's time ... )
To give you an example :
The reason as to why them meeting before the ball in Ever After works is because they got rid of the whole " who's this mysterious princess at the ball ... " which later on when she gets revealed it turns into a plot point when Henry feels betrayed and demanded she leaves ( the sneaked in the mystery woman angle with the sister's gossiping about this countess the prince has been spotted with ,the Film is very cleverly written. ) in the fairytale turn's out to be Not a princess but a mere dirty scolury maid ,in Perrault's the prince falls in love with her natural charisma and kindness which she displayed though her interactions with the sister's at the ball ( Perrault's version is drastically different from Disney's in terms of characters and themes ) and her being found to be the opposite of what everyone expected is a commentary on society and how good manners are what makes a princess not a mere title ( Anyone can be a princess sort of way ) ... In Disney's L.A.R. from 2015 he KNOWS her social statues because he meets her earlier on and Recognises her at the ball which creates a problem because he knows she's of low social station therefore the number of girls that have to try the shoe is significantly lower and makes him seem kinda stupid since in this case he'd be looking for a servant not a noble woman, also the subtext the story has about 17th century society is gone ( in Perrault's version she literally traspasses cause only people of statues were invited not the common folk , which makes her more rebellious " screw societal norms I'm gonna have my self a good time " ,makes the Stepmother not allowing her to go more reasonable " I won't have you embarrassing us Infront of high society and my peers ... 🧐", and as I said earlier makes the ending more of a twist for the characters in the story since Cinderella was out of suspicion to be the one,she was allowed to try it cause .. why the fk not 😂😂😂😂 )
Also the Stepmother finding she's the one as well as the glass slipper in the remake comes out of nowhere and doesn't flow nearly as well as in the original, as Dough pointed out after she gets locked up she doesn't even TRY to escape and is overall too peppy and cheerful to the point of obnoxiousness .The scene with her mother's dress also comes out of nowhere because they cut the scene where she makes a bargain with the stepmother, In fact Lady Tremaine makes it very clear in the remake that she WON'T GO right after she asked to be allowed to attend ( during this scene in the original she's she comes across as confident, strong and defiant ,while in the remake she has the exact same soft-spoken meek demeanor she has during the entire film, she's way blander in the remake )
The backgrounds and color schemes are the best aspects of the film -- some of the best in the canon. Mary Blair was a genius.
Cinderella has gone on to become one of my favorite Disney characters. I think she often gets misread because people just assume she’s waiting for a man. She is not, she just wants an evening off and happens to fall in love. Just because she doesn’t carry a sword or fight doesn’t mean she’s weak. I think she’s a deeply kind and caring person who is trying to make the best of a horrible situation. The moral courage to be abused for years and to still find it in herself to be a kind person is incredible and is something I want to strive for. Plus she’s not passive in her situation she tries to defend herself when Lady Tremaine accuses her of putting the mouse in the cup, and she takes agency where she can. She defends the mice and birds and Bruno from Lucifer and Lady Tremaine. Plus those are the ones who end up helping her, so it’s really her kindness that leads to her escape. I really think people need to rewatch this movie and observe all the actions of Cinderella because I think people would find a kind and strong character in her.
I mean in the sequel Cinderella helps one of her step sisters find love despite all they've done to her. She's far more forgiving than most and that's a good quality. So are patience, cleanliness, kindness and hopefulness
The work song is one of the most catchy songs in this movie 🎵We’ll make a lovely dress for Cinderelly🎶
"Cinderella" is a classic fairy tale film and it was great. Yup, I used to remember watching "Cinderella" tons of times and yes, we used to make a "Cinderella" puppet play in elementary school and it was good old times. Anyways, the film basically talks about a servant girl was forced to clean up everything with her dreadful Stepmother (nicely voice by the actress who did Maleficent in "Sleeping Beauty") and her two stepsisters until her fairy godmother grands her wish and dances with that boring prince who only wants a exotic blond girl instead of hideous women and her goal is to keep her dreams come true and hoping that it could be her miracle. That's what I know about this movie and so does the 2015 live action version up which is very well done movie like the animation did. It's a nice fairy tale movie with colorful backgrounds and a nicely design of Cinderella with a pretty dress and her motivation is good. Overall, classic animated film.
Even these dumb fat stepsisters had their huge butts reminds like the dumb whore sisters of "Kardashians." Ha! Honest Trailers did this. 😄
I loved the grandduke in this one! And Watso videos theorized that the fairy godmother had the slipper alter its size at will. The chase scene was marvellous. But I did find the king having grandbabies on the brain quite disturbing. Just because he wanted grandkids, he pressures the prince to get married when he just got home from whereever the hell he was and who knows for how long. And the stepmother unleashing the stepsisters to tear Cinderellas dead mothers dress was almost violent for a kids movie. All we needed were scratches & bruises. In the 3rd film when Lady Tremane shatters the slipper, she holds her staff under Cinderellas chin as if she threatening to beat her. This implied physical abuse to her childhood since the narrator said "she was abused, humiliated, and FINALLY forced to become a servant in her own house."
Hey if cinderela's dress disepears at midnight then why didn't her shoes dissapear?
I have a theory
Cinderella lost a shoe
because of that the shoes stayed. For them to disappear the shoes had to be together. Or continuity issues 😁
Oh okay she should have just taken of the dress then, because you kmow free clothes.
because it was a gift given to her, to remember the ball and to be a ex machina @ the end.
Everything else the godmother gave Cinderella (the dress, the coach men, etc.) all were transformed from something previously existing. The glass slippers were made from scratch and henceforth could not revert back to their previous state at midnight
While I do think Cinderella is okay,I consider it to be a return to form to the roots of Disney’s Snow White and Walt’s return to making full-length animated stories after a series of brief episodic cartoon films he made in the 40’s after WW2 came along,since while Cinderella despite being a damsel,was a nice servant girl who would put up with the people around her and still remain kind and enjoy her life,Lady Tremaine,Lucifer,and Anastasia and Drizella were all great and entertaining villians,and funny moments with Gus,Jaq,The King,and The Duke. Out of all the 50’s Disney animated movies,while Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan were my most favorites of the 50’s era for being fun and entertaining to watch and Lady and the Tramp was legit beautiful and outstanding, Cinderella(along with Sleeping Beauty)was in a mixed bag of mine,since despite having a few flaws and the original usual princess formula,they still had great moments,likable characters,and memorable timeless songs. Cinderella III was a amazing improvement over the flaws of the original and the other sequel,originally planned to be a TV series.
"I'm you fairy godmother, I've been watching you get abused, starved, and be forced into being a slave for 8 years now. And now when you can't go to the party I'm going to help you."
Starmadien2019 fairies aren't good forces or evil ones. They're nuetral and play by personal specific rules. In the original story she only comes because Cinderella has done something specific that earns her good graces.
Yeah fairies in general are assholes from one perspective or another.
I remember lighting up every time she pulled out the other slipper
What a power move
1:50 believe it or not, he does. But not two, or three, but one. One singular line. “Will I ever see you again?”
That's still way more lines than he had in Perrault's version which was precisely ZERO 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Best Animated Title Sequence and Credits Wall E
If you pinpoint and pause the film during the presenting of the ladies, you can see some Disney Princess dresses that were designed and made YEARS AFTER this movie came out. Any chance Disney can see into the future???
"It's definitely pretty good." Way to commit, man.
I think the question of whether the social messages of the film are a product of the film's time or something that makes the basic story incompatible with "modernity" can be pretty well demonstrated by watching non-Disney-influenced versions of the story, especially movies from before the Disney version came out. For example, 1938's Mamele is pretty much immune from all the criticism generally leveled against Cinderella. A Molly Picon vehicle taking place in then-contemporary Lodz (right before Germany invaded) and likely derived more from the Brothers Grimm version of the story than the Perrault version Disney popularized, the movie depicts a strong protagonist (she successfully bluffs an armed gangster) whose specific virtues bring her salvation and a relationship with a "prince" (actually a newly ascendant local musician) that makes a lot of sense. Most of the themes are about perseverance, knowing when to assert oneself, and appreciating those who help you (rather than outright hostile, her family is just a bunch of ingrates). Also, all the women work, and it's just taken as a fact of life because this was the prewar middle class, and the only non-Yiddish one sees in the entire movie is a few Hebrew prayers, a sign in the background, and a single Polish loanword.
Going even further back, one can look at the story of Ruth, which is a very similar narrative to the folktale and has similar themes of virtue bringing good things, but also shows Ruth's disposition directly causing her good fortune and an over-current of economic geopolitics.
As for the glass slipper, one has to remember that glass has no give and was made bespoke for her. It's basically a direct cast of her foot.
glass shoe means form fitted, slightly odd/small foot shape and it'll only really fit her.
also the daring to take a glass sliver in the foot if those break(by magic they don't)
Like you said about you being a male and liking her and her patience. My brother says she is his favorite too for being so kind. And the villain is amazing Chills
Honestly I don't see a lot wrong with this, in fact, it's my mother's favorite Disney movie.
Some people love it and some enjoy it
TBS brought me here
The fact that pretty much anyone could fit the shoe is actually addressed in the movie itself. The king basically says that “Fuck it, the Prince promised it and now he will have to marry the first girl that fits”. It's kind of twisted, but this part of the story is about the King wanting to have grandchildren, seemingly without regard to the Prince's feelings.
The best part of the movie by far is when Cinderella reveals she has the other glass slipper.
Agreed
Doug Walker, you forgot about the Grand Duke. he and the King get the most hilarious parts in this movie. the reason why the Prince is less focused is because he is realistically animated, which is difficult, while his dad and the duke are more cartoony.
He probably didn’t enjoy it which is why they were never mentioned
Lady Tremaine: I finally found it NOW WHO'S GONNA STOP ME
Did Disney ever consider suing Akira Toriyama for plagiarism?
watched it today
You know what's funny. If the evil step family was just nice to Cinderella she probably would have just invited them all to come live in the castle.
Agreed
That's what she ended up doing in Perrault's version ( to the stepsisters at least )
Story 9/10
Animation 10/10
Characters 7/10
Cinderella 9.5/10
I’d give the movie an 8/10 honestly
I feel nothing but hatred for Lady Tremaine. The stepsisters redeemed themselves over time.
Funnily enough, the animated animals likely were purely filler since they did not come from the source material at all and were there to make the fairy tale last long enough to be feature length, similar to what Disney did with the Snow White's dwarves who had no personality in the classic tales and were not named at all. Disney's source materials were sparse, so they added in filler to make the film long enough for theatres.
Yeah I agree with you
This film I think was the one films that saved Disney studios
As a kid I am so happy I grew up with stuff like this and not that Pixar garbage
good film
solid film
Glass slipper fits perfectly and only Cinderella... Falls off twice.... Ok then

Though you did like this more than the 2015 version.
I can't even watch Cinderella wishing I could call the cops on Lady Tremaine , I suppose that the live action version will get the Disneycember treatment
+iHeartRyanStiles You think they had "cops" in that world? And phones?
+iHeartRyanStiles Especially after the sisters tear up the dress. The Walkers said in their Vlog for the new one that that scene is the closest Disney has ever gotten to a rape scene. And they're right, judging by the way that scene is paced and edited. Good Christ, is this scene way more fucked up than I remember it - you can actually feel this innocent character being violated.
TalesOfGamerz yes there was no justice system or a means of quick communication in those days but still, and the only time we've seen justice happen in that case was in a Cinderella Story
D Vass probably a good thing I didn't bother to see it, I mean I would have just paid the fee, sat through Frozen Fever then bailed
+iHeartRyanStiles It will have the Disneycember treatment, I check it out in his wikia. And if you saw the review he did with Rob (the Sibling Rivalry stuff), he has strong feelings about that movie.
"The songs, everybody remembers" Yeah, except for Markiplier and Matthias. "Congratulations, you picked the one Disney movie with no songs in it." XD
Cinderella. I'm here because I'm early. Yeah.
the stepmom always reminded me of Bea Arthur lol
studio ghibli>disney there is no debate
Pretty much. Also Pixar > Disney
there can be a debate since this is not fact but opinion.
TheGoldenAge2 many people like different things, maybe they like the characters maybe they like the animation who knows. People just like different things.
+Jkop, OK, but how do you compare Ghibli and Pixar?
+deonta thomas I actually really dislike most Ghibli films because of the recycled character designs, cringeworthy characters and voice acting, and just plain weird plots. The only film of theirs that I love is Grave of the Fireflies and I also do like Spirited Away. It's really all about taste. I like Disney and Pixar infinitely better, and I hate when people try to present a studio as factually superior.
Cinderella's ball gown is fucking gorgeous!
As a film, it would been in wide screen
I think Doug makes good points here. Theres not too much to Cinderella as a character, but she did maintain a lot of patience. I dont really see it as her waiting around for dreams to come true. Its more like the classic saying "good things to come to those who wait." Okay, maybe that didnt make much sense lol
The other good point is with the Prince. I really dont like the message of the story itself. You see this woman, dance with her and decide that she is the one you want to spend the rest of your life with? Just... ugh. But overall, thats my only gripe with it. I still watch Cinderella from time to time and I still enjoy it.
Yeah
Is it bad that I'm a guy and I like the films from Snow White to Sleeping Beauty, even when they are all about princesses?
I don't know why but, I love the art of the vintage films and I want to say that Fantasia, Bambi, Cinderella, and Lady and the Tramp are part of my favourite Disney films.
I don't know if I'm insecure or embarrassed because, guys should be tougher and like action and violence and any film geared towards boys regardless of time era. In my mind, guys shouldn't like Cinderella at all or like Lady and the Tramp; Peter Pan was for boys and that's all they got. That's my thinking. Am I wrong on this?
The is goddamn magic its literally only support to fit one person.
Still makes the prince not the smartest person but I'm pretty sure he would know if someone was the right one or not ( i.e Cinderella 3 showed what would happen if the shoe fit someone else)
Ever notice the princes dad is Jasmines dad in Aladdin. Looks the same and wants to find a suitor for his child
I never understood why everything disappeared at midnight except for the shoes, let alone the second pair.
To be fair isn’t that in the original fairy tail though especially other adaptations
that death stare
Ah don't know, ah was always distracted by that *bitch* Lady Tremaine to really notice the other characters... Man it felt *good* when ah first saw her gasp in horror as Cinderella presented the second slipper xD Anyway, the movie thankfully had Tremaine-free moments which were enjoyable.
I’d give it a 8.5/10 if anything
The problem with this film is not that it is antifeminist; the problem is instead that it teaches the same thing the actual fairy tale teaches: be nice and don't do anything for yourself and life will eventually get better. You see that more in classical editions, specifically Perrault's and the Grimm Brothers', but the issue is still inherent in Disney's Cinderella because tears, although they allow a release of emotions, do not summon a fairy godmother to take away the woes of life.
Idk Cinderella was always a strong Female character imo. And I didn't get any of that message that your talking abou when I was a kid. I got the message that even tho life maybe tough always look on the positive and work hard. Also I'm sick and tired of all of these movies being called antifeminist. Not everyone has to be super strong and get a weapon and fight. Falling in love with someone isn't a bad thing and isn't being weak. Cinderella for how she grew up and the condition's she was in was a pretty strong character. Like is every man in a movie super strong? Nah not really. Yet we don't bitch about that. It's not a bad thing to be emotional and polite and nice. Modern feminism finds everything offensive tbh so I can't say much.
The tale (as usual) is hardcore compared to the Disney adaptation: the evil step sisters cut their toes to fit the shoe.
+Bender B. Rodriguez That's in the 19th century German version. The presence of Godmother, pumpkin, and glass slipper very obviously show the Disney version to be an adaptation of the 17th century French version. There is an even earlier Italian version, but that one seems to concentrate more on Cinderella's father.
+Bender B. Rodriguez, yeah the Grimm brothers were not the creators of the stories.
bibidi babidi buu put them together and what have you got?
Still one of my favorite Disney classics. But I am a little bit of a soft guy when it comes to Disney anyway.
This is one of the movies that simultaneously makes everyone like, and hate Disney
+moviedude XD *fat ugly femiNAZIS.
moviedude XD
Feminists fight for women's rights in places where they have none. Feminazis whine about, you know, Disney and video games.
+moviedude XD pretty much. Also the people that say Disney is the devil for no good reason
+Jkop I hate Disney as a corporation, their movies I have no issues with it terms of themes as long as they don't look to offend
I disagree
Ah, my childhood/
They could have showed some of his personality through the conversation they seemed to be having near that pond, but I'm guessing they didn't know a way to make that interesting.
They were on a tight budget and schedule, didn't have time to fack around ... 😂😂😂
He had many scene's that ended up being cut including a song about his experience at the ball
I would say the stepmother is more of an antagonist than a villain, I mean did she commit any truly vile atrocities?
Abusing a poor child for almost ten years isn't that awful?
Did they ever do a Old VS New for this Cinderella the the relatively recent live action one?
Yes they did ,and It was kinda disappointed for me cause the remake has a lot of flaws they didn't brought up and focused too much on " BUT IN THE REMAKE THE PRINCE HAS MORE SCREEN TIME ... ! 🤪 " which is good and all but makes him look stupid cause in the remake he knew she wasn't nobility ( both when they first meet AND AT THE BALL ,and If I recall correctly during their first meeting she tells him that she's called Cinderella ...
" It's by royal command and under harsh penalty if not be done that the maiden named Cinderella should present herself to his royal Highness at once " Problem Solved ... ) and yet tried the slipper on woman that should've been disqualified because THEY'RE NOBILITY while the girl he was looking for was a COMMONER ,also, in Perrault's fairytale the ball was an exclusive event for the upper classes ,no common folk allowed .In Perrault's version she comes off as rebellious " Screw societal structures I'm gonna crash that party and have himself a good time" , Perrault's version is drastically different from Disney's 1950 version in terms of themes and characters If they had done some research they could've put the elements missing in the 50's version ( like the story revolving entirely around Cinderella's relationship with her sister's ) .They made a reference to Grimm's Aschenputtel with the completely POINTLESS addition of the brach Cinderella asks her father to bring her back from his trip ( in Grimm's it turns into a magical hazel tree which is the fairy godmother equivalent in Grimm's ) surely they could've added things that were left out from Disney's original film LIKE THE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DYNAMIC IN CINDERELLA AND THE STEPSISTER'S RELATIONSHIP ... !?!?!
😩😤🙄😒☹️🤪😁
This film is such a missed opportunity ,all of the Live Action Remakes really ...
As a young boy i thought it was okay too

I actually joked on the Once Upon a Time facebook page after the live action film came out that, Why do I have a feeling that Lady Tremaine will be the big baddie next season, considering that the success of Malificent brought her back to Once. Well luckily for me Disney's most overrated princess was underused on Once
