"Oh, no. No, it isn't
true. It's just no use. No use at all. I can't believe. Not
anymore. There's nothing left to believe in. Nothing." -
Cinderella
Why watch this? Want
a fantastical rags-to-riches story? This is ground-zero.
Plot Summary: Forced
into servitude by her wicked stepmother and stepsisters,
kind-hearted Cinderella maintains hope with the help of her
animal friends. When a royal ball is announced, her fairy
godmother magically intervenes, allowing her to attend despite
her family's sabotage. She captures the Prince's heart but must
flee by midnight, leaving behind a single glass slipper that the
Prince uses to find her.

Dad's Preview:
This time-honored Disney classic story, hatched in a
1689 fairytale by Charles Perrault, populated of dreams
of many a young lady. At the time of its release, Walt
Disney badly needed a hit. This delivered, performing as
big as
Snow
White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), and it saved
the studio. It is both a dramatic musical and a
children's delight. There is an evil Stepmother and a
magical fairy godmother. There's a handsome prince and
wise-cracking mice, who help our little soot girl find
her way. Special attention was paid to add depth to
central and secondary characters alike. The animation
style is classic Disney, as only they could do in those
days. It will do us all a little good to remember, never
give up on your dreams. |
