	Cinderella - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Forced into a life of domestic servitude, hence the nickname, as she was forced to tend the fireplace, Cinderella accepts the help of her attendant spirit ("fairy godmother") who transforms her to attend a royal ball and attract the attention of the handsome prince.
		Cinderella is oppressed, and does nothing about it; a magical event takes her to a powerful prince who is so taken with her appearance that he chooses her as his consort (it is assumed that she will accede), decorative, but existing only as an adjunct to him.
		Cinderella's father (Baron Hardup) is under the thumb of his two step-daughters the Ugly sisters who are jealous of Cinderella and cruel to her.

	Cinderella (1950 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the film, a young girl abused by her stepmother and step-sisters is still able to go the ball and win her prince, with the help of a fairy godmother, a half dozen mice, and a pumpkin.
		The film was directed by Clyde Geronomi, Hamilton Luske and Wilfred Jackson, adapted from the fairy tale "Cinderella", drawing primarily from the version by Charles Perrault.
		Cinderella was the first full-bodied feature produced by the studio since Bambi in 1942; World War II and low box office returns had forced Walt Disney to produce a series of inexpensive package films such as The Three Caballeros, Make Mine Music and Fun and Fancy Free for the duration of the 1940s.

	A lot of messages in "Cinderella"
		While the 1950 animated film might be the first thing that comes to millions of minds when Cinderella is mentioned, the story of the woebegone girl existed in folklore long before Disney turned it into his most popular character save Mickey Mouse himself.
		Perhaps the most familiar versions of the story in the Western Hemisphere are "Cinderella," which was written in the 17th century by Charles Perrault, the author of the "Mother Goose Tales" and "Aschenputtel" — yet another name for the girl — published by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm in their 19th century collection of 200 folktales.
		For instance, he incorporates a scene from the Grimms' story in which Cinderella — neglected by her father and abused by her stepmother and her daughters — visits the grave of her birth mother and plants a twig that grows into a tree.

	Cinderella (1950)
		However Cinderella's fairy godmother steps in and magically creates another for her, as well as transforming a pumpkin into a coach and the farmyard animals into coachmen, so that she can attend.
		The most noticeable variation is in having - this, remember, is a Disney film - the mice that get transformed into the coachmen and horses, plus most of the farmyard animals, able to speak to Cinderella and be her best friends.
		Cinderella is another of Disney's eternal virgin princesses who radiates an almost divine beatitude and kindness but is utterly bland as a character - she lacks the essential open-eyed plaintiveness and adorable cuteness that makes other Disney heroines such as Snow White, Lady, Beauty and Ariel memorable.

		In the movie "Cinderella" when Cinderella is washing the floor & Lucifer tracks dirt all over the floor, when they show the footprints, you can see that some of them are not footprints, but hidden Mickeys.

		When the stepmother locks Cinderella in her room, the key she uses has a Hidden Mickey formed by three circles on the "head" of the key.

	Cinderella: The importance and popularity of the fairytale - www.ezboard.com
		"Cinderella" isn't high on my personal list of favorite tales, but my own theory is that America loves a good make-over (now, we even have them with plastic surgery!), and the sudden (and sometimes magical) change from drudge to "pretty as a princess" is a pretty good, dramatic make-over.
		I chose this one primarily because it is the version that Walt Disney adapted for the 1950 film release.
		Also, note that Cinderella is the only blonde in the entire kingdom, to judge from the ballroom scene, thus suggesting that to be blonde is to be the most beautiful.

		Cinderella, Prince Charming, Ilene Woods-Shaughnessy (voice of Cinderella) and June Foray (voice of Lucifer the cat) walk the red carpet.
		The film was not restored to its original state at the time of release; instead the original artwork was used as a guideline to make a pristine restoration without being limited by the original image capture mechanics available back then.

		One of the most enduring animated films of all time, the Disney-fied adaptation of the gory Brothers Grimm fairytale 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.
		Cinderella herself is sugary sweet, and while she may not be the ideal role model for young girls in today's world of strong women, she is likeable and she shows us the value of friendship, hope, and faith.
		Cinderella includes a nice selection of original songs, including the adorable "Cinderelly", the sweet "So This is Love", and the classic "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes".

	Cinderella (1950)
		The film moves at a charming pace with loads of wit, especially through the mice, who're more adorable than Cinderella herself.
		Also on disc one is the 30-minute "Cinderella Stories," a somewhat odd ESPN presentation hosted by Joe Namath (!), which parallels the Cinderella story with famous sporting achievements, like the 1980 Olympic ice hockey team and the career highs of soccer star Pelé.
		We presume "underdog" and "Cinderella" mean the same thing, but it's an intriguing addition, possibly offering something for all those daughters' dads purchasing the disc.

		Before movie soundtracks became merchandisable, movie songs had little residual value to the film studio that owned them and were often sold off to established music companies for sheet music publication.
		Cinderella is one of the more endearing characters to come from a Disney feature, her stepmother and stepsisters some of the meanest, and her mice and bird friends, some of the most charming.
		Memorable scenes include the "Nightingale" number, with Cinderella's reflection in the soap bubbles, the evil sisters tearing her dress to shreds, her arrival at the ball, and the trying-on of the slipper.

	Film: Warren Miller's Journey
		To enter a Warren Miller film is to glimpse a kind of parallel universe of physical exhilaration, a wish fulfillment dream of vast pristine spaces where the normal rules of mundane existence just don't apply.
		In his lazy drawl, he eases us into the notion that life is for living, that the adrenaline rush of falling down a mountain mixes well with milder forms of self-indulgence.
		Film number 54, called simply Warren Miller's Journey, begins in Portillo, high in the Chilean Andes, where adventure and play are kind of the same thing.

		Released in 1950, the film became a much-needed hit to put the Disney name back on the film world's map.
		On the first night of this special engagement, Disney invited some of the "Cinderella" cast and Disney animators, plus the film's restoration heads, to a Q and A panel before the film began.
		Digital Images, under the supervision of Dave Bossert and John Lowry, the film has been restored for both 35mm film and digital presentation.

		Various details, names and outcomes have obviously changed with each version, but the fundamental story has remained roughly the same: "Cinderella" is the story of a young woman, kind but unappreciated, who is eventually rescued from her difficult life by someone of royalty.
		Disney's film department was in financial trouble as Cinderella neared completion, having only one major hit in their 1939 debut feature, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
		Looking back on an animated film that's over 50 years old is usually tough, but the charm and skill on display in every frame makes it feel more like a trip home.

		The MPAA rated Cinderella G. Any child who has ever balked at being asked to clean their room or perform a few household chores will certainly relate to the hardships of Cinderella in Disney's 1950 animated adaptation of this fairytale.
		But this is more than her cruel stepsiblings can take and in a flash, they tear up any hope she might have had for a night out.
		The Cinderella story also implies that hard work is a punishment, and that living happily ever after means a life of leisure.

		Film and television adaptations continue to be popular as well-from Disney's classic animated film of 1950 to the remake of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical featuring a racially diverse cast in 1997 to the decidedly independent Cinderella character played by Drew Barrymore in Ever After in 1998.
		After her stepmother and evil stepsisters leave for the party in a hearse, Cinderella Skeleton visits a good witch who sends her off to the ball in style.

		Actually, Disney's restorers are the ones really responsible for this impressive update, which doesn't merely return the 1950 film to its former ballgown-wearing beauty.
		That's a marked contrast to "Cinderella," a film that remains special mainly because of its timeless magic.
		But there he is, hosting the 33-minute ESPN Classics documentary "Cinderella Stories," a look at 10 of the top underdogs in sports history.

		Instead, she'll mercilessly lock Cinderella in her garret room, away from her one chance of happiness.
		"Cinderella" was the first Disney animated feature to be completely shot and then edited in a live-action reference version before being committed to cel and ink.
		This new style of pre-production added a more "live-action" feel to the way the film was drawn, probably reflected most clearly in the quick-cutting scene where the evil sisters rip Cinderella's made-over gown to rags.

	Walt Disney - Mickeypedia: The Disney Encyclopedia!
		When the rest of the film industry learned of Disney’s plans to produce an animated feature-length version of Snow White, they dubbed the project "Disney’s Folly" and were certain that the project would destroy the Disney studio.
		The finished film premiered at the Carthay Circle Theater on December 21, 1937; at the conclusion of the film the audience gave Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs a standing ovation.
		The military films did not generate income, however, and Bambi underperformed when it was released in April 1942.

		I was hoping the newly released Cinderella would sing praise to her original animators, but clearly the studio felt some things just had to be updated.
		Shame really, because otherwise Cinderella is a timeless classic, (its' story stil the same), it is funny, touching, magical and hopeful and for some less fussy fans it will make a wonderful Christmas pressie.
