Reviews for Cinderella
Top CriticExcellent animation, marvelous color, and lovely music make Cinderella a delight all the way around.

This 1950 effort shows Disney at the tail end of his best period, when his backgrounds were still luminous with depth and detail and his incidental characters still had range and bite.

Top CriticConsidering the army of craftsmen who work on a Disney cartoon film, it is hard to give individual credits, for the memorable qualities.

Top CriticAs usual, everything is slightly glossy, soppy and hearty, yet not a string is left untwanged.

Top Critic...there's no denying the overall effectiveness of this familiar tale.

Of all the Cinderella stories on film, this one has the most villainous stepmother (voiced by Eleanor Audley) and the most charming mice.

While it has its charms, I never considered Disney's 1950 take on the fairy tale to be worthy of the 'masterpiece' label the studio slaps on all of its animated features.

Far from the peaks of Pinocchio or Sleeping Beauty, but still a solidly enjoyable Disney venture.
