The wicked Stepmother and the Ugly Sisters are very well characterized.

Reviews for Cinderella
As usual, everything is slightly glossy, soppy and hearty, yet not a string is left untwanged.

Cinderella is beguiling proof that Walt Disney still knows his way around fairyland.

Yes, it's beautiful, and yes, it's classic. But it's also got rather a bland pair of lead characters. That said, it's still enjoyable family entertainment, and shall remain forever so.

The Disney film that comes closest to pure cinema

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

A trim hour and change worth of Gerber life lessons.

The story has great charm, wit, humor, and zip, everything to entertain kids and adults alike.

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 Criticthe mice are the reason to see this movie

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.

Excellent animation, marvelous color, and lovely music make Cinderella a delight all the way around.

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