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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

a true cinematic fairytale

When those little mice bust a gut trying to drag that key up hundreds of stairs in order to free Cinderella, I don't care how many Kubrick pictures you've seen, it's still exciting.
