     Cinderella
1950  NR  ANIMATED  1h 15min
CAST— Ilene Woods, Eleanor Audley, Rhoda Williams, Lucille Bliss, Verna Felton, Mike Douglas
MUSIC— Paul J. Smith, Oliver Wallace  DIRECTORS— Wilfred Jackson, Hamilton Luske, Clyde Geronimi

     This is the real deal. Walt Disney’s timeless classic that all little girls have seen multiple times and all little boys have seen at least once (come on, admit it). You gotta feel for Cinderella; her stepmother despises her, treats her as a slave, lets her evil cat torture her. Basically Cinderella’s life has become a living heck since stepmother took over. But when the king decrees that all of the maidens in his kingdom are to appear at a royal ball Cinderella sees her chance to shine. But of course her steps screw that up as well. It’s a good thing that she has a fairy godmother, there to grant her wish to go to the ball. After that it’s all pumpkin coaches, glass slippers and the like. Marred only by an abrupt ending this tale is sure to please the family time and again. Remade and retold countless times, with varying degrees of success. Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo.
