Seriously impressive animation-wise, this animated fairy-tale flows along at a fairly fast pace and is always an enjoyable, even slightly enchanting, experience even though most of its run-time doesn't live up to the moments it has become most famous for, instead being spent on strange asides seemingly only included to stretch the run-time and, as such, slowing the picture down slightly while also dampening its overall effect. 'Cinderella (1950)' is still a classic, though, and plays as well today as it did when it was first released, but the familiarity and, frankly, simplicity of its story makes for a film that isn't particularly complex or even all that engaging beyond its most surface of levels. It's an easy and usually entertaining picture that passes the time quickly but doesn't really affect you all that much. 6/10

Cinderella 4 and a half out of 5Cinderella is latter an entertaining and morale tale, but first an essential tale that takes matter in hand unflinchingly and fuels it up with that particular single most ingredient which is narrowed down here to cultivation. Disney animation never fails to surprise the audience, especially on terms of its layered and though-provoking concept that is so deep and beautifully depicted, that it becomes difficult to grasp it all at once.The script is ahead of its time, as it contains parallel plot tracks and immensely pleasing side characters (even the pet dog of Cinderella has its own journey that creates although textbook, yet an amazing arc in its character) who are given just enough room as the protagonist or antagonist is allotted. Addition to that, the writing is so explicit that in its first act where the concept is just sinking in and setting its plot and characters, the writer takes a wise decision to project the side characters and their own routines or issues that they deal with as the actual concept takes place on the back drop of it. It is rich on technical aspects like choreography, sound department, songs, costume design and editing. The cinematography of the animation is as usual metaphorical and also speaks volume whilst depicting the characteristics of the characters. Cinderella is a smarter and bolder upbringing or the build-up of the peak of the script through its supportive characters and their keen sense of humor.

Let's be clear: a lot of Disney movies are rather oriented for girls: royal romance, love songs, dance and dresses, we boys are not really into that, whatever the feminist and gender extremists would like! If you add the crazy king father, the ugly bad characters (why this link?), the sadistic cat and helpful dog (why this discrimination), the abusive stepmother and stupid henchman, you find finally a universe in which I don't feel happy, in which family love is nonexistent and that's a bit hard!At last, we have those chipmunks-like mice that bring fun and lightness! For me, they are essential to this movie because without them, it would have been simply unwatchable. It's not the speedy, delirious, crazy and funny Sylvester & Tweety but some moments makes me laugh! The other thing i notice is that for that date, this animation was showing the future of the live movies: Colored, powerful visuals and horizon lines, stunning effects, only those things was first delivered then by Disney and it would take 10 years before the gap would be shorten by true movies!If Snow White can appeal to every one, this Cinderella is above all a dream for girls and a honest time for boys!

After her father's death, Cinderella lives under her cruel stepmother Lady Tremaine and her two mean daughters Drizella and Anastasia as their servant. She is kind to the small animals as they avoid Tremaine's cat Lucifer. The King is impatient for his only son to settle down. He arranges for a grand ball so that the prince may choose a bride. Cinderella is eager to attend. Tremaine promises to let her go if she finishes her chores and find a dress. They keep her busy so the little animals help her fix up her mother's gown. However, the stepsisters destroy the gown and she's left behind. Her fairy godmother comes to the rescue but her spell will be broken at midnight.The subject is a little old fashion but it is still plenty of fun. Cinderella is more pro-active than Snow White. She is a compelling character. She is kind-hearted and hard-working. The animals add a lot to this. The first half relies heavily on the mice. The music is light and fun. The songs are memorable. It's an iconic Disney animation and loads of fun overall.
