"As delicately designed as a glass slipper and blissfully colored with a glowing palette....One of the studio's most endearingly realized romantic treasures." 10/01/2005 p.128 New York Times
"The colors are simply astonishing, particularly the bold, bright reds..." 10/04/2005 p.E3 Chicago Sun-Times 7 of 10
Walt Disney's Cinderella (1950) is considered by the studio to be a perennial that blooms every seven years or so, just in time for a new generation of kids. It has been several generations since I saw it as a kid, although when I saw it again the other day it was clear that it hadn't changed that much in 37 years and neither, in certain ways, had I. - Roger Ebert
