Tremendous comeback

Rating: Null/10 (9 July 2015)

In 1950 Disney finally returned to full feature animations with Cinderella, one of their greatest comebacks to date. A film that quite literally saved Walt Disney Animation Studios and allowed them to continue shaping our childhoods.
It's also the first fairytale film Disney had produced in a long time, featuring only the second Disney princess at the time of its release. A film of many returns and a film that helped to solidify what a Disney film was to mean.
And it's a fantastic film in its own right. The animation is once again some of the best ever made, which must have been a true treat for the audiences at the time after a full half of a decade of nothing but shorts of varying quality. Here the quality is topnotch, though we still have a few films to go before Disney would once again start to push the medium forward with Sleeping Beauty.
The story is of course a classic, and nowadays the version almost all think of when they hear the name Cinderella. Disney has always been at its best when it's doing adaptations, this being no exception. The best parts of the original fairytale are transformed into the silver screen experience we've all come to love.
If I had to name one problem, I have to admit that the mice are a bit annoying now that I'm an adult. As a child I don't remember minding them at all, but now... Oh well, it's no like they ruin the film, so it's a minor flaw.
Cinderella is an important film in Disney canon. It's also one of the better Disney films ever made. A true classic, and if for some reason you haven't seen it already, please do.
