The familiarity and, frankly, simplicity of its story dampens its effect; still, it's a classic for a reason.

Rating: 6/10 (14 July 2018)

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
