A Dull But Still Popular Disney Effort

Rating: 5/10 (30 May 2006)

This bland, tepid Disney cartoon remains one of the most popular animated films produced by the studio, but it has none of the visual artistry that distinguished the Disney style in its early days in films like "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," "Pinocchio" and "Fantasia." "Cinderella" acts as more of a transition to the family-oriented Disney of today, that sacrifices artistry and content for popularity and merchandising opportunities.
And, to top it all off, "Cinderella" has one of the most annoying soundtracks of any Disney film. "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo," anyone?
