Great animation, sure. Great film? Hardly.

Rating: Null/10 (2 July 1999)

"Cinderella" was one of the breakthrough films of its time, with some great animation work. However, I hardly see it as a "classic fairy tale". It's certainly not a very inspiring story. What lesson does it teach? Stick around through suffering which you have no right to suffer, and your fairy godmother will come and save you. If you're going to show it to your kids, try waiting it out a bit until he, she, or they are old enough to distinguish between fantasy and reality. That, or hope that you're a darn good parent.
