## Description

### Original 1992 release

The timeless story of Cinderella remains one of Walt Disney's finest achievements of all time. Burdened with endless chores, Cinderella holds fast to dreams of someday escaping her drudgery. With help from her friends Jaq and Gus, a fairy godmother and some "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo" from a magical wand, Cinderella's breathtaking triumph is the original "rags to riches" story that provides unparalleled, everlasting entertainment. Brilliantly told through romance, fantasy and Oscar-nominated music, Cinderella is a classic adventure for one and for all.

The kind and beautiful Cinderella dreams of romance and a better life while serving the selfish needs of her wicked stepmother and two jealous stepsisters. With the help of her mischievous mice friends Gus and Jaq and a little 'Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo' from the wand of her Fairy Godmother, Cinderella meets the handsome Prince Charming at the Royal Ball, but as she flees the castle before the stroke of midnight breaks the spell, Cinderella leaves behind her glass slipper ... leading to the ultimate fairy tale ending!

And Cinderella remastered to its original luster and featured Oscar-nominated music and some of the most memorable scenes in cinematic history, Cinderella is an enchanting dream come true!
