When I was a kid, the scene with the Cinderella bubbles harmonising with themselves used to make me cry...and today I learned that now I'm in my mid-30s, it still makes me cry 😂 I'm not 100% sure why - I suppose it highlights her loneliness that she can only sing with herself, plus how visually pretty it is. This movie somehow got two sequels. You can skip Cinderella 2, it's completely worthless, but I actually HIGHLY recommend Cinderella 3. It manages to be a great continuation of the story and a modern retelling of it at the same time; they go deeper into the stepsisters and how their mother's abuse effected them; and the Prince actually has a personality - completely unhinged! It's such a fun watch, I really can't recommend it enough. And you're right, before the Disney Renaissance, starting with The Little Mermaid, the three you've watched are the only three Disney Princesses. With Cinderella, they dipped their toes into giving a Disney Princess an actual personality, then decided they'd better wait another 40 years before attempting that again! 😂

Cinderella 3 is my favorite of the Cinderella movies. I met Jennifer Hale (who voiced her in the games and sequels) so it has a special place in my heart. But this movie will always be a classic. Fun fact: the actress for Cinderella was the demo singer for the songs and Disney loved her so much that they casted her as Cinderella. The same thing happened with Pocahontas as well. Demo singers be getting the roles it seems lol

Ever After: A Cinderella Story (1998) starring Drew Barrymore, Anjelica Huston, Dougray Scott, and Melanie Lynskey is my favorite Cinderella story I've ever seen. It's so good, you sometimes forget that it even is a Cinderella movie. It's one of Drew Barrymore's best performances of her career! I haven't seen this original Disney version since I was a little kid! It's too hot outside to do yardwork... so Cinderella it is!

It's been such a long time since I've seen this one, but you're right, it's a lot of fun! Music note: Yes, several very famous songs in here, and a couple of them even went on to be covered by jazz artists -- I'm pretty sure 'So This Is Love' is one, but I don't recall who covered it; and then there's this absolutely delightful rendition of 'Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo' by Louis Armstrong: https://youtu.be/TUC8mecR_wA?si=fliuiXC0paYyDWHA And a fun fact: My first Disney movie was also The Little Mermaid...or so I'm told. I would have been maybe 2 at the time. My parents took a big risk bringing a toddler to the theater, but by all accounts it went well. I certainly remember watching it ad nauseam a little later on, lol.

I remember this being released on home video was a huge deal. When they started the VHS releases they were sure the release would kill re-release value so they only released the lowest performers starting with Pinocchio which my grandmother stood in line to pay $70 for. Cinderella was the first of the top grossers to be released after it was proven people would still see it in theaters. My first Disney movie at home was Dumbo taped off of TV.

There were two versions of Cinderella in the 50s. This and the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical starring Julie Andrews. Disney acquired the Rogers and Hammerstein in the 90s to make with Brandy and Whitney Houston, which confused everyone with it not being the Disney songs but still being 50s song writing.

Two voice actors will be back for Sleeping Beauty. The evil stepmother is also Maleficent and the Fairy Godmother is one of the fairies in Sleeping Beauty.

I'm sure there are volumes written as to what went wrong in the many years prior to The Little Mermaid. I should check one out.

That's awesome! Sometimes, talent wins out. You aren't the only person to say Cinderella 3 is really good, too.

I loved taping movies off TV (not to brag, but I had all the Lethal Weapons). I do remember the VHS releases from the vault (in the bulky plastic cases) were REALLY expensive, so my family did not partake.

I COMPLETELY forgot about the R&H musical version (I had a small role in it in summer theater in college; how did I forget about that one?!)

Oooh, let me tell you about the original fairytale!! Because most original fairytales often were brutal and bloody before they got "Disneyfied" (those medieval Germans didn't play)... In the OG, the Ugly Stepsisters actually mutilate their own feet trying to fit into the glass slipper! One cuts off all her toes, fits into the slipper, and the Prince is taking her to the Palace to marry her when he looks down, and the floor of the carriage is drenched in blood. So he ditches her and goes back to the house! Then the other chops off her heel, and fits into the slipper, so the Prince is going to marry her, but animals come to the smell of the blood. I kinda like that part, in that it shows that already back then, women were asked to hurt their own bodies to fit into beauty standards, and that Noble men cared so little about women, that they would actually marry whoever fit the appropriate mold! In fact, there's a Swedish indie horror movie that opened a couple of months ago, titled Ugly Stepsister, that apparently explores the whole idea as a body horror story and has great reviews. I haven't seen it yet, but sounds really interesting. Oh! Also, in the OG, you get your wish for punishment: the Evil Stepmother and the Ugly Stepsisters get condemned to wear red-hot iron shoes and dance to death. I told you they didn't play!

I still love this for all it's quaint charm and funny slapstick, though! This was a favorite of my grandma's, so it gets bonus nostalgia points.
