Disney Cinderella DVD

Walt Disney's feature length animated movie Cinderella was originally released in 1950. Ilene Woods provided the voice of Cinderella and Eleanor Audley voiced the wicked stepmother. And by the way, Eleanor Audley can now be heard as the voice of Madam Leota in the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland and Disney world. The year Cinderella was released it received an Oscar nomination for best musical score including the catchy song "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo." The story of Cinderella holds up very well, even by today's standards. Cinderella lives under the constant cruelty of her unsympathetic stepmother who treats her like a slave. And to make matters worse, Cinderella is constantly teased and tormented by her two stepsisters. But through it all, Cinderella maintains a kind and loving heart which she generously shares with the local birds and animals while she dreams of a better life for herself. Then with the magical help of her fairy Godmother, Cinderella's life begins to change dramatically. With a wave of her magic wand, the fairy godmother transforms Cinderella into a vision of beauty and sends her on her way to the Royal Ball where she meets and falls in love with the handsome Prince. But as the clock strikes midnight, Cinderella seems condemned to a life as a slave to her cruel stepmother. Then, just when all seems lost, with the help of a very special glass slipper, Cinderella meets the Prince once again. The two are married and live happily ever after. Today, the magic of Cinderella lives on. The Cinderella castle still stands as a shinning centerpiece at both Disneyland in California and Disney World in Florida. And now, Walt Disney's original Cinderella has been released for the first time ever as a very special edition DVD. This is a dream come true for collectors. And this special release gives everyone that grew up with the Cinderella story the opportunity to rediscover this truly classic movie. And now our children and grandchildren can discover the magic of Cinderella for the first time. Some things never change and thankfully Walt Disney's Cinderella is one of them.
