Worry not, Disney fans--this special edition DVD of the beloved iCinderella/i won't turn into a pumpkin at the strike of midnight. One of the most enduring animated films of all time, the Disney-fied adaptation of the gory Brothers Grimm fairy tale became a classic in its own right, thanks to some memorable tunes (including "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes," "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo," and the title song) and some endearingly cute comic relief. table align=left cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" trtd align="center" img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/cinderella-slipper-small.jpg" border=0 align=top br span class="tiny"The famous slipper (click for larger image) /span /td/tr /table We all know the story--the wicked stepmother and stepsisters simply won't have it, this uppity Cinderella thinking she's going to a ball designed to find the handsome prince an appropriate sweetheart, but perseverance, animal buddies, and a well-timed entrance by a fairy godmother make sure things turn out all right. There are a few striking sequences of pure animation--for example, Cinderella is reflected in bubbles drifting through the air--and the design is rich and evocative throughout. It's a simple story padded here agreeably with comic business, particularly Cinderella's rodent pals (dressed up conspicuously like the dwarf sidekicks of another famous Disney heroine) and their misadventures with a wretched cat named Lucifer. There's also much harrumphing and exposition spouting by the King and the Grand Duke. It's a much simpler and more graceful work than the more frenetically paced animated films of today, which makes it simultaneously quaint and highly gratifying. i--David Kronke/i p bDVD Features/b p For another of its classic films, Disney delivers another dazzling DVD with a gorgeous, razor-sharp picture and 5.1 sound. (Note: the 1949 film is properly presented in full-screen format, 1.33 aspect ratio, because widescreen films weren't made until the '50s.) The best part of the supplemental features is the archival material, the absolute highlight of which is two unused songs, "Cinderella's Work Song" (in which Cinderella imagines multiplying herself a la the Sorcerer's Apprentice) and "Dancing on a Cloud." table align=right cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" trtd align="center" img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/cinderella-godmother-small.jpg" border=0 align=top br span class="tiny"Bippity-boppity-boo! (click for larger image) /span /td/tr /table Because these numbers were never animated, they're accompanied by stylish illustrations from the Disney artists, and they're simply marvelous to look at. The artist of much of that material, Mary Blair, gets her due in a 15-minute featurette, while the better known "Nine Old Men" are the subject of a round-table discussion among some of today's top animators. In addition, a 38-minute documentary covers their contributions to specific characters of ICinderella/I as well as the film in general and the vocal cast. Also on the historical side is "The ICinderella/I That Almost Was," tracking the development of the project through decades of original Disney concepts, characters, and songs, including the 1922 silent "Laugh-o-Gram," which is also included in its entirety. table align=left cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" trtd align="center" img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/cinderella-pumpkin-small.jpg" border=0 align=top br span class="tiny"The pumpkin transformed (click for larger image) /span /td/tr /table p Additional musical material includes three radio programs and a short promo of the movie by Perry Como, in which he summarizes the plot amid some songs by the Fontaine Sisters, star Ilene Woods, and the host himself. Seven other unused songs (17 minutes total) are available in audio-only. The material for kids is on the sparse side, consisting of two music videos, Disney Channel personality Sally (from "Mike's Super Short Show") learning how to become a princess with the help of the IExtreme Makeover: Home Edition/I crew and others, a minor dancing-princess feature, and a DVD-ROM design studio. Oddest extra: ESPN's "top Cinderella stories," including the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team and Joe Namath's New York Jets, although stories on Mia Hamm and tennis's Williams sisters should appeal to the film's primary target audience of young girls.

 Cinderella January 7, 2009
P. Parillo
After having a bad experience with a prior Disney DVD purchase I was a little nervous to try again, but I am glad I did. The DVD arrived quickly and was in perfect condition. It had the original factory seal and all the inserts. I gave it to my 4-year old grandson for Christmas and he loves it. I had seen the original movie in a theater when it first came out in the forties and it was always my favorite too. I wanted my grandson to be familiar with the characters before we go to Disney World in the spring and now he can't wait to dine with Cinderella in the castle.
Excellent Product and Fast Service January 7, 2009
Kimberly R. Detrick (Cincinnati, OH)
The product was brand new and with no flaws. It arrived in a fast time frame.
 Difficulty with the display January 7, 2009
Marc (MA)
Not the best DVD (difficulty with formatting, and subtitles displaying). Also, has some skipping. I will keep shopping for a better version of this DVD.

 Cinderella Two - Disc Special Edition DVD December 29, 2008
Linda Duckett
This movie has brought great joy to my 3 year old "Princess". The case was broken when we received it but I had another one that worked just fine and we are glad to have this movie, in good condition, for our little granddaughter. She thanks you and we thank you.
