Critics Consensus

The rich colors, sweet songs, adorable mice and endearing (if suffering) heroine make Cinderella a nostalgically lovely charmer.

On her own, Snow White could have just been a one-off fairy tale heroine. But with the success of Cinderella, the very idea of the “Disney princess” archetype was born.

Cinderella is Walt Disney at his best. That means delight for the kids of the world and their worried parents, too.

Walt Disney's Cinderella -- without any qualification that comes to mind -- is one of the most delightful bits of entertainment ever shown on a screen.

You could argue that Cinderella is worth rewatching in 2019 for the animation — which truly is gorgeous — but that also gets you into some quagmire thanks to the poor 2005 Diamond Edition restoration that Disney continues to re-release...

Coming out of the roughest period in the studio's history, Cinderella might be a simple feature but remains an effective return to the princess narrative.

I wouldn’t let me post my review and I’m not sure what was wrong with it but anyways… The summary iso absolutely loves this movie. I loved how spicy Cinderella could be. She’s such a down to earth type of princess. The prince was spicy too, super sarcastic and free willed. He knew what he wanted and went for it. It was literally love at first sight. I loved the anima side kicks in this movie, especially Jack. They pretty much pushed this movie further. The side characters were all bubbly and a beautiful addiction. The music and art was stunning. If there’s anything bad I could say about, it’s possibly that they didn’t go into detail about her mother or how her father died. A bit of world building couldn’t have hurt. However it’s nothing I would complain about because I love this Disney movie. Animation/details: 9/10 Story: 7/10 Morals: 8/10 Comedy/entertaining: 10/10 Songs: 9/10 Prince/love aspect: 6/10 Villain: 4/10 Animal side kick(s): 8/10 The Princess/Lead: 8/10 Ending: 10/10 Score: 79/100 Would you watch again: absolutely

Com cores vibrantes e canções doces, Cinderela conseguiu se tornar a minha princesa favorita da Disney,com uma história envolvente e uma mensagem linda no final,sobre acreditar nos seus sonhos e nunca desistir,um clássico memorável.
