my life has not known peace since finding out that her dress is actually white

❝A dream is a wish your heart makes when you're fast asleep. In dreams you will lose your heartaches. Whatever you wish for, you keep. Have faith in your dreams, and someday, your rainbow will come smiling through. No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true.❞

A lovely adaptation of Charles Perrault's fairytale, Cinderella is an enchantingly executed film full to the brim with heart and loveliness. Ella is a very heartwarming protagonist, and you can't help but root for her after seeing the cruel treatment she endures from Lady Tremaine and her stepsisters. The scene with the fairy godmother is absolutely magical, and I love her silver ballgown so much (I hate that Disney made so much merch of her in blue that people forgot her dress is supposed to be silver). Prince Charming is a little bland, but I guess I can't complain too much since he's not the main character, and he does have more personality in the sequels. I'm not a huge fan of all the animal friends, and honestly not much would've changed if they'd been omitted. The animation is beautifully done, though, and the soundtrack is absolutely magical; I tear up whenever I hear 'A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes' and 'So This Is Love'. Overall, Cinderella is a delightful film, and it's easy to see why it saved Disney from bankruptcy.

this movie is called ‘cinderella’, but the mice are the true main characters

i’d be lying if i said this movie wasn’t disappointing on a rewatch. it’s not like it was one of my favourite disney movies or anything, but it was just a lot better in my head. i still think the story book, hand drawn animation is gorgeous - and a lot better than modern day disney. while the songs don’t hold much to mulan or the little mermaid, there’s still some really fun songs that are relatively memorable. besides that, this movies biggest advantage is it’s villain: lady tremaine, which is honestly my second favourite disney antagonist, behind maleficent. i honestly just wanted more scenes with her, just because of how realistic her character is in comparison to others - her psychological cruelty is the thing that makes her so powerful, plus she’s just a really over-the-top character that scared me a lot as a child. my main problems consist of the annoying subplots, lille the cat and mice dynamic, which takes screen time from cinderella (the protagonist, who were supposed to care about) i thought the first 40 minutes were bleak, mainly because of this. cinderella is also probably one of the worst princesses, she’s just so passive and lets everyone around her do things for her, while i do feel bad for her to an extent - she just lacks a personality. the prince was even worse, he has no dialogue and one of the most boring characters ever. by the end, the only thing i actually cared about was the visual talent, rather than the undeveloped romantic ‘love at first sight’ story (also, the ugly stepsister is way better but i guess that just goes without saying)

Cinderella made me believe in dreams and that being grateful is one of the most magical things I could have. I’m grateful for having watched this as a kid, and I’m grateful now for watching it again and falling deeply in love with it.
