Disney’s Classic Cinderella Comes to Blu-ray

When I was first sent Cinderella on Blu-ray, I was instantly amazed at how flawless the animation looked. As a Disney fan, we sometimes take the classics for granted, especially when we so often see different incarnations of the films in the theme parks. When you see Cinderella as a character meet and greet, or hear “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes” countless times, you sometimes forget just where the beautiful story, songs, and images come from. So it was a lovely reminder as to what a wonderful character Cinderella is herself, and the story that unfolds around her.

As with all Disney animated films, sometimes my children have not seen them, or remember seeing them, so it was a treat to introduce Cinderella to my 3 year-old son and re-introduce it to my 12 year-old daughter as well. Cinderella is a great example of a hard worker who still has dreams but doesn’t shirk her responsibilities, certainly something kids and adults need reminding of. Her hard work and dreams pay off in the form of her fairy godmother as she is transformed from the little cinder girl in rags to an elegant lady in a sparkling gown. I just love the movie and the little side stories with the mice, the step-sisters and Cinderella herself.
