Cinderella (Walt Disney's Masterpiece) [VHS]

We love this movie, and so did our kids.

Well they restored the negative a while back for previous releases, but they had a company completely recolor the films and degrain everything. Safe to say it was a weird modernization that most purists did not like. Anything shot on 35mm was subject to this process of some sort. Many of the films did not fare well, some of them being utter disasters, e.g., The Sword in the Stone. But now we have what looks like the most faithful image to the negative that anybody has seen. They again rescanned the elements, and professionally processed the scans, yielding proper tones and colors; finally that clean and lovely silver blue dress is as it should always be, and line art has been faithfully restored as well. You don't have to ask to many questions here. This is a SUPERB transfer among Disney's best. It's only the second grainy film behind The Little Mermaid (1989) to be released on 4K so far, but it's among the best transfers you will see this year. Absolutely stunning. The audio seems more or less the same from previous releases, but that's not really a bad thing in my book. This release comes with a remastered bluray. I for one am keeping all my old slips and steels because they are worth quite a bit. The packaging of the slip here is pretty nice for current Disney, but it just has a little embossing on the titles and 100 logo. Nothing like what we had in the bluray age with debossing and embossing and all kinds of cool details on slips along with the best steels we have ever seen. Sad to say the steelbook for this 4K release is one of the worst ever made. Stay clear of that thing. Overall, a mesmerizing accomplishment. Cinderella finally looks like it should. The slip and packaging are very good, and I could not ask for anything more from this release.

Love this animated movie!

Look great, be you for my great daughter

Classic movie for grandchildren was a hit!

I love this movie

CINDERELLA--2-Disc Special Edition, Released 10-4-05/Rated G/74-minute run-time Walt Disney's 1950 animated classic, "Cinderella," was originally inspired by Charles Perrault's fairy tale "Cinderillon." As the twelfth edition in the series of Walt Disney Animated Classics, "Cinderella" became a saving-grace for the studio [which had previously suffered considerable losses on "Pinocchio," "Fantasia," and "Bambi"]; the success of "Cinderella" put Disney back on track for the first time since the release of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" and allowed Disney to form its own distribution company. "Cinderella" currently holds a rating of 97% from Rotten Tomatoes. "Cinderella" joins "Aladdin," "Sleeping Beauty," and "Mulan" in my list of favorite Disney Princess-Movies; despite being a pretty independent female, I rewatch these movies often not only to reminisce with my childhood, but also because, for a moment, it can be very comforting to fantasize about living a fairy tale. I hardly ever watch the `special features' from DVDs, but for this movie in particular, I thought they were extremely interesting; the behind-the-scenes clips provide insight on how many of the Disney Animated Classics came to be as well as describe the process of creating some of my favorite animated films. DIRECTORS: Clyde Geronimi, Hamilton Luske, and Wilfred Jackson. SONG WRITERS: Mark David, Jerry Livingston, and Al Hoffman. CAST: Ilene Woods as Cinderella, Eleanor Audley as Lady Tremaine, Lucille Bliss as Anastasia Tremaine, Don Barclay as Footman, June Foray as Lucifer, Betty Lou Gerson as Narrator, Luis Van Rooten as Grand Duke/King, Jimmy MacDonald as Jaq/Gus/Bruno, William Phippe as Prince Charming, Rhoda Williams as Drizella Tremaine, and Verna Felton as Fairy Godmother. Cinderella's style and grace are credited to influences from both her live-action model, Helene Stanley, and her voice actor, Ilene Woods. Prince Charming, modeled after Jeffrey Stone, initially played a larger role in the film; some of the cut scenes survive in the video game "Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep." SUMMARY: A widowed aristocrat wants his gentle and sweet daughter, Cinderella, to have all the fortunes life can offer, including a mother's care. Hoping to fill this void, he marries the cunning Lady Tremaine--who also has two daughters, Anastasia and Drizella. The stepsisters serve as foil characters to Cinderella; they are rude, annoying, and inherently jealous of Cinderella's grace and beauty. When her father passes away, Cinderella is left as the mercy of her new step-family who, in turn, force Cinderella into servitude. Over the years, Cinderella is treated like a slave by the Tremaines and their cat, Lucifer; Cinderella finds comfort in Bruno, her dog, and by befriending several mice that inhabit the estate. The mice also provide much of the movie's comic relief as well as a voice for the frustration Cinderella must feel regarding her poor treatment. Meanwhile, the King is determined to see his son marry. Hoping the Prince will find love soon, the King tasks his Duke to plan a grand ball in which Prince Charming will be made to dance with every eligible maiden in the land. Lady Tremaine is determined to see one of her daughters marry the Prince, so when Cinderella requests to attend the ball, her stepmother agrees on the condition that Cinderella first completes an impossibly long list of chores. Resolved to see Cinderella to the ball, Jaq, Gus, and the other mice get to work on making a dress; they borrow an unwanted string of beads and sash from Drizella and Anastasia. Somehow, Cinderella manages to complete her chores in time to leave for the ball; a surprised and fearful Lady Tremaine notices Cinderella is wearing her daughters' discarded beads and sash, allowing Drizella and Anastasia a reason to tear apart Cinderella's gown. With nothing to wear to the ball, Cinderella is left behind and the Chateau while her stepsisters ride off to meet the Prince. All of Cinderella's woes culminate as she weeps in the courtyard. Suddenly, her Fairy Godmother appears to bestow on her a ball-gown, carriage, and glass slippers for her dainty feet; the only caveat is that the spell with end at the stroke of midnight, meaning Cinderella must hurry. At the ball, the Prince is bored and unimpressed with the maidens--at least until he catches a glimpse of Cinderella. Prince Charming sleeps Cinderella away into a dreamlike love. Just before midnight, Cinderella remembers the spell and quickly runs away before her stagecoach and gown are turned back into a pumpkin and rags; the only clue the Prince has to his love's identity is a glass slipper left behind on the palace steps. In order to find Prince Charming's mystery Princess, the Grand Duke takes the glass slipper to every home in the kingdom, attempting to find the lady it fits. Suspecting the Cinderella is the mystery princess, Lady Tremaine locks her away in the attic bedroom. Suspense peaks when the Duke arrives at the last home in the kingdom, the Tremaine Estate. Jaq and Gus scramble to steal the bedroom's key and carry it up the steps to free Cinderella. Drizella and Anastasia fail to cram their feet into the glass slipper; the Duke is just about to leave when Cinderella breaks free. In a final stand, Lady Tremaine sees that the glass slipper shatters before it can be tried on Cinderella's foot--killing any chance of identifying her as the mystery Princess. All hope seems lost, that is until Cinderella reveals that she has the other slipper; it's a perfect fit.

Wonderful Walt Disney rendition of the timeless classic. Animation at it's very best and an absolutely gorgeous 4k transfer.Highly recommended
