While it has its charms, I never considered Disney's 1950 take on the fairy tale to be worthy of the 'masterpiece' label the studio slaps on all of its animated features.

Reviews for Cinderella

When those little mice bust a gut trying to drag that key up hundreds of stairs in order to free Cinderella, I don't care how many Kubrick pictures you've seen, it's still exciting.
