Worry not, Disney fans--this special edition DVD of the beloved Cinderella won't turn into a pumpkin at the strike of midnight. One of the most enduring animated films of all time, the Disney-fied adaptation of the gory Brothers Grimm fairy tale became a classic in its own right, thanks to some memorable tunes (including "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes," "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo," and the title song) and some endearingly cute comic relief.We all know the story--the wicked stepmother and stepsisters simply won't have it, this uppity Cinderella thinking she's going to a ball designed to find the handsome prince an appropriate sweetheart, but perseverance, animal buddies, and a well-timed entrance by a fairy godmother make sure things turn out all right. There are a few striking sequences of pure animation--for example, Cinderella is reflected in bubbles drifting through the air--and the design is rich and evocative throughout. It's a simple story padded here agreeably with comic business, particularly Cinderella's rodent pals (dressed up conspicuously like the dwarf sidekicks of another famous Disney heroine) and their misadventures with a wretched cat named Lucifer. There's also much harrumphing and exposition spouting by the King and the Grand Duke. It's a much simpler and more graceful work than the more frenetically paced animated films of today, which makes it simultaneously quaint and highly gratifying.Czech / Česky
Nejslavnější klasická Disneyho pohádka, Popelka, okouzlila svým příběhem plným nádherné hudby a milých postaviček již celé generace diváků. Nyní byl navíc obraz digitálně restaurován a rozšířen pro své první vydání na nosičích domácí zábavy. Mávnutím kouzelného proutku vyčaruje Popelčina dobrá víla z obyčejné dýně nádherný kočár a z Popelčiného roztrhaného oblečení překrásné šaty. A pošle ji na královský ples, kde si Popelka zamiluje do prince. Ale Popelka se z plesu musí vrátit dřív než odbije půlnoc, protože pak kouzlo vyprchá. Ke šťastnému konci pohádky bude ale zapotřebí pomoci odvážných myšek, Popelčiných kamarádek, a jeden ztracený střevíček musí najít svou pravou majitelku ...
