These DVDs were only available on DVD until January 31, 2008. They are now returned once more to the Disney vaults.

Do not despair if you did not get to buy any of the Disney Disappearing Classics. Right now, there are many e-bayers selling these DVDs. Buy them now. Two years from now, one DVD will probably cost over $100 (ex. Beauty and the Beast or Snow White).

Remember, now is the time to buy ! No family or animation fan’s DVD collection is complete without these timeless classics.

In a far away, long ago kingdom, Cinderella is living happily with her mother and father until her mother dies. Cinderella's father remarries a cold, cruel woman who has two daughters, Drizella and Anastasia. When the father dies, Cinderella's wicked stepmother turns her into a virtual servant in her own house. Meanwhile, across town in the castle, the King determines that his son the Prince should find a suitable bride and provide him with a required number of grandchildren. So the King invites every eligible maiden in the kingdom to a fancy dress ball, where his son will be able to choose his bride. Cinderella has no suitable party dress for a ball, but her friends the mice, lead by Jaques and Gus, and the birds lend a hand in making her one, a dress the evil stepsisters immediately tear apart on the evening of the ball. At this point, enter the Fairy Godmother, the pumpkin carriage, the royal ball... I have always been a fan of Cinderella- It's a classic and I will continue to love it.

The movie itself is wonderful. Every little girl, teen, and woman would love to be Cinderella at the ball finding her prince. This edition was suppose to be the 2005 dvd but it is actually the 2001 edition. Either way Cinderella was fully restored and absolutley lovely. The only complaint is just as our heroine is about to meet her Fairy Godmother the dvd stops. It sticks and doesnt continue thru unless I hit the skip button on my remote, only then will it continue on. Wish I knew that before I purchased. Cinderella is the main part of a collection of Walt Disney movies I had lost in a move and trying to re-collect. It is a shame that each time I watch it I have to keep the remote in hand inorder to have the movie continue to play.

Finally, Disney is beginning to release the "archives" of the animation films that made them not only famous, but wealthy.
Cinderella (a la Disney) has had a special place in my heart since the 1940's.

This made my "100 Best" Family Film List.

Very few "Disney" films since the '50's have made that list.

The original "Cinderella" makes it.

I have not viewed, nor reviewed "Cinderella 2". I confess that I have a bias since it was released lately and possibly has Princess Cinderella now, instead of cleaning up around the Palace, or trying to please the Prince, may be instigating revolt among char women of the realm. [Just joking for you folk who don't know the difference].

I bought "Cinderella". (Among the other early Disney films) this year, for my grandchildren's archives.)

If you have not seen the "original", you've been robbed. If you've accepted later Disney animation films, since 1960, you've been robbed of the richness that was the 'Disney Dream'.

"A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes...",

If the Dream fits, wear it. Forget about the shoe.

Watch this film with your grandsons or grandaughters. They will love the mice and birds and songs, and they will surprise you with their responses.

This is one of the most excellent of the Classic Disney films ever, in every production quality available at the time.

This is a really good movie. See it.

Cinderella was one of my childhood favorites.. A must have in your Disney Movie collection. My daughter loves the music and the characters. A delightful story leaving you believing that dreams do come true!!
