Product ReviewsCinderella (DVD, 2005, 2-Disc Set, Special Edition - DVD Platinum Collection)

Long-time favorite

Only reason I don't give 5 stars is because the animantion...great at it is...is not as good as it became with later hits like "Peter Pan" and "Lady and the Tramp."

Otherwise, great. Funny, touching, musical, well-paced entertainment.Read full review...

Good cinderalla, poor little mermaid; pirate copy??

We bought this cinderalla, little mermaid combo. Cinderalla was fine. Good quality, seemed genuine. We didn't watch the little mermaid until a couple of months after. This is something fishy with this one. Sound is bad, voices don't sync, colors look washed out, and framerate of recording seems low somehow. I'm assuming we got a pirate copy mixed in. Who knows; perhaps they both are, but one is just a poor job of it. Anyway, be advised you may not be getting a good recording of this movie.Read full review...

A princess comes to DVD

The newest release in Disney's "Platinum Edition" series is the 1951 film "Cinderella". Just about everyone knows the story (nice girl stuck with evil stepmother and stepsisters, Royal ball, fairy godmother, and so on) so I won't waste your time rehashing it but I will say that the Disney writers have put a few unexpected and welcome twists on this familliar tale. Visually it has great animation, beautiful backgrounds and some great special effects animation (remember this was produced in the time before computers and all of the shadows, magic sparkles and bubbles [yes, bubbles] were hand-drawn. The voice performances are good with standout performances by Ilene Woods as Cinderella, Eleanor Audley as the Stepmother, and Verna Felton as the Fairy Godmother. The second disc has a lot of bonus features that I have not looked at yet. By this time you're probably asking, "if it's so great why did you rate it only 4 out of 5?" One word, "mice". They're annoying. They play a key role in the story but that virtue is almost lost due to how overly cute they are portrayed. This DVD will be a welcome addition to your collection.Read full review...

Definitely a pirated movie but very good quality

The movie is clearly pirated. The cover's color and markings are not quite right and the alignment is funny. Cinderella originally was a 4:3 aspect ratio that when jumped to 16:9 ratio is quite "zoomed in". However, it is not very noticeable unless you are a super Disney fan in which the zoom might bother you in some spots. Overall for the price I paid it is good and it's enjoyable to be able to watch an old classic Disney film that isn't ridiculous like all the new movies are.Read full review...

Walt Disney Cinderella DVD

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.Read full review...

Cinderella has not only a beautiful princess but the story line has a wonderful life lesson every little person would benefit from.

The DVD was just what I wanted for my granddaughter. She loves Cinderella and the movie worked perfectly and was great! I'd recommend this to anyone. I had read some bad reviews but I took a chance, and am very pleasantly surprised. I'd definitely recommend taking the chance. I'm so glad I did!Read full review...

COUNTERFEIT! NOT AUTHENTIC DISNEY DVDS!

The disks are lightscribed, not printed like authentic. The DVDs make a loud noise in my DVD player. The covers are printed and not rounded at the corners like authentic. The covers say "disney rewards points inside" but there are none, despite the items being packaged in plastic. If you want fake disks that may or may not play in your player, go ahead and support a criminal....Read full review...

Cinderella DVD, 2005

This Cinderella DVD was ordered after I realized it was the first or second movie I saw in a theater as a child in the 1950's. I wanted my great-grandaughter, Ari'yah, 3 years old, to feel that same magic. When I was about 6 years old the Disney movies started coming out in the theater, and it was such a bewitching time in my life to see Snow White, Cinderella, Pinocchio, and Old Yeller become a part of my personal life. We didn't have dolls, or games, anything but little records to remind us of these movies. We played those records over and over. Like "Biddy Bobidy Boo" from Cinderella.

After receiving the Cinderella DVD, I found that it flipped and skipped when played. I wrote a message to the Seller immediately, who graciously offered another movie because the Cinderella movie was sold out. I chose Snow White because it was my other special movie. The DVD came promptly, but it hasn't been played yet. My Ari'yah is coming to stay with me today, so I'm sure we will play it tonite.

Grandparents today have to try to create the same magic we felt as a child, and to me the magic was in my imagination and playing pretend things. We'll be trying to create our own magic on this visit.Read full review...

Buy it for a DVD of the movie, not the special features.

Nicely remastered DVD, sound and picture is very good. Don't expect much of the special features though. "Cinderella stories as told by ESPN Classic"? Really? "Music video"? What does that have to do with anything other than making money for Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas, among other now unrecognizable personalities. From those bad experiences, I don't expect to put in the bonus feature disc anytime soon. I hope for the 2012 release that at least they have addressed these out of place segments with something more meaningful.Read full review...
