Cinderella (Two-Disc Special Edition)Cinderella (Two-Disc Special Edition)

A 1950 film that is great as ever. Disney cleans up the plot of the Cinderella fairy tale, adds a supporting cast of animals and scores it all with catchy songs.
Cinderella II - Dreams Come True (Special Edition)Cinderella II - Dreams Come True (Special Edition)
Buy used from: $18.00
Four-year-olds may like this 73-minute film, which is really a collection of three shorts. In "Fit to Plan," Cinderella fights tradition as she learns to be queen. In "Tall Tail," the Fairy Godmother makes mousemate Jaq human so he can fulfill his wish of being more useful. And finally, stepsister Anastasia finds love with a baker in "An Unusual Romance." My opinion? Gag-me-with-a-wand awful.

When Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters steals the Fairy Godmother's magic wand, Lady Tremaine turns back time and casts a spell on the glass slipper so it fits on Anastasia's foot. Actually not that bad, much better than Cinderella II.
