Cinderella (1950) The film won the Golden Bear Award for fairy tale films at the 1st Berlin Film Festival in 1951.
The story is based on Andersen's fairy tale "Cinderella". Long, long ago, a rich girl was demoted to a maid by her vicious stepmother after her father died. But the girl is not sad and still lives happily. The girl has made many animal friends in her life, including mice, birds, big dogs and horses. This morning, the girl, led by other mice, rescued an imprisoned mouse. Later, the housewife raised a vicious cat and began to bully the mice. At the same time, the king of his country was anxious about his son's marriage, so he proposed to hold a ball for all unmarried girls in the country to participate. When the news reached the girl's house, the stepmother's two ugly daughters were very excited, and the girl was also very excited. All three of them wanted to participate, and on the surface they continued to agree to the girl's request, but she arranged a lot of work for the girl, so that she had no time to decorate her own dress. Seeing all this, the animal friends secretly helped her organize her dress. However, the stepmother found that the girl's clothes had many decorations thrown by her daughter, so her daughters immediately tore up the girl's clothes. The girl saw that she was about to miss the dance, when the fairy godmother appeared and helped the girl arrange everything, but it would all disappear at midnight. In this way, the girl came to the king's ball and fascinated the prince, but because of the limited time, the girl fled at midnight, leaving only a glass slipper. To this end, the king ordered all the girls in the country to try on these shoes, and those who could wear them would become the prince's bride. When the king's hand came to the girl's house, the stepmother already knew that the girl was the owner of the shoes and locked her up. At a critical moment, the mouse rescued the girl and asked the girl to try on the shoes. However, the stepmother tripped over the king's men, and the glass slipper was shattered on the spot. However, the girl quickly took out another glass slipper and put it on her feet. In this way, the girl and the prince got married and lived happily ever after.
Not much needs to be said about this movie. Because its theme is very single, like fairy tales, it is the old routine of "good people get good rewards and bad people get bad rewards". Such movies are only used to educate and entertain children, and are not suitable for adults to watch. Indeed, watching this fairy tale cartoon was a bit difficult for me - it took two days to finish it.
The filming is very good. Judging from the time when the film was produced, there is no change in the times at all. The color of the film is bright, the expressions of the characters are delicate, and the music is beautiful, which is no different from the current 2D animation. In particular, the expressions and eyes of the girls in the film can clearly distinguish the emotions of the characters, which surprised me very much! It can be seen that this film really deserves the Golden Bear Award. At the same time, this film also reflects the superb technology of Disney animation. This is a film from 60 years ago!
Finally, I would like to praise the film's perfect music, which is almost the hallmark of disco cartoons. About music, there is only one word to describe it: nice! It's just that I think it's a Taiwanese match. The songs of this track have been changed to be sung in Chinese, so it sounds a bit awkward.
in conclusion. This is a very traditional cartoon. Although the story of "Cinderella" is already very cliché, the film is still vivid and excellent, especially the "cat and mouse" in the film. Therefore, although it is generally a decent cartoon, it is still suitable for children to watch.
