A Disney classic. Cinderella is a good role model because she does what she is ordered to do and remains happy. Some scenes like when the stepsisters tear her dress may seem a bit scary but everything turns out happy in the end. (I remember when I was in second grade and we watched it - the boys hated it.)

A perfect movie for little girls ages 3 and up!

she is such a prissy girlie type. she is like my prince will come whatever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hate all the conten prince makes little girls dream to much about boys and stuff im a tomboy i may not be into this as well but its just ugh i hate it with all my soul i just want her to live with the mice in the attic.

The animation was a huge step forward compared to the previous films, the mice represent some of the best comic relief characters, and some moments stand up with the best of Disney. What is truly disappointing is that, more than any other Walt Disney film I can think of, the characters are subjected to a single emotion.

While we all love Disney, the typical Disney message is a terrible message for young girls. The message that, "life sucks until some guy comes to rescue you from your miserable life" is not what I want to teach my girls. I want strong, empowered women that will solve problems for themselves when they are grown(sure, have a family while you do it - the guys can). There must be better messages we can send our future women!

My daughter LOVES this, and has for some time now (can't remember whether she was 2 or 3 the first time). The first few times she watched this she was a little concerned during the scenes where the mice are being chased by the cat, but she is overly sensitive on this issue as she is frightened of cats (don't ask me, I have NO idea why). I don't love the fact that Cinderella is portrayed as remaining happy, sweet-natured and uncomplaining whilst essentially being psychologically abused by her step-family. However I think my girl is too little to think in those terms really - she just sees the step-family as "mean and nasty people", so it's not really a problem. When she's older we may have conversations about whether Cinderella might have done better to stick up for herself a bit. What I (and she) do love are the songs (especially Bibbidy-Bobbidy-Boo, and the one sung by the mice while they are sewing Cinderella's dress). Also the villains are not particularly scary as such, they're just unpleasant. Finally, this movie is just generally magical & beautiful to look at. A good introduction to Disney princesses, I think.

Parents should know they metion the death of both Cinderella's parents. This can be hard for young children to understand. Cinderella is a damsel in distress, but is kind and sweet to everyone. The message is that your dreams can come true, and your true friends will help you reach those dreams.

i like it
