Cinderella

This is a compact telling of the Cinderella fairy tale and the film is elaborately staged. It’s more cinematic than a lot of the other films of this time, using some real locations and three-dimensional sets rather than simple painted backdrops. There’s an impressive effect where a wall blows in to reveal what is happening elsewhere in the story world. I found the film a little dull overall though due to the overly familiar story.
