Walt Disney Studios made the 1950s movie Cinderella,

which was directed by the amazing filmmakers Wilfred
Jackson, Hamilton Luske, and Clyde Geronimi.
Little birds and mice assist Cinderella in getting ready, a
dog saves her, and a wicked cat named Lucifer chases the
birds, pounces on the mice, spits at the dog, all while trying
to prevent Cinderella from seeing Prince Charming.
One of the symbols used in this fairytale is Cinderella’s
glass slippers.
The songs are effectively incorporated and designed to be
sung by characters during poignant moments rather than
simply being in the background, with "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo"
being among the most memorable and catchy and capturing
the children's hearts and minds
Cinderella, for example. Her upbringing hasn't been the
greatest, and the stepmothers and step sisters had
more wealth, which was equated to authority, which
they abused on Cinderella, making her become more of
a lower-class servant, rather than a sister.
There are also other cases like the maids trying to
dress themselves, making themselves presentable to the
prince, all in the hopes of marrying him for nothing
except only his power and wealth.
We can see that Cinderella falls into the underclass
based on the social class hierarchy, so she is the one
who is slaved by her stepmother and stepsisters who
are from the middle class, whereas the prince is from
the upper class and thus has the privilege to choose a
girl to marry.
Cinderella can be considered as a feminist, feminine,
and female.
A feminist because Cinderella because she managed to
break through the oppression of her stepmother and
stepsisters.
A feminine because Cinderella is an embodiment of
sensitivity, sweetness, gentleness, warmth, humility,
empathy, and affection. In the film, it is also shown that
Cinderella willingly gave herself to the prince charming
by marrying him.
A female because she encompasses both the feminine
and feminist traits mentioned above, and she has the
perfect balance for it.
 Personally, this film left an impact or message that tells us
that even in rough times we always should look at the bright
side and be positive. It tells me that I should always practice
kindness because what you show is what other people will show
towards you, even though others dislike you, you should always
be kind to them. It taught me to be grateful to everyone in my
life and not be selfless. Cinderella taught me that you should
always be positive and strong and never give up and always
face the challenges coming into your life. The movie taught me
that if you really love someone you will accept them for who
they really are no matter what they look like or whatever their
occupation is.

 The fundamental moral or lesson that
"Cinderella" offers about how to behave in the
world is that kindness will be rewarded while
selfishness will not. Because Cinderella has the
virtues that enabled her to develop into a strong
young woman, I greatly admire her. She
persisted, and in the end, she managed to get
through her obstacles and live happily ever
after.
-Stephanie Sy
 In my opinion, the first original Cinderella film is the best
of the three. The Cinderella narrative has a storyline and
characters, yet all three versions of the fable contain a
common moral. It teaches humility and kindness. Cinderella's
lesson for children, in my opinion, did not alter as it
progressed from the moral lesson of how to always have
bravery and remember to be kind matter what people do to
us. Despite constant harassment and cruelty, Cinderella
maintains her bravery, generosity of thinking, and good
nature, and she eventually receives recognition. Cinderella's
fairy tale, in my opinion, has a timeless quality due to the
mystical attraction of childhood and the concept of a happily
ever after.

 The film Cinderella is one of the best-known Disney movies
for me, and it always has a beautiful story to watch. What I
love about the film is that the Disney artists provided each
animal with a unique flavor and personality that caused the
children to love and favor it. As we know the target audience
of this film is children, they made it easy to imagine the
situation by using different characters, effects, and scenery.
As today is a different era, I don't think that children today
can appreciate the traditional techniques that have been
used in this film. As time passes, different techniques to
capture the audience have been upgraded, which is why I
think this could be the weakness of this film. Overall, the
story itself is remarkably powerful.
-Kyle Escaran
 The movie is fantastic, in my opinion. The movie has a good
cartoonish interpretation that enhances the beauty of the
movie. I appreciate the concepts and ideas incorporated into
the movie.

The moral lesson of the movie, in my opinion, is to simply be

brave and kind to those around you, no matter what they do to
you. Being "kind" can be achieved in a variety of ways, such as by
being generous, selfless, helpful, appreciative, etc. Even though
Cinderella was not treated in the same manner as her
stepmother and stepsisters, she did treat them well. From the
beginning to the end, she continued to treat them with kindness
and perfection.
-Laurence Viray
 I personally like the film as even though it has a
cartoonish rendition, it actually held ideas and concepts
which are relevant even for all ages. It brings with it a
lesson that children and adults alike should value greatly.

Though it is up to the reader's interpretation, I for one,

think, that the moral lesson of the film is to simply be kind.
While being "kind" can be done in many ways, this is exactly
what makes it valuable as being kind can be appreciative of
others, being generous, selfless, or forgiving. All of which
Cinderella showed flawlessly, from beginning to end.

 Many movie adaptations of Cinderella were created
for the past few years, but the 1950s Cinderella has
always stood out for me, as it does not only highlight a
love story between a girl and a boy but also highlights
social injustices, most notably the social injustice that the
lower class has always been subjected to. What I like
about the movie is that Cinderella is not a typical young
lady; she is a strong woman with strong convictions. The
story was intended to emphasize encouragement and
empowerment, as well as how almost all of your dreams
could indeed come true if you have the willingness and
perseverance to pursue them.
