REVIEWS:

"Mr. Disney and his craftsmen have brilliantly splashed upon the screen a full-blown and flowery animation of the perennially popular fairy tale. .... And particularly they have invented a whole set of minor characters to supplement the story and give the film its most notable charm. .... Whoever engineered the sequence of the pumpkin transformation in this film—the magical change to coach and horses—deserves an approving hand. And the scene in which
Cinderella blows soap bubbles...is one of the cleverest animations yet
seen. To the fellows who dreamed up these fancies we are heartily
grateful, indeed. They have sprinkled into 'Cinderella'—along with
sugar and wit—some vagrant art."
