This legacy began over three hundred and eighty years ago, when the French author Charles Perrault published his story for the first time in 1634. Cinderella or The Little Glass Slipper was destined to become a classic folktale from the beginning. There have been over 500 publications, adaptions and versions of the story since that first publication. By the early 1700's the fairy tale became a popular feature as it was preformed in ballets and operas.

In the past hundred years there have been a variety of Cinderella adaptions that were created for film and television. In 1957 Roger and Hammerstein created a television version that has become a classic. Starring Julie Andrews as Cinderella it was the most widely viewed program in television history.
They then released a new version in 1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren with the same success. In 1997 another versions was created with Whitney Housten as the Fairy Godmother. This version was also adapted for the theater and continues as a Broadway today.
Walt Disney created a seven minute film of Cinderella in 1922 for his Laugh-O-Gram studios. Then he created a full length animated film of the folktale in 1950. The film was a huge financial risk and it almost was not finished. Today this 1950 version continues to be a popular classic film. This past week Disney released a new live action version of Cinderella, the success at the box office indicates it is destine to be another classic. Here is a combination of the 1950 film and new version created by Disney.
