One of the many things I love about the Walt Disney Company is their continued dedication to classic stories and folktales. The Cinderella 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 adaptions and versions of the story since that first publication.
Walt Disney first created a seven minute film of a modern cartoon Cinderella in 1922 for his Laugh-O-Gram studios. Here is this fun film.
Then after developing Walt Disney Studios, 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. It was a hit at the box office and was nominated for three Academy Awards. Today this version continues to be a popular classic film. This is the original trailer for the animated Cinderella movie.
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.
The legacy continues for this classic fairy tale, and hopefully it will inspire interest in reading and classic literature for another generation.
