Cinderella

Cinderella (1950) is the Walt Disney animated classic you can watch online on iFILM. Orphaned and ruled by a cruel stepmother, a kind young woman waits on her stepsisters by day and dreams of something better, until the palace announces a royal ball.

Cinderella's hours belong to chores and the constant sniping of Anastasia and Drizella. Her real friends are the mice, Jaq and Gus, and the birds who stitch together a dress so she can go. When her stepmother tears the plan apart, the Fairy Godmother steps in: a pumpkin turns into a coach, rags into a shimmering gown, and there on her feet are glass slippers. The magic only lasts until midnight, and one tiny clue is left behind on the palace stairs.

This was Disney's twelfth animated feature and the hit that pulled the studio back to its feet after the war years. Ilene Woods voiced the title role, and the songs "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo" and "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" both earned Oscar nominations. Hand-drawn frame by frame, it raised generations of viewers. Stream Cinderella (1950) online on iFILM.
