Director

Directors associated with the Disney animated feature film Cinderella.

The review notes that production began in 1948 using live-action reference models alongside animation, that characters such as the mice (Gus) and the cat Lucifer appear, that the Fairy Godmother sequence includes the song "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo", and that Cinderella achieved significant public success that helped restore the studio's finances.

The review frames Cinderella as a crucial, risky film that restored Disney's fortunes after a difficult decade. It highlights the film's mixed critical reception but strong public success and financial importance. Production techniques noted include live-action reference models and rich background design. The first part is praised for comic set pieces; the finale and visual effects are singled out as memorable.

For:Fans of classic animation, Disney history, and film students

 "Cinderella was the most risky and crucial film - in respect to the future of the studio - since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. However, the atmosphere around the initial phases of Cinderella's production was not at all as electrifying as it had been for Snow White. For the studio to thrive, it needed a success, but no one thought that Cinderella would be a leap in the advancement of animated drawing art as Snow White had been." (Michael Barrier)
