Cinderella (1994 Video)
6/10
A OK version of a old classic

They have a rather childlike way of telling the stories and have to explain a lot. Now when I say a lot, I mean it! They have 4 minutes explaining everyone they hired for the ball (Ok… maybe I'm exaggerating a bit but still…). In order to not show any death, they changed the story a bit and just sent the father on a long trip. They also brought the godmother in way to early as well, before the trouble really got started. She kept using her magic many times to make Cinderella laugh. If she was going to make her laugh, couldn't she just of did the chores for her? This makes the story feel a bit too cutesy for my taste but it is a children's tale.

I like how they made the two step-daughters have different traits. One is always eating and the other is rather tall and like sticks. Sometimes though, they went a little too overboard in some aspects like having the fat one holding a drumstick as she was playing bat mitten.

Now… a lot of the godmother's magic seemed to be rather forced to the point that she had birds eating a pumpkin to hollow it out. She also forgets the horses until someone reminds her. She is a very absent minded Godmother.

The artwork is actually rather plain but it has its small charms to it. Sadly, most of it seems like it took from Disney in the style meaning it loses some of its own personality. When it comes to the ball, A lot of the hair styles really don't seem to work in the real world. They seem to go against gravity in many areas.

The voices fit the characters looks rather well and don't feel boring mostly. There really isn't much to say except it's all very standard. I don't really like how they kept singing.
