Summary: A Cinderella Fairytale But Where is the CD?
Review: FINALLY the beloved movie musical that I have watched (an editted version) over and over again as a child has come to DVD! The cast is superb, the lavish sets truly make it magical, the story follows the classic fairytale -- HOWEVER character and plot developments take several twists and turns that adds depth and interest to this well-known story. But WHERE OH WHERE is the soundtrack?! I would give an arm and a leg to have it. Truly a wonderful experience for all ages.

Summary: Finally
Review: I have been looking for this for years! I saw it on tv and tried to tape it, however my vcr messed up and it wound up on 2 tapes with missing parts. It was a relief to finally see it for sale! (you bet i snatched it up first sight!)The Music in this production is the real attraction to me and I hope to see a soundtrack soon.

Review: Its wonderful seeing this classic out on DVD. I first saw this on a Philadelphia station showing a print that had already gone purple, and it was still amazing. Treat yourself-its wonderful!

Summary: When, when and when? will the CD come out????
Review: This is my all-time favorite movie/musical. I love it! I know all the songs by heart. When I was ten, I danced around our family room to the vinyl record until it was all scratched up until every song skipped (you now have to be a certain age to get that). Anyway, it was my favorite movie and still is. Everyone in your family will enjoy this movie, but if you have a little girl-this is the movie she must have because it's the best version of Cinderella she'll ever hear and funny too! And, if you're lucky, this movie may become one of those perfect childhood memories- it sure is one of mine.

Summary: Great quality transfer, but don't buy it for the extras!!
Review: Look, it's a gift from the heavens that this is a clean, letterboxed transfer with good sound. It's very much like having obstructions moved from both your sight and hearing. I've never seen the film looking this nice, having only seen it on tv in that other (worse) alternative to Pan'n'Scan--where everybody's 10' tall and very very thin. The restored footage is also fun for fans, but does slow the pace of the film. The extras are nothing to write home about. The commentary suffers from old-duffer syndrome: "dubbing" is defined for you and a running obituary list of actors no longer with us are elements, and the rare anecdotal gems are, well, rare. The documentary is period from the film, and while it's nice to have it archived, is nothing really special. Chapter stops are good, but a little too infrequent for my taste. Overall, get it if you want to see the movie in the clear (finally!), but not if you're intent solely on the extras.

Summary: Search Completed!!!
Review: I first saw this movie on TV when I was just about five. I loved it but didn't get to see alot of it because they cut parts out for TV, and I was young so I don't remember it. I have always loved the story of Cinderella and hope to meet my own one day. I liked this movie so much my dad tried to tape it when I saw it that one time but messed it up trying to convert from the little tape to the big VHS tape. so I had forgot about it until about a month after my nineteenth b-day, it was on TV. It made my day! It was on at night, I woke up at 3:00 to tape it, and I got it. Then a friend had found it on DVD. I loved it!!! Seeing the whole movie and on DVD is quite a combo!!! DVD made it so much more enjoyable especialy for the first time b/c It's got musical #'s in it and with DVD the sound is better.......I really enjoyed the interviews. One of the parts my dad cut out was the end. I knew they got married, but I never got to see what happened, Until just recently! By far one of the best versions I've ever seen!!

Review: I waited for a long time for this movie to come out on video. It is the most beautiful production of the classic story of Cinderella I have seen. The music is wonderfully uplifting, the characters beleivable, and the costumes are gorgeous. A great way for adults to dream away an afternoon!

Summary: I Loved the Movie
Review: I absolutely enjoyed this movie considering I have seen it in it's different versions. The music and the story are put together beautifully that it makes the original Cinderella story look like a fantasy. This movie is the best version that I have viewed of the Cinderella saga.

Summary: Classic story, new twist.
Review: I have seen this movie at least four times and every time, I cry when she leaves the castle (if you've seen the movie, you know what I am talking about). I am not overly senimental but the poignancy and Ms. Craven's lovely voice make that scene superb. But that is how the whole movie is. Though overshadowed by Rogers and Hammerstein's version and Disney's animated, this is just as good if not better then either of them. I strongly recommend this for anyone who believes that while true love does exist, it is not as easy as the fairy tales make it seem.

Review: The first time I watched this movie was when I was in grade school. It was a class project, and it was shown on a big screen ! Magical ! I always liked musicals and this one stayed on my mind. Now, twenty years later, I can still recall the scenery, the songs, the costumes, etc. Watch it with the whole family. Wish I can see it again. :-)
