This Cinderella clip is a Disney 1922 version. It is the same as the classic Cinderella tales we discussed in class. In the clip, Cinderella has a cat as her only friend. In most of the tales, she usually is at one with nature. Even though in this clip Cinderella doesn’t sing and clean with the animals, she clearly gets along with her feline friend instead of her sisters. This brings me to another point; in this clip Cinderella’s father and evil step mother are not mentioned or shown. She does however have two “lazy and homely” step sisters that do not allow her to go to the ball. The prince is shown as “a wonderful fellow” who likes to hunt bears. Whenever Cinderella makes it to the ball, (with help from her fairy godmother of course) everybody is very tall except from Cinderella and the prince. How convenient! And of course, they fall in love and he finds her in the end.
I really liked this clip because it defiantly showed the time period from the following:
- The fact that it was black and white
- There was no spoken dialogue
- Cinderella did not arrive to the ball in a carriage but in an old fashioned car
- Cinderella wore a flapper dress to the ball
