Based on the
fairy tale "
Cendrillon" by
Charles Perrault, it is twelfth in the
Walt Disney Animated Classics series, and was released on February 15, 1950. Directing credits go to
Clyde Geronimi,
Hamilton Luske and
Wilfred Jackson. Songs were written by
Mack David,
Jerry Livingston, and
Al Hoffman. Songs in the film include "
A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes", "
Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo", "So This Is Love", "Sing Sweet Nightingale", "The Work Song", and "Cinderella".
At the time,
Walt Disney Productions had suffered from losing connections to the European film markets due to the outbreak of World War II, enduring some box office disasters like
Pinocchio,
Fantasia, and
Bambi, all of which would later become more successful with several re-releases in theaters and on home video. At the time though, the studio was over $4 million in debt and was on the verge of bankruptcy. Walt Disney and his animators turned back to feature film production in 1948 after producing a string of package films with the idea of adapting
Charles Perrault's
Cendrillon into a motion picture. After two years in production
Cinderella was finally released on February 15, 1950. It turned out to be the greatest critical and commercial hit for the studio since
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and helped reverse the studio's fortunes. It is considered
one of the best American animated films ever made, as selected by the
American Film Institute. It received three Academy Award nominations, including
Best Music, Original Song for "
Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo". In the years to come, it was followed by two
direct-to-video sequels:
Cinderella II: Dreams Come True and
Cinderella III: A Twist in Time.
