On February 15th, 1950, Walt Disney’s Cinderella (1950) had it’s pre-worldwide release in Boston, Massachusetts. It would be released worldwide on March 4th, 1950, grossing a total of $182 million dollars at the Box Office and earning three Oscar Nominations: Best Original Song “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo,” Best Sound, Recording, and Best Music, Scoring of a Motion Picture. This film saved Disney’s animation studio from having to close its doors as the films they released throughout the ‘40s failed to equal the success of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) i.e.: Pinocchio (1940), Fantasia (1940), Dumbo (1941), and Bambi (1942). “Cinderella,” spawned two direct-to-video sequels: Cinderella II: Dreams Come True (2001) and Cinderella III: A Twist in Time and was later re-adapted for live-action by director Kenneth Branagh released on March 13th, 2015, right around the time of the original’s 65th anniversary. In honor of the fact that the original will soon celebrate its 73rd anniversary I thought I would share with you all a picture I drew of Cinderella’s castle. Hope you enjoy!
