What's left behind the scenes
- During World War II, the production of full-length animated films was suspended (the last one released was 'Bambi' in 1942). By the late 1940s, after several years of making training films and advertisements, funding was restored, and Disney employees decided to choose the story of Cinderella for adaptation as a return to Disney's 'roots'.
- Ilene Woods was chosen from 309 applicants for the role of Cinderella, after demo recordings of several of her songs were presented to Walt Disney. But she had no idea she was auditioning until Disney contacted her; she originally made a recording with a few friends who sent the recording to Disney without telling her a word.
- When Cinderella sings 'Sing, sweet nightengale,' three air bubbles form the ears and head of Mickey Mouse.
- The film is based on the fairy tale of the same name by Charles Perrault.
- Cinderella was the first animated film released after World War II.
- Ingrid Bergman served as the prototype for Cinderella.
- When Cinderella sings "Sing, sweet nightingale," three bubbles form the ears and head of Mickey Mouse.
- Lucifer the cat was modeled after animator Ward Kimball’s cat named Fitzie. While preparing to work on “Cinderella,” Kimball couldn’t decide how to depict the villainous cat for a long time, until one day Walt Disney himself came to his house to discuss some work matters. Throughout the entire conversation between Disney and Kimball, Fitzie persistently rubbed against the guest’s legs, not giving him a moment’s peace. Finally, Disney, who didn’t like cats, exclaimed: “Kimball, that’s a real Lucifer for you!”
- To save money, the animators drew Cinderella’s pumpkin carriage as if floating in the air, because otherwise they would have had to painstakingly draw the rotating wheels in detail.
- When Walt Disney had enough resources in the late 1940s to return to feature-length animation, he couldn't decide whether to release this film or “Alice in Wonderland” first. Ultimately, he organized a competition between the cinematographers working on both projects, to see which film would be better and finished faster. Work on “Cinderella” was completed first, and it was released in 1949, while “Alice in Wonderland” appeared in theaters only in 1951.
- Walt Disney hadn't had any truly significant successes since “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” (1937). Walt Disney Productions was on the verge of bankruptcy, and its debts exceeded $4 million. If “Cinderella” based on Charles Perrault’s tale had failed at the box office, the studio would have ended. As a result, “Cinderella” became a real hit in terms of box office receipts, and, according to film critics, the best film since “Snow White,” as well as the first major commercial success since the release of “Song of the South” (1946).
- According to animator Mark Davis, at least 90% of the film was initially shot with actors and miniatures on film, and then traced over. Dancer Ward Ellis served as the model for the prince. Cinderella's carriage was copied from a miniature.
