During production, Walt Disney pioneered the use of double tracked vocals for the song "Sing Sweet Nightingale", before it had been used by artists in studio recordings such as The Beatles.
When Ilene Woods had completed the days recording of "Sing Sweet Nightingale", Walt listened and asked her if she could sing harmony with herself. She was apprehensive about the idea as it was unheard of; though she ended up singing the double recording, including second and third part harmonies. Ilene Woods reveals the innovation in an interview. For the first time, Walt turned to Tin Pan Alley songwriters to write the songs.
The music of Tin Pan Alley would later become a recurring theme in Disney animation. Cinderella was the first Disney film to have its songs published and copyrighted by the newly created Walt Disney Music Company. Before movie soundtracks became marketable, movie songs had little residual value to the film studio that owned them and were often sold off to established music companies for sheet music publication.
Woods beat exactly girls for the part of Cinderella after some demo recordings of her singing a few of the film's songs were presented to Walt Disney. However, she had no idea she was auditioning for the part until Disney contacted her; she initially made the recordings for a few friends who sent them to Disney without her knowledge. Reportedly, Disney thought Woods had the right "fairy tale" tone to her voice.
Disney had not had as huge a hit since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs though Dumbo was also a huge success , so the production of this film was regarded as a major gamble on his part. The film was a huge box-office success and allowed Disney to carry on producing films throughout the s. It was the 5th most popular movie at the British box office in The overview of the film is, "The rich colors, sweet songs, adorable mice, and endearing if suffering heroine make Cinderella a nostalgically lovely charmer.
In June , the American Film Institute revealed its "AFI's 10 Top 10"— the best ten films in ten "classic" American film genres—after polling over 1, people from the creative community.

And her miraculous rise to stardom is a real Cinderella story.
This time, Cinderella story is evoked without any reference to overcoming hardship. The concept of a Cinderella story seems to further depart from the tropes of the Perrault fairy tale over time. This modern retelling of Cinderella carries all the familiar characters and major plot points and is a story about a Cinderella-like character named Sam.
Returning to Cinderella stories that have little to no resemblance to the Cinderella of Perrault, the Grimm brothers, or Disney, the question arises: do Cinderellas have to be women?
Not at all. The silent film The Cinderella Man tells a rags-to-riches story of a man, with a love story thrown in for good measure a wealthy woman pretends to be poor so the male Cinderella figure will love her. The film Cinderella Man is a biopic of real-life heavyweight boxing champion James J. In true fairy-godmother fashion, Rhonda lends Sam her old wedding gown to help the high-schooler prepare for the homecoming masquerade dance which replaces the ball seen in previous movies.
Sam ends up having a romantic time with Austin at the dance, but when she has to rush off to make it back to the diner by midnight, she drops her cell phone instead of a glass slipper. Like other versions, Austin goes on a hunt to find his "Cinderella" by using the item she left behind. Unlike other adaptations, "A Cinderella Story" doesn't end with a wedding — instead, the happy couple ends up going to college together.
Although most "Cinderella" adaptations feature the main character in some form of servitude to their stepfamily, "Ella Enchanted" takes it one step further — the protagonist, Ella, is under a spell that forces her to obey every command she is given.
The film primarily follows Ella, played by Anne Hathaway, on her mission to find her fairy godmother and have her undo this spell. The journey results in her meeting a collection of mystical characters that no other retelling of "Cinderella" seems to have — ogres, elves, and giants, to name a few. That said, there's still a love story at the core of the film — Ella falls for Prince Charmont — and she does attend a ball, but there are still major differences from other popular adaptations.
For example, in the end, Ella is a bit of a heroine when she saves the prince from being poisoned; Past films haven't really seen Cinderella in a hero role. Plus, this film features a variety of modern songs, such as Queen's "Somebody to Love," instead of an original score. Another modern retelling of "Cinderella," t his version stars Selena Gomez as Mary Santiago, a high-school student with dreams of being a dancer.
From the very beginning, Mary's situation is different from what we've seen before — she is forced to live with her cruel legal guardian not a stepfamily after the death of her mother not her father.
In the film, Mary falls for Joey Parker, a famous pop star who comes back to his high school to reconnect with his roots. Mary later has a romantic encounter with Joey at the school dance and she is also wearing a masquerade mask, as we saw in "A Cinderella Story.
She then runs off to meet a curfew, leaving behind only her Zune a now-defunct portable music player that was popular in the s for Joey to use as a clue to find her. In this adaptation, Cinderella's dress is vastly different from all others.
It's short, bright red, and is accented with long black gloves. This film doesn't feature any magic, either. The fairy godmother role is taken on by Mary's best and only friend in the movie, who helps her prepare for the big dance. Kenneth Branagh's adaptation was produced by Disney as part of the company's string of live-action remakes of animated classics , so it's not surprising that the film stays true to the original version.
For starters, many key details from the movie are present in this one — Cinderella who goes by Ella , played by Lily James, is once again blonde and wearing the iconic blue gown. Magic is highly involved in the film's plot, and this retelling also features classic imagery like the pumpkin turning into the carriage and Cinderella's transformation from rags to ballgown.
This film does differentiate itself from the animated version by providing more backstory regarding Ella's absent parents. The movie also throws in the twist that the prince, whose name is Kit, is hiding within his own line of guards as they go from house to house looking for the girl who fits into the glass slipper.
In April, it was announced that Grammy-nominated pop singer Camila Cabello will star as the titular character in an upcoming "modern reimagining" of "Cinderella. Set to be released in , the film's plot has largely been kept under wraps. Although the details of the film aren't yet available, it's safe to assume that this version of the classic fairytale will surely stand out from past "Cinderella" remakes, as it features a Cuban-American lead as Cinderella and is set in modern times.
In addition, Cabello is reportedly very involved in the discography of the film, which could mean the film will have a soundtrack that is more pop-centric than what we've heard in previous "Cinderella" adaptations.
