Better than Disney's version!!.......2005-06-02

I'm so glad I bought this DVD.This Cinderella version is better than Disney's and the girl is more pretty.And the songs,so beautiful.Highly recommended!!!

WONDERFUL value esp. for the money..........2005-03-06

Our 3 year old ADORES the story of Cinderella. So we decided to get her a DVD. Then the decision became between this and a VHS of the Disney version. Well, we couldn't decide, so we bought both.

As far as film making goes, the Disney one is clearly the better one. HOWEVER, my 3 year old got bored with the Disney one. She did not care about the singing mice and how pretty the animation was. She wanted to see Cinderella and that's that.

This version is the story as we all know it. It is simple, it is easy to watch and it emphasises several times how Cinderella's true beauty came from with in. My daughter LOVED this version SOOOO much that she sat thru it 2x in a row when we first played it.

When I have to 2 side by side, she chooses this version every time. So, with that said, I give it 5 stars. I am not a movie critic, I am a mother and my daughter LOVES this!

Why are adults reviewing these films?.......2004-09-24

I simply can't understand why adults are the ones to review these great Goodtimes films, which are directed to children. I wonder how many of these parents asked their children if they enjoyed the movie before they "threw them in the garbage."

I for one, defend the Goodtimes movies, they are all great for kids, Cinderella is no exception. This version is shorter than the Disney once, that already is a good thing, since we all know how children get tired from watching a movie in a short amount of time.
Anyways, Cinderella is as we all know, the story of the young girl mistreated by her stepmother and stepsisters forced to do all the chores in her own home. Luckily, things are soon going to change when the the four women are invited to a grand ball. Helped by her Fairy Godmother, Cinderella attends the celebration in the fanciest dress.

Songs in the film are lovely, from the opening "Cinderella" to a wicked song by the step sisters "A chance of a lifetime," to "Where have you been all my life?" Music is sweet and pleasent to listen to. Animation is cheap and of course, it doesn't stand up to Disney animation, however, since this a film for kids, they won't pay no attention to technical quality.

Cinderella is another perfect example of a perfect children's film, no violence, pleasent tunes and songs, a nice, entertaining story to watch, what else do you want for your kids? Also, there's the fact that these Goodtimes DVDs are so cheap, kids can practically buy them on their own. It's a shame lovely kids' films like these aren't made anymore, now, it's all violence and stupidity.

By the way, I'll try to avoid further negative reviews by saying that this is the Goodtimes version, not the Disney one.

If it was possible I would have given it 0 stars!!.......2004-07-19

This is the worst adaptation of Cinderella that I have ever seen. I am very upset I wasted the money, I apent 9.99 on this (it also came with an awful adaptation of Snow White), the only reason I purchased it is because Cinderella (the Disney one) is not on dvd yet. We got about half way through both dvd's and threw them in the garbage!!!

Definitely not Disney!!.......2003-10-04

'Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.' OR an attempt to trick somebody into buying a movie based on the quality of another Studio's work. How ironic that "Goodtimes Video" has the same titles as the Disney library. These are fourth cousins of good animated cartoons.
