WWTD 018 - Cinderella: Sensible Dark Flats

In the very first episode of We Want The D, Vicky, Nolan and Jill talked about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the very first Disney animated feature and as a consequence the very first of their 'Princess' films. There are a lot of similarities between that 1937 film and 1950's CINDERELLA. Both have bland main characters who have close relationships with animals, poor relationships with their step-mothers, and fall in love with a Prince with less than a dozen words exchanged. But Cinderella is far more successful for a multitude of reasons. First and foremost - a fat mouse named Gus. But also a King obsessed with having grandchildren and his loyal Duke who he attempts to murder a few times; a pair of stepsisters with giant feet and featureless, tube-like figures; and a pretty spot-on depiction of a jerkwad cat. In short - the story may be just as bland, but there's some surprising laughs to be had. Hop in  your pumpkin carriage, slip on your glass slippers and elbow-length gloves, and get ready for another episode of We Want The D!
