Cinderella (1950)

  If you're not aware, Disney releases classics from their vault every couple of years, but only for a limited time.  If you don't grab a copy then, you're stuck waiting for the next anniversary to roll around unless you're willing to pay obscene amounts of money on Amazon.  I've been trying to convert all my old VHS for a few years now and I only have about three left to do.

I picked up Cinderella a couple of years ago but I just got around to watching it the other day.  Man, this thing looks amazing on blu-ray.  Every color is incredibly vibrant and the soundtrack has been completely remastered.  Of course, because the blu-ray is so good, now you can see every single time the animation doesn't match the recorded track but that's easily forgiven.

Cinderella (Ilene Woods) dreams of going to a ball at the King's castle but her evil stepmother (Eleanor Audley) has other plans, namely her own two daughters Drizella (Rhoda Williams) and Anastasia (Lucille Bliss).  But with the help of her animal friends and a boost from her fairy godmother (Verna Felton), Cinderella discovers that dreams do come true.
