Talk:Cinderella (1950 film)

Requested move

This page needs to be moved to Cinderella (1950 film) as per the naming convention set out at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films). Ianblair23 (talk) 23:28, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

• Oppose
  • Are you seriously requesting that all pages with (movie) in their titles be renamed to the same thing ending in (film)? There are a helluva huge lot of them.
  • IIUC, "movie" is more of a US term while "film" is a more British synonym (though I guess both are understood on both sides of the Atlantic). According to WP:MOS#National varieties of English, when talking of something from the US (like a Disney film/movie), US terminology should be used.
  • In the light of the above two remarks, I interpret Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) as applying mutatis mutandis, with the word "film" replaced by "movie", to North-American productions.

Fair use rationale for Image:Cindyposter.jpg

Image:Cindyposter.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Trivia

Removed trivia section. Most of it was merged into the History section, and some of it was obvious IMDB-level movie trivia. Outski. Mhoskins (talk) 06:52, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Is this trivia or relevant to the article?

No one can explain why the glass slipper didn't change at midnight, just as everything else that was created by majic, changed back to it's orignal form. Execpt, that If the glass slipper had changed at midnight, then the prince wouldn't have been able to use it to find Cinderella.204.80.61.110 (talk) 20:56, 27 March 2009 (UTC)Bennett Turk

Sources for the production section?

Can anyone tell me what the sources are for the "production" section of this article? I'm specifically looking to verify the claim that:

"Walt Disney reportedly cut the scene because he thought it made Cinderella look 'spiteful' and felt the audience would lose sympathy for her."

I've not been able to back this up yet. Anyone know?

67.173.210.195 (talk) 15:17, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

There are no sources at all for that entire section, which is too bad because it looks like good information. I've tagged the section for references. Powers ^T 13:52, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Merge proposal

I come with this proposal to create a List of Disney's Cinderella characters and merge there Lady Tremaine and Gus and Jaq, as well as to move the Disney depictions of the Stepsisters into that article, as well as Lucifer's section which is already merged into Lady Tremaine. The list will also include sections on Prince Charming, the Fairy Godmother and more. This is primarily because almost none of these characters have managed to prove notability outside Cinderella. By this, I mean coverage by a vast amount of reliable secondary sources or impact in popular culture. Thoughts? --LoЯd ۞pεth 06:38, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Why not. The Ugly sisters article as is, lends too much weight to the Disney depictions. I don't think that the other two really merit a standalone article.   pablo_hablo. 09:32, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Since there was no opposition within a week and no improvement of the articles, the mergers are being performed. --LoЯd ۞pεth 06:36, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Reception

In the reception page it says that Disney Studios did not have a major success since Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. In fact, Bambi grossed $66 million in the box office - not too shabby - and Pinocchio grossed almost as much Cinderella did at $86 million. Both these films were made before Cinderella and after Snow White; I suggest removing this false fact. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.12.13.60 (talk) 03:53, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

And Dumbo was a financial success. Shouldn't that be mentioned too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MonkeeJuice (talk • contribs) 19:33, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Budget

Accordomg to the article, the budget was $2.9 million. Where does this number come from? In Neal Gabler's book about Walt Disney, the budged is mentioned to be $2.2 million. 84.210.60.115 (talk) 21:21, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

If true, it should be changed ... please provide citation information for this book you mentioned (title, page where info appears, etc.). --McDoobAU93 01:51, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Release section

I added a new release section to fit the MOS:Film. Does anyone have good sources for the early release dates? --TravisBernard (talk) 18:37, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Home Media update

I was thinking about adding to the home media section of this article since Disney recently shared a press release announcing the film's Diamond Edition Blu-ray release.

Typically I would move forward with these changes, but I have a WP:COI working on this article. I am aware of the Wikipedia community's policies regarding WP:NPOV, and would like a second opinion before going forward. If I do not hear back in the next couple days, I will proceed under the impression that these edits are acceptable.

--Togna bologna (talk) 13:51, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

My understanding of WP:COI is that you can still edit the article, but must be very careful with what/how you edit. Also, I would think that being honest about your conflict will subject your edits to greater scrutiny; that may sound bad, but if what you say is verifiable and properly sourced, it shouldn't matter who wrote it. As WP:COI also says, "When someone voluntarily discloses a conflict of interest, other editors should always assume the editor is trying to do the right thing." --McDoobAU93 16:36, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Saw that someone went ahead and made a nice update to the home media section. I removed amazon.com as a reference, and re-formatted their citation from blu-ray.com. Home media section looks great!--Togna bologna (talk) 15:00, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

{{Request edit}} On editing the Video Game section

Can i edit a section on The Video Game Section of Cinderella please?--98.196.40.126 (talk) 21:10, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Edit request on 3 January 2013

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.

Cultural impact and legacy

The below passage erroneously implies that the Smithsonian quotation references the 1950 Disney film instead of the folk tale that inspired it:

Smithsonian magazine discussed how Cinderella endures and resonates, saying: "Dozens of other filmmakers have borrowed elements of the tale, starting as early as 1899 with a French version directed by the pioneering filmmaker Georges Méliès." 2601:19C:4000:B950:6D79:F338:E85A:310C (talk) 15:43, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
