Cinderella

Cinderella was made in 1950 set in a French kingdom. Cinderella fits in with some of the happenings of the late 1940's. Her hair is the most noticeable to this as a medium short wavy cut seemed to be pretty popular.

Also the story line could be said to follow the transition the 1940's went through. Cinderella experiences turmoil for the majority of her life, like world war 2, and in the end gains her own independance. Women were also going through this as men went to war the ladies left behind found their voice.

I would say that the amount of fright that comes from watching this movie is very minimal. This time the "witch" character is her fairy godmother who is a nice person and she does good for Cinderella. The stepmother and sisters, along with their cat, are the evil forces in this movie.

And because cats always try to eat mice and an unlikeable parent and siblings doesn't seem too harsh I would only give this movie two slippers out of ten. Cinderella is an overall 'happy ending' movie :).
