“Cinderella's background paintings remind me of grand stage sets for a Viennese Operetta by Johann Strauss. Everything is exaggerated in order to enhance a dreamlike, sentimental mood. The movie was made on a shoestring budget, yet its visual presentation is opulent and luscious. You combine that with rich storytelling, and you get a classic for the ages.” - Andreas Deja
