Disney Animators' Collection Littles Cinderella Mini Set

Product Information

Laugh-O-Grams: Cinderella (7:24) – Walt Disney’s first version of Cinderellawas made in Kansas City and was set in the 1920s as a modern fairytale. Remake: Cinderella's Mother • Lizard Footmen • Mr. Goose • Captain • Town Crier • Sir Francis Tremaine Color grading has been an area of controversy for Cinderella on home video as well, with the previous Blu-ray master definitely having some issues in that regard. While different people may have their own preferences, it’s impossible to judge what’s truly the most accurate to the original intentions of the filmmakers. Still, it’s difficult to imagine anyone having issues with this new HDR grade. It’s suitably restrained, without reimagining anything in an obvious way, and it appears to have been used simply to allow the original colors to shine. In other words, there’s more depth to the colors, if not necessarily more breadth. Some of the most obviously altered colors from the old Blu-ray master have been definitely been restored to a more natural look here. The contrast range hasn’t been exaggerated, but there are some noticeable differences compared to older version. While it’s less bright overall, there’s now more variation in the contrast between the lighter and darker elements, sometimes from shot to shot, and sometimes even within the same frame. For example, in the shot of Cinderella walking down the hall and opening the curtains that starts at 9:45, the hallway is darker, and yet the sunlight through the open curtains is slightly brighter. When she opens the door to see her stepmother, the Lady Tremaine is now appropriately shrouded in darkness. The Blu-ray master brightened everything too much, shadows included, and ruined the nature of scenes like that.
