At the time, Walt Disney Productions had suffered from losing connections to the European film markets due to the outbreak of World War II, enduring some box office bombs like Pinocchio, Fantasia, and Bambi, all of which would later become more successful with several re- releases in theaters and on home video. At the time, however, the studio was over $4 million in debt and was on the verge of bankruptcy. Walt Disney and his animators turned back to feature film production in 1.

After two years in production, Cinderella was finally released on February 1. It became the greatest critical and commercial hit for the studio since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1. It is considered one of the best American animated films ever made, as selected by the American Film Institute. It received three Academy Award nominations, including Best Music, Original Song for "Bibbidi- Bobbidi- Boo". Decades later, it was followed by two direct- to- video sequels—Cinderella II: Dreams Come True and Cinderella III: A Twist in Time—and a 2. Kenneth Branagh.[6]Cinderella is living a dissatisfying life, having lost both parents at a young age, and being forced to work as a scullery maid for her cruel stepmother, Lady Tremaine, jealous of Cinderella's beauty, and stepsisters Drizella and Anastasia, in the dilapidated château they live in.

Despite this, Cinderella is a kind and gentle young woman, and is friends with mice and birds that live in and around the château. Meanwhile, at the royal palace, the King is frustrated that his son, the Prince, is still unmarried. He and the Grand Duke organize a ball in an effort to find a suitable wife for the Prince, requesting every eligible maiden attend. Upon receiving notice of the ball, Tremaine agrees to let Cinderella go if she finishes her chores and can find a suitable dress to wear.

Cinderella finds a gown that belongs to her mother and decides to refashion it for the ball, but her step family impedes this by giving her extra chores. Cinderella's animal friends, including Jaq and Gus, refashion it for her, completing the design with a necklace and sash discarded by Drizella and Anastasia, respectively. When Cinderella comes downstairs wearing the dress, the stepsisters are upset when they realize Cinderella is wearing their accessories, and tear the dress to shreds before leaving for the ball with their mother. A heartbroken Cinderella storms out into the garden in tears, where her Fairy Godmother appears before her. Insisting that Cinderella goes to the ball, the Fairy Godmother magically transforms a pumpkin into a carriage, the mice into horses, Cinderella's horse, Major, into a coachman, and dog, Bruno, into a footman, before turning Cinderella's ruined dress into a white ball gown and her shoes into glass slippers. As Cinderella leaves for the ball, the Fairy Godmother warns her the spell will break at the stroke of midnight. At the ball, the Prince rejects every girl until he sees Cinderella, who agrees to dance with him, unaware of who he is.

The two fall in love and go out for a stroll together in the castle gardens. As they are about to kiss, Cinderella hears the clock start to chime midnight and flees. As she leaves the castle, one of her slippers falls off. The palace guards give chase as Cinderella flees in the coach before the spell breaks on the last stroke of midnight.

Cinderella, her pets, and the mice hide in a wooded area as the guards pass. The Grand Duke informs the King that Cinderella, who remains anonymous, has escaped, and that the Prince wishes to marry her.

The lost glass slipper is the only piece of evidence. The King issues a royal proclamation ordering every maiden in the kingdom to try on the slipper for size in an effort to find the girl. After this news reaches Cinderella's household, Tremaine realizes her stepdaughter is that girl when hearing her humming the waltz played at the ball and locks her in her attic bedroom. Later, the Duke arrives at the château, and Jaq and Gus steal the key from Tremaine's dress pocket and take it up to the attic as Anastasia and Drizella unsuccessfully try on the slipper. Tremaine's cat, Lucifer, ambushes the mice, but Bruno chases him out of the house, allowing the mice to free Cinderella. As the Duke is about to leave, Cinderella appears and asks to try on the slipper. Knowing it will fit, Lady Tremaine trips the footman as he brings the Duke the slipper, causing it to shatter on the floor.

Much to her horror, Cinderella presents the Duke with the other slipper, which fits perfectly. The film ends with a now- married Prince and Cinderella at their wedding, sharing a kiss as they leave. Animators[edit]Marc Davis, Eric Larson, and Les Clark were the supervising animators of Cinderella.

Walt Disney produced a Laugh- O- Gram cartoon based on "Cinderella", and he had been interested in producing a second version in December 1. Silly Symphony short. Burt Gillett was attached as the director while Frank Churchill was assigned as the composer. A story outline included "white mice and birds" as Cinderella's playmates. To expand the story, storyboard artists suggested visual gags, some of which ended up in the final film.[7] However, the story proved to be too complicated to be condensed into a short so it was suggested as a possible animated feature film as early as 1.

Al Perkins. Two years later, a second treatment was written by Dana Cofy and Bianca Majoli, in which Cinderella's stepmother was named Florimel de la Pochel; her stepsisters as Wanda and Javotte; her pet mouse Dusty and pet turtle, Clarissa; the stepsisters' cat Bon Bob; the Prince's aide Spink, and the stepsisters' dancing instructor Monsieur Carnewal. This version stuck closely to the original fairy tale until Cinderella arrives home late from the second ball.

Her stepfamily then imprison Cinderella in a dungeon cellar. When Spink and his troops arrive at the la Pochel residence, Dusty takes the slipper and leads them to free Cinderella. By September 1. 94.

Summer 2. 01. 7 Movie Preview Screen Rant. The 2. 01. 7 Summer Movie Season is right around the corner and so, we have selected 2. It may feel a bit odd to realize that the official summer blockbuster season hasn’t already started, what with such box office heavyweights as Fate of the Furious, Beauty and the Beast, Logan and Kong: Skull Island having already hit the scene; not to mention, surprise breakout hits such as Split and Get Out pulling in sizable crowds during their respective theatrical runs. While blockbusters may be popping up in just about every time of the year nowadays, the months of May through August are still prime tentpole season in Hollywood. As has also become customary in recent years, there will be multiple superhero movie universe installments hitting theaters during 2. Summer Movie Season (of both the Marvel and DC variety). On top of that, there are multiple franchise revivals/relaunches on the way, as well as some good old- fashioned sequels and reboots/remakes.

Per Screen Rant tradition, however, our list goes beyond the biggest tentpoles of the summer and includes some promising indie films that are on the way, as well as more dramatic offerings and even a handful of auteur- driven productions, no less. Per usual, these movies are listed in the order of their release date, so we leave it to you (the readers) to decide which ones are your most anticipated releases of the Summer 2. Movie Season. So, without further ado, here is Screen Rant’s 2. Summer Movie Preview – The 2. Films to See. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.

May 5)VIEW TRAILERA Marvel Cinematic Universe film once again kicks- off the Summer Movie Season this year, this time in the form of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. The Guardians sequel brings back James Gunn as director (and sole screenwriter, this time), in addition to Guardians 1 stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel, among other actors who played key roles during Gunn’s original romp across the MCU’s cosmos, from back in 2. Joining the core Guardians cast members in the sequel is screen icon Kurt Rusell, playing Star- Lord’s (Pratt) dad – who in the MCU continuity, is the (literal) biggest visual effect ever, in the form of Ego the Living Planet. The film also introduces Mantis (Pom Klementieff) to the big screen, among other former and/or future members of the Guardians squad in the Marvel Comics Universe. Although big purple baddie Thanos (Josh Brolin) doesn’t appear in the Guardians sequel, the movie includes no less than five post- credits scenes. While some of those beats will be of the purely silly variety (think Baby Groot’s dance and Howard the Duck’s cameo in the credits for Guardians 1), others will lay the groundwork for important events and characters to come in the MCU’s ever- expanding mythology.

Early reviews for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Captain America: The Winter Soldier). Of course, that still sets the stage for the rest of this summer’s superhero offerings to reach the same bar of quality as the Guardians sequel… and maybe even exceed it. Alien: Covenant (May 1. VIEW TRAILERThe last time Ridley Scott revisited the Alien franchise (back in 2.

Prometheus: a quasi- prequel to Scott’s 1. This year’s Alien: Covenant sees Scott take the series back to its roots, pitting a group of unsuspecting human space travelers against one nasty extraterrestrial beast that’s out to kill them all. This time however, the humans are the members of the colony spaceship Covenant and the beast they cross paths with is the “Neomorph”, a deadly variation on the iconic (and already plenty- dangerous) Xenomorph that was by and large absent from Prometheus; unless you count the Deacon that was “birthed” by an Engineer during the final scene. Speaking of the Engineers, that mysterious alien race’s home planet serves as the main setting of Covenant; paying off the events that transpired in Prometheus before it (namely, Elizabeth Shaw and David heading off to find their world). Alien: Covenant, in other words, aspires to be a thematic continuation of the 2. Prometheus (read: a more slow- burn and overtly philosophical sci- fi film), while at the same time delivering the relentless, sci- fi flavored horror movie experience that Scott’s original Alien did, all those years ago.

The hope is that Covenant succeeds in balancing those two approaches and in doing so, unifies Prometheus‘ detractors and fans alike. One hopes that it does anyway, seeing as (apparently) Scott intends to keep making Alien movies for as long as he’s still breathing.

Baywatch (May 2. 5)VIEW TRAILEREven as the Dwayne Johnson co- headlined The Fate of the Furious continues to tear it up at the global box office, fans of ‘The Rock’ are looking forward to his next starring vehicle in May: Baywatch. A big screen reboot of the 1. TV mainstay of the same name, the movie costars Zac Efron as well as Alexandra Daddario (The Rock’s onscreen daughter in San Andreas) and Ilfenesh Hadera (Billions), among others, as the highly- photogenic members of the lifeguard crew that protects a popular Californian beach. Much like 2. 1 Jump Street before it, Baywatch the movie reimagines its TV show inspiration (itself, something of a soapy drama) as a raunchy action/comedy that revolves foremost around a buddy duo (Johnson and Efron) who must solve a crime plot and, quite literally, save their “Baywatch brand” in the process of doing so. Seth Gordon of Horrible Bosses, Identity Thief and The Goldbergs fame, is the director leading the charge behind the camera, while Quantico‘s Priyanka Chopra takes on the role of the movie’s “big bad.”Putting an R- Rated movie spin on a popular TV show title isn’t necessarily a surefire recipe for success (as CHIPS demonstrated earlier this year), but Baywatch certainly won’t be hurt by having both Johnson and Efron play to their strengths at self- aware, tongue in cheek action/comedy. Either way, Johnson is already getting started on filming his next movie (the Rampage video game adaptation), so The Rock won’t be taking a break anytime soon; regardless of whether Baywatch is a hit, miss, or something in- between. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (May 2.

VIEW TRAILERJack Sparrow hasn’t set sail on the high seas in six years, following the release of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides in 2. This year’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales – the fifth installment in Disney’s theme park ride- inspired, swashbuckling franchise – not only brings Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack back to the big screen; it allow sees Orlando Bloom return to the role of series mainstay Will Turner, a character who hasn’t appeared onscreen since the release of the original Pirates trilogy finale, 2. At World’s End, a decade ago. Dead Men Tell No Tales pits Jack against one Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), a pirate- hating captain who returns from the dead, many years after the younger Mr. Sparrow led him to his doom. Watch The Matrix Online Iflix.

Joining Jack on his adventure is Will and Elizabeth Swann’s (Keira Knightley) now- grown son, Henry Turner (Brenton Thwaites), as well as The Maze Runner‘s Kaya Scodelario as Carina Smyth: an astronomer with vital information that Jack and Henry need, in order to stop Salazar and (in Henry’s case) possibly save Will from his dark fate. Early reactions to Dead Men Tell No Tales peg the film as being a return to form for the franchise, following the not- so- beloved (but very commercially- successful) On Stranger Tides. Directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg do seem to be taking a back- to- basics approach with their addition to the Pirates franchise – including, building upon the mythology of the original Pirates film trilogy in a significant manner (something On Stranger Tides did not do) – and the fifth Pirates adventure may yet succeed at breathing fresh life into the franchise, because of that.
