This is the সেকেন্ড of a set of reviews and analyses that I will be doing on each ডিজনি Princess movie. I will try to be as unbiased and analytical as possible. I watch the movie so that it is fresh in my mind, and review 10 categories: the princess, the prince, the couple, the villain, other characters, the plot, animation, songs, score, and mood. I then give each category a score out of 10, then the movie as a whole receives a total score out of 100. All categories contribute equally to the final score.
Princess – Cinderella
সিন্ড্রেলা is the definition of princess, and it is no wonder her image instantly comes to mind when someone says “princess”. She is “ever gentle and kind” to everyone she meets, even Lucifer, and even when she is mad, she remains kind. She is forever hopeful and dreamy, and she remains strong despite her terrible treatment and living conditions. She is poised, patient, and ever-grateful for her good fortune. She is also quite clever, and she looks for the good in everything. Her “bad” side shows when she is sarcastic and snarky, and she has a habit of losing her shoes (3 times in the movie). As সিন্ড্রেলা is such a good character and role model, she earns a score of 10.
Prince – Charming
Charming, although good-looking, is not the best character. He is quite underdeveloped, and two-dimensional. From what we see of him, it seems that he values a girl’s looks over her personality. He is forgetful, but really, how can আপনি forget the face of the girl আপনি danced with all night, and never ask her name?! For his poor development, Charming earns a score of 5.
The Couple
Their first meeting is quite conventional of princess stories, but that doesn’t make it any less sweet. The relationship is not প্রদত্ত enough time to develop, yet somehow after mere hours of dancing together, both know that they are each other’s perfect match. They seem to go from প্রণয় interests to married too quickly, but it is a happy ending for both of them. This couple therefore earns a score of 6.
Villain – Lady Tremaine
Tremaine is not the best villain. She was chosen as Cinderella’s step-mother because she was of “good family”, not because Cindy’s father saw anything lovable in her. She is impatient, and gives orders like it is going out of fashion. She makes really unfair deals with Cinderella, and is quite envious of her step-daughter’s natural beauty and charm. To be completely honest, sometimes it seems that Lucifer is আরো of a villain than Tremaine, because he actually takes action, rather than just plotting. Tremaine therefore earns a score of 6.
Other Characters
I find that the mice in general are annoying, especially their voices, but they’re also quite helpful and they have their hearts in the right place. The birds are also quite helpful, yet not so annoying. Jaq stands out because he is clever and brave, but Gus stands out because he is greedy and idiotic.
The step-sisters are impatient, give orders in a similar fashion to their mother, are immature, selfish, envious, and they take this envy out on সিন্ড্রেলা দ্বারা teasing her. They are also quite terrible at music, yet are আরো developed characters than Charming.
The King care’s about his son’s future, and who will প্রণয় him and provide children. He is a romantic, and has romantic dreams for his son.
The Fairy Godmother is a true mother figure for Cinderella, although slightly strange. She is extremely kind, and knows how to respond to Cinderella’s heartache.
Overall, the secondary characters are bearable, so they earn a score of 6.
Plot
The plot of the movie mostly follows the original plot, except there are some details missing, such as the fact that the ball went over three nights, and সিন্ড্রেলা wore a different, আরো beautiful dress each night. As always, there are the classic ডিজনি twists. The progression of the movie was comfortable, and no particular events felt rushed অথবা to go on too long. The plot therefore earns a score of 8.
Animation
The অ্যানিমেশন of this film is আরো defined, and movement is smoother. There are some beautifully detailed backdrops, which give the film its classic feel. There was the clever অ্যানিমেশন of Cinderella’s reflection in multiple bubbles, which would have required extreme care when producing. However, there are some details missing; for one, সিন্ড্রেলা doesn’t have any toes. There are also some inconsistencies with colours and numbers, as Gus’ শার্ট turns green in one scene, and it’s not because of the lighting. This অ্যানিমেশন is still quite good for when the movie was produced, so it earns a score of 7.
Songs
A Dream is a Wish Your হৃদয় Makes – this song comes across as classical, but there are also some discernible jazz slides and chords. The lyrics are inspirational, and প্রদর্শনী Cinderella’s personality well.
Sing Sweet Nightingale – the step-sister’s version of this is quite terrible to listen to. However, Cinderella’s version is pretty and a lot sweeter, and has some nice backing harmonies.
The Work Song – this song has some nice harmonies, but the mice voices are annoying and ear-grating.
Bippity Boppity Boo – this song is quite pompous, but doesn’t seem to be a full song, as it is often interrupted দ্বারা characters talking.
So This is Love – this song is nice to listen to, and has strong harmonies between সিন্ড্রেলা and Charming. The lyrics adequately summarise the feelings that are characteristic of falling in love.
STIL reprise – sung quite dreamily, and Cinderella’s প্রণয় is quite clear, but this song is also too short to have any impact.
ADIAWYHM reprise – strong choral harmonies, but again, it is too short to have any real impact.
Overall, the songs are quite good, earning a score of 8.
Score
The score has a strong, contrasting mix of both predominantly brass and strings. When the brass plays, the score tends to be pompous অথবা a fanfare, but when the strings play, it is either sweeping, usually প্রদর্শিত হচ্ছে sadness, অথবা pizzicato, which raises the tension. Throughout the movie, the score helps to hold the tension well, and also follow what the characters are doing. However, there is some slight funeral-type সঙ্গীত in an inappropriate moment, which is off-putting, earning score a score of 9.
Mood
This movie seems to be আরো family-friendly than Snow White, as teenagers can understand Cinderella’s sarcasm, while little kids wouldn’t. The movie had very few boring moments, and the audience is manipulated quite cleverly to feel what সিন্ড্রেলা feels. Overall, the mood earns a score of 9.
Overall, this movie is almost perfect, but is drawn back দ্বারা Charming, Tremaine and the couple, so earns a total score of 74 out of 100.

It's always the quiet, innocent ones...
2. The one everyone THINKS is going to survive at the end-Mulan অথবা Pocahontas
In horror movies, the one আপনি THINK is going to survive the whole thing dies.
3. The one who ACTUALLY survives at the end-Cinderella অথবা Belle
In horror movies, one of the আরো innocent ones live.
4. Most likely to be the prime suspects-Merida, Rapunzel, অথবা Ariel
The killer is always white, and Merida, Rapunzel, and Ariel are the only white princesses left.
5. Most likely to die first-Jasmine অথবা Tiana
Of course the colored people always get it first...Horror movie stereotypes :P Anyone wanna bet how many মিনিট into the movie until one of them gets it?
Since I am trying to make the Princess Of The মাস আরো popular, this is another one of my ideas. In the end of each মাস I'll post articles, based on the countdowns for songs, hairstyles and outfits. There everybody will have the chance to discuss whether they agree with the results, what corresponded to their expectations, and what they wish would have been different!
Once again, I will be using pictures for my articles. A few months back I would have made a detailed explanation about each result, but since the সাম্প্রতিক changes, ফ্যানপপ has been অভিনয় really weird. And yes, I don't like the option of লেখা long paragraphs with text, while the pictured are all clustered in the bottom of the article! So under each picture I will be posting one comment, related to the result. So in case আপনি don't want your মতামত পোষ্ট হয়েছে in my articles, please contact me!
Here are the results of the POTM Outfits Countdown: ~*Rapunzel*~ (January 2013)! Enjoy and share your opinion!
