#cinderella #reaction
When you think about it, the dress ripping scene is even more traumatic and infuriating, because that was her mother's wedding dress. They really took the last memory she had of her mother and just destroyed it...
I can see people in the comments saying that Cinderella was weak. But having been in a similar abusive situation growing up, I related a lot to Cinderella.
She’s not weak, she’s in a situation that has no escape. And people who say that don’t understand the psychology of the abused.
The psychology being the instilled fear that if you leave you will be homeless or without food and if you upset the abuser you will be abused more. And the psychology of an abused victim is not unreasonable to believe either. There is truth to that mindset. And Cinderella was in that mindset.
And looking for outside sources to be rescued such as a Prince in this case should not be shamed. I actually looked for outside help when I escaped. So stop victim Blaming Cinderella.
This was also before women had rights. They couldn't vote, own a bank account, or buy a house, or do anything without a male figure head over them. And if they tried to make it on their own in such a world, they'd be easily taken advantage of, with no legal recourse.
agreed
What's really annoying is everyone says that she just wanted to go see the prince at the ball when she just wanted to go for fun, only mentions how wonderful the ball would be and doesn't care about seeing the prince, and doesn't even know that the guy she danced with was the prince. They actually fell in love with each other.
Exactly, I agree~
I'm so glad I found this comment like anyone who says just leave has no idea what their talking about. I was abused growing up and obviously I wanted to leave but the constant fear instilled in me would stop me and make me feel it's my fault. I'm so sick of people calling cinderella a weak character.
I love that Cinderella isn't a complete doormat. She's willing to have a quiet laugh about her stepsisters' terrible singing, and is perfectly okay with "teach[ing Lucifer] a lesson!" She's not perfectly passive, so it makes her a bit more relatable.
I think having a passive-aggresive mother figure for most of her life has made her a bit passive-aggressive herself, so when she's annoyed or frustrated, she isn't direct about it.
The strange thing is, unlike Snow White, Cinderella's life is never in any danger, but the terror in her eyes is so much more palpable than Snow's, when she sees the crap-storm about to descend on her as her stepmother advances on her. It's so much more terrifying, because it's, sadly, so realistic. You could easily see something like that happening in real life, because real abusive relationships don't need poisoned apples or cursed spindles. Just manipulation paired with a power dynamic stacked heavily in the abuser's favor. And even if you, yourself, had a great relationship with your parents, everyone has been mistreated at some point, by someone. It's super-relatable, since anyone can imagine the feeling of being saddled with someone who mistreats them, and unable to escape.
Not only that, but the scene where Cinderella gets imprisoned by Lady Tremaine has EXTREMELY dark implications, making the scene much more creepy as an adult. It adds extra stakes to the animals' rescuing Cinderella, they had to act fast, and not just because The Grand Duke happened to be stopping by for the slipper try-on.
This and Mother Gothel in Tangled are extremely terrifying and downright evil villains. It's the psychological and physical abuse. Tearing a person apart inside, mentally, is so cruel, and painstaking and takes time. It's methodical, and in BOTH instances, both women managed to maintain their sense of self and humanity through that.
Eleanor Audley, who voiced the stepmother, as well as Maleficent in "Sleeping Beauty", was a good friend of my uncle's. I did a drawing of the stepmother for her when I was a child and she sent me an autographed photo that was taken of her while she was recording the voice. It is one of my treasures.
No way! That’s cool!
What?! That’s wicked!
How fun!
Cool!!!! I’m not sure if she’s still around but I hope she is well!
@@memyselfandi7782 She died in 1991 at the age of 86.
I'm glad people are getting to appreciate the old animated version. I feel like Cinderella got a bum deal from popular culture over the decades. She was working her ass off but never became cynical, and she wasn't looking for a prince like certain other early era Disney princesses. She just wanted a night off!
Ever After is another good take on the story, but I hated how Cinderella was written as a character in the more recent live action movie.
Actually, old movies do have hidden messages. Many think that it's strange that Gus's full name is Octavius, but it makes sense, because it's a reference to the Roman emperor Octavian AuGUStus
That speech he made in the end of the video was awesome 👏🏾. And that’s why Cinderella is one of my favorite Disney classics
You should also watch the Cinderella with Brandy and Whitney Houston!!!
"TREASON!! SABOTAGE!!!" LOL The King is my favorite character in this movie.
I highly recommend checking out Cinderella 3: A Twist in Time (personally I like Cinderella 2 but it’s more of a collection of little stories after her marriage and can be skipped since Cinderella 3 kinda ignores some of it). It’s a fantastic movie that really had no reason to be that good, it’s really funny (I especially love the prince, he’s hysterical and gets more added depth) and adds on to Cinderella’s character in a natural way. It also addresses a few questions that may be raised in the first movie, such as “well what if someone else fit the slipper?”
Some people dismiss Cinderella because they don’t think she has enough agency but she’s literally doing the best she can given her situation: her parents died, leaving her with an abusive stepmother who treated her like a servant. There’s not much she could do in that time period to escape that, women didn’t have many options and marrying was their best bet at hopefully securing a better life. And what was she going to do? Talk back to her abusers? Potentially lose what little she had? Cinderella wasn’t even going to the ball with the intention of meeting the prince (she didn’t even realize she had been with the prince all night until she found out he was looking for her), she just wanted a fancy fun night out and was content with that. She shows compassion and resilience throughout the film and without that compassion and love towards animals, she would never had been able to have them come to her aid multiple times. Now I’m not saying that this movie or the story itself is perfect, but as you said sometimes children need simple. Sometimes children need to see that “hey right now you’re in a crappy situation but things could get better, don’t give up hope”
Have to agree with this. The 2nd is not worth the time, but the 3rd is a really fun little twist. And you're right, it should not have been as good as it was, but it legit holds up against the original pretty damn well. And honestly, I love they dynamic with the step-sister.
@mycroft16 The second is more of a fun watch. Like if you want to cozy up with some cute little stories. But it does help showcase a dynamic between Anastasia and Cindy. And the third one demonstrated how evil lady Tremaine could be IF she had powers. She truly is a threat
The story was narrated by Betty Lou Gerson, who later voiced Cruella DeVil
Since I have severely debilitating social phobias, I never leave comments anywhere on the internet. But I have some things I'd like to share, so here goes nothing.
I was born in the 1980s and was lucky enough to watch a lot of the old Disney classics growing up, which helped me greatly to develop my creativity. (My husband and I have been writing fantasy stories together for many years now.) However, there was also a time in my life where I was living like Cinderella, stuck in a bad situation with an "evil" stepmother and an abusive family. And while I do have lifelong trauma because of this, I also don't think that's an excuse to be unkind to others. Because I believe in the power of empathy and understanding, and I still value that, even after being repeatedly hurt by others. I also think that's what's missing from the world today.
But this comment isn't just about me. I wanted to thank you, Dillon, for your film reactions. I've enjoyed a lot of them.
I also wanted to share a bit of what I know about Cinderella stories.
The archetypal story of "Cinderella" is actually one of the oldest fairytales in existence, dating back to *at least* as early as 500 BC in ancient Egypt, Greece, and China. And to my knowledge, there have been more than 40 film adaptations of the "Cinderella" fairytale, made by various people and studios. And while I personally think that most of these adaptations aren't actually any good, there is one particular film that stands out to me, and holds a very special place in my heart.
"Ever After: A Cinderella Story" was made in 1998, and is the most realistic yet compelling version of a Cinderella story that I've ever seen, despite any "supernatural" elements having been removed completely. And despite being set within the framework of a medieval setting, it also happens to be quite "feminist friendly" in its script. So it breaks my heart that it's so underappreciated. I think it deserves a lot of credit, and I also think it deserves more reaction videos. A lot of guys may dismiss such a film as simply a "chick flick", and a lot of girls might actually prefer the Disney live action version... But I disagree with that assessment, and I think that's unfair. I think Ever After was incredibly well-made and innovative, and obviously, it came out before the Disney live action film did. (And I must say, the Stepmother in Ever After is so much like my own stepmother that it's almost uncanny.)
No disrespect to Disney fans, by the way, I just wanted to get my own opinion out there, since I love the film so much.
While I may not be among the majority in my opinion here, hopefully you'll give the movie a chance, and get around to reacting to it one day. At the very least, myself and people like me would love to see it.
Thanks again, and much love. And thanks for sharing your reactions with us. Keep living your best life.
I also think that Ever After is the best Cinderella adaptation.
@ 14:35 - I lived a life similar to this, & so did my Twin Brother. We were adopted out separately & he didn't remember me. I remembered him, but had no way to find him for many years. The houses we grew up in, were not childless, as many people seem to think that the only reason for adopting is to give childless couples kids. Both families we grew up in had other kids. I was the middle child in my household of 3 children, & my Twin was the youngest, with 4 other non related siblings. We were both singled out, & treated like Cinderella, & used for slave labor, & constantly in trouble, & being unreasonably blamed for stuff that either wasn't our fault, or we had no control over, while our siblings had relatively carefree lives without all the blame & responsibility. And since we had no one around us who was blood related, or genetically mirrored us, with similar features or appearance, we really felt alone in the world with no rights, & no one to fight for our rights. Not to mention growing up with out a sense of origin or identity, thanks to closed Adoption, sealed records, & legal name changes, that we never had a say in. It was cruel & unusual punishment. Trauma on top of Trauma. Torture.
But we are in our 50's now, still fighting to get our names changed back, & our records unsealed. We have found each other, & finally found both our Bio parents, with 8 half siblings on either side to know, or get to know. Our Dad died in 2009 long before we found him. Our Mom died a year after we found her. If our records weren't sealed, & our names weren't changed, we could have possibly found them so much sooner, & had time to get to know them while they were alive. So Closed Adoption is a failed experiment, with countless victims, who still do not have the same rights as the rest of the non adopted world. Many still don't even have the right to their own original Birth Certificate. So please - if you can find it in your heart - to help Adoptees & their cause, we'd appreciate it. 🧸👍
I like this film. I also like the remake directed by Kenneth Branaugh. But my favorite Cinderella is “Ever After” starring Drew Barrymore. Such a beautiful film.
Oooooh I love that pne too! 😍
This is my favorite movie and Cinderella is my favorite character (and she's voiced by Ilene Woods, my favorite singer!), so it is always wonderful to see people reacting to this. I would just love to be able to go back in time just to be able to watch this for the first time again.
I agree with you 100%. It's like the cartoons made nowadays the messages aren't the same as they used to be don't get me wrong like I loved Brave and Encanto but Disney movies used to have such a different message.
Not really, just presented differently. Brave and Encanto and Cinderella all have the same message... being true to yourself, to your morals. That's what gets all 3 characters through those situations. Being true to themselves. Finding their own way. There are a lot of side messages in all 3 films, but that is the main message in each.
Yeah, I remember those old read-along tapes with storybooks like Cinderella.
Awesome reaction! I had the record and cassette books as a kid. My kids actually have a few that came with cds. The Disney live action is really good. But I highly recommend Ever After!
I don’t know about you, but I find the Midnight Escape Scene in this version of the story to be WAY more terrifying than it needed to be. Think about it: the clock’s countdown to doom, the intense musical score, and especially the royal guards, who look like a demonic hunting party.
Ooh I'm excited for this one
Needed those words at the end. Thank you so much 🩵💙
Those books with cassettes i remember having a few of those as a kid. A lot of them you can now find on CZcams
I agree with you the old Disney did get right to the point in the old films. I enjoyed them a lot more in the past a few new remakes were good but not as good as the original.
I love the cartoon way more than the movie the movie was awesome but the cartoons better
Me too.
I had books and tapes-now you have to order EBAY(I had Star wars and Indiana Jones)
This is gonna be exiting
Excellent words at the end
The mice are my favorite.
I just noticed that I’ve never seen Cinderella eat. But she serves everyone else.
A Cinderella story with Hillary Duff and Jennifer Coolidge!
You should watch the 3rd Cinderella movie now
Live action Cinderella got award for costumes.
have u ever thought about reacting to aristocats? its really good! or do u know it already?
Haha, I had the story books with records in them too :D
cinderella 3 is great movie in my opinion aswell !
You can Listen to your favorite audio Books on You Tube-just type it in. I listen to Annie, The Phantom and Tin Tin and Popeye also Lone Ranger.
I had the book of this movie and beautiful drawn
There is something I never understood. If the spell got broken, why the shoes stay that way?
i just noticed it but the fairy godmother actually says to cinderella have a good time dance be gay lol or maybe it's just a word that was used in form of wishing a good night i dunno but still it is kinda funny lol
The original definition of gay was to be merry or happy.
@@toodlescae i get that now since my close friend said what it means
That word had an entirely different meaning then.
Swimming in a pool of hamburgers... EPIC.
You should watch Ever After with Drew Barrymore and Angelica Houston.
There are cont. Cinderella , 3 movies.
26:44 😆
Watch live action
cat look like u
I never found this story inspirational. She didn't overcome the abuse by her own actions, she got lucky and some dude decided to marry her. Took me 34 years a a lot of work to find a guy worth marrying. I got myself out of ugly situations by hard work and becoming self sufficient.
She was living in a time before women had rights. They couldn't vote, or own a bank account, or buy a house, or do anything without a male figure head over them. The exception to this, was unless they were widowed, & had the deceased husband's name, good standing, & $, to fall back on. Then they could conceivably be treated almost equal to a man in stature & societal privilege.
There's a very old book I read as a kid, called Just Ella, which was actually one I loved and prized much higher even than the 50s Cinderella. No magic. No fairy godmother. And the Prince was an ass. She escaped the dungeon after turning him down, and ran off with her tutor.
So by your logic abuse victims are just "lazy" or "weak" for not fighting back despite all the pressure, social isolation, psychological torment, back in her days nowhere to go for an unmarried woman etc. It's "inspirational" in that she never lost her kindness and hope and someone did end up come help her, so it is a hope for isolated abuse victims who need a miracle too, aka external help
@@benlhyenethehyena9947 + Amen. Well said.
It wasn't just luck. The birds and the mice were steadfast allies because of her kindness to them, and they worked very hard to help her escape from her locked room.
To me live action is better
"leave the sewing to the women", thats really sexist. they should ban this movie immediately.
Oddly, I learned to sew about a month ago, by trying to remember the video clips of that scene. I wracked my brain for hours, thinking, "how did those mice do it again?" And all I could remember was that quote. Not terribly helpful. And felt seriously condescending to me.
