"Cinderella" released 1950


Walt Disney's animated classic Cinderella was released across the US on March 4, 1950.  Walt Disney Productions had been suffering financial losses after the dismal performances of Pinocchio, Fantasia, and Bambi.  

Cinderella received widespread acclaim and was Disney's biggest box office success since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.  It was nominated for three Academy Awards: Best Scoring of a Musical Picture, Best Original Song for Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo, and Best Sound Recording. 

In 2018, Cinderella was selected for preservation in the US National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
