Cinder means ashes. I think Cinderella works near a fireplace, no? I am also reminded of the Old French word cendre that means ashes. I think Cinderella is a French fairytale? Maybe I'm wrong.Yes. That's why she's called Cinderella. Her real name is Ella, and she "sleeps among the cinders". I think thats how the musical says it.Starion wrote: I see the word cinder in Cinderella.

Because more extras for kids = less extras for adults. The childish extras waist disc space.Disney Lover wrote:I don't quite understand why everyone gets all bent out of shape for some of the extras being geared toward kids. They have to put in some stuff for the kids who will undoubtably get this dvd as well.
Interesting. <i>Alice</i> was among his lesser favorites too, right?

. Thanks for posting the information Luke . haha... possibly! Actually it wouldn't surprise me. He was a perfectionist, and if some of his projects weren't as well received by his beloved public, he might well have looked upon them more critically.Joe Carioca wrote:I wonder if the fact that both "Alice" and "Sleeping Beauty" made little money had some effect on his opinion on them, hehe.awallaceunc wrote: Interesting. <i>Alice</i> was among his lesser favorites too, right?

Not necessarily. Remember Fantasia crashed and burned...but Walt LOVED Fantasia.awallaceunc wrote:haha... possibly! Actually it wouldn't surprise me.

This is true. It went on to reverse that though, whereas SB and Alice are still seen as the less-loved classics, and Fantasia was understandably different than what people expected, but I see your point.DaveWadding wrote:Not necessarily.
