Cinderella

In this enchanting adaptation of Charles Perrault's classic fairy tale, a kindhearted girl named Cinderella finds herself swept away by the magical interventions of her fairy godmother. Transforming rags into a stunning ball gown and a humble pumpkin into an elegant coach, the godmother grants Cinderella an unforgettable evening at the royal palace. As she dances with the charming Prince, Cinderella finds herself in a world far removed from her ordinary life, but she knows that the magic won't last forever. Ticking away the seconds until her enchanting evening turns back into a distant dream, she must navigate the delicate balance between seizing opportunity and leaving before her fairy godmother's spell fades away. This groundbreaking film, directed by Georges Méliès, marked not only the first-ever screen adaptation of a fairy tale but also introduced the concept of dissolves to transition seamlessly from one scene to another. Influenced by Gustave Doré's engravings, the breathtaking art direction adds an extra layer of enchantment, transporting viewers into a world where wishes can come true - if you dare believe in magic.
