In other cases, the concept artist may be required to be part of a creative team until a project is completed. Concept artists generally demonstrate great skill in the fine arts and must usually work under tight deadlines.

Archived from the original on November 28, 2018 . Retrieved November 27, 2018.Cinderella movies are either based on the folk tale or adaptations of Walt Disney’s 1950 animated film of the same name. There were a lot of different adaptations, but in this article, we will only focus on the ones from Disney. By 1950, the animation board, which had been established as early as 1940 to help with the management of the animation department, [42] had settled down to nine supervising animators, including Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston, Les Clark, Wolfgang Reitherman, Eric Larson, Ward Kimball, Milt Kahl, John Lounsbery, and Marc Davis. [43] Although they were still in their thirties, they were jokingly referred by Disney as the " Nine Old Men" after President Franklin D. Roosevelt's denigration of the Supreme Court. [44] Walt Disney referred to Cinderella's dress transformation, animated by Marc Davis, as his most favorite piece of animation. [45] Rhoda Williams and Lucille Bliss as Drizella and Anastasia Tremaine, [11] Lady Tremaine's spoiled and awkward daughters and Cinderella's stepsisters. [8] In the animated film, Cinderella's father meets Lady Tremaine when she and her stepsisters are little girls. In the remake, Lady Tremaine and Cinderella's father aren't married until Cinderella, Anastasia, and Drisella are grown women.

Unlike the original film, this was not a musical. Although it featured Ella singing her mother's lullaby, "Lavender's Blue", and the cast singing the songs from the original during the credits.

It’s immaculately clean, with nary a trace of damage aside from any defects that already existed in the original animation, but this time that cleanness isn’t at the expense of either the grain or the fine detail. It’s not a case like some Paramount titles where the original grain was scrubbed away and then replaced with a layer of fake grain, because that still wouldn’t have restored the missing detail as has been done here. Any doubts about that will vanish the moment that the opening credits finish and the storybook opens. The texture of the paper itself has been restored, as has the individual pencil strokes in the artwork. When it zooms in on the castle and then cuts to a closeup of it, freeze frame at that point to get the clearest demonstration of the improvements. It isn’t just that the textures of the paper are now visible; it’s that the depth to the textures of the paper can be seen as well, giving the paper a genuinely three-dimensional quality. The way that the pencil work interacted with that texture is also clearly delineated. Fairy Godmother". D23. Walt Disney Archives. Archived from the original on May 29, 2023 .

The glass slipper that Lady Tremaine broke was the one that Ella kept instead of the one that the Grand Duke had. In 1950, Disney re-imagined the original animated feature, and released their own version without the assistance from Laugh-O-Gram. This release is the version that most of us grew up with, and is widely considered to be a Disney classic, and one of their most well known film adaptations. Soon after, Ella's father goes abroad on business, promising his stepdaughters gifts of luxury. His own daughter merely asks for the first branch that brushes against his shoulder on the way. Sadly, he becomes ill and also dies. This new loss results in Lady Tremaine revealing her true cold, cruel, and jealous nature. Taking advantage of Ella's hospitality, she persuades her to give up her room for Drisella and Anastasia, presumably temporarily, while Ella retires to the attic with only her mouse friends to keep her company. Not long after her father's death, Lady Tremaine dismisses the servants, leaving only Ella to do their work. Relegated to nothing more than a servant, she is subjected to cruel mistreatment by her stepmother and stepsisters. She is forbidden to eat with them, and spitefully renamed "Cinderella" after waking covered with ashes from the fireplace.

The project was ultimately discarded for reasons that are not fully known, though it is clear that attentions were turned instead towards the demanding production on the studio’s first feature-length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The Fairy Godmother's appearance is different from the animated film. This time, she appears to be rather young and wears a white-and-silver dress with a pair of fairy wings rather than a blue cloak. However, she appears as an old hag before she transformed into a young, beautiful woman.
