Cinderella

In this episode of Pints and Princesses, we discuss the beloved “Cinderella” released by Disney in 1950. As we crack the cream ale, it begins with a brief overview of the myriad versions of this story that can be found in cultures around the globe and a short discussion of the context of the film’s release. Then we dive into the movie, looking at how “Cinderella” develops and improves some of the successful elements of “Snow White”. As we transition to cider, we discuss our favorite pair of mice, the plight of Bruno, the Fall of Lady Tremaine, and the boisterous King with his Pompous Windbag. As we finish with a seasonal porter, we even speculate about alternative endings.
