The beautiful Cinderella.

Walt disney Character descripción of cenicienta from "Cinderella" (1950)
The character of cenicienta was posed in live action por Helene Stanley who, to jugde por stills of her performance, was even más beautiful than the screen cenicienta - although she was brunette rather than blonde. In a 1982 interview with Kur Wiley, Marc Davis, largely responsible for animating Cinderella, compared the character with another of his "creations", Cruella De Vil:
"I think that cenicienta would have to be the más difficult because she has to be the substance that carries the story all the way through. She has to be believable, she has to be real, and she has to be [someone] that tu can feel sympathy for. Storytelling characters like these are rather thankless characters to do because... they don't get laughs! When tu do something in animación and the whole audience laughs at one time at something you've done, it is a tremendous thrill."
Many of the central characters in Disney's features are essentially cyphers - things things happen - but cenicienta is an exeption. She is por no means a weak-willed character content to let events flow on around her: on the contrary, when the invitation to the ball arrives she uses everything short of physical force to persuade her stepmother and stepsisters that she has every right to attend. Snow White would never have had the strength of character to stick up for herself in this way, but cenicienta does. It is for this reason perhaps más than any other that she is the most memorable of the disney heroines.
