About this listen

How do we look at costume when a film is animated?  In the case of Disney’s Cinderella, the costuming is an even-more-obvious-than-usual echo of the fashion trends at the time of the film’s creation.  Plus, we look at how Cinderella rescued the faltering Walt Disney Company and at controversies surrounding the over-restoration of classic movies.
