History Trivia / Cinderella

* CreatorBacklash: In an interview conducted by Michael Barrier, Frank Thomas said that he was limited with the stepmother and how she and other characters were too subtle and unimaginative. This was because they didn't have as much money as they had for some of the previous films and Walt Disney "had to find a cheaper way to make his picture" and the more movement in animation the film would have made it more costly to produce.

--> '''Walt Disney''': "You're my favorite heroine, you know."
--> '''Illene Woods''': "You mean Cinderella?"
--> '''Walt Disney''': "Yes, there's something about that story I associate with.".

** In 1987, there were Christmas ornament plushies of Jacques and Gus at UsefulNotes/McDonalds. In 2002, there were figures sold to promote 100 years of Disney magic.

* DuelingMovies: In 1950, a Spanish animation company called Estela Films also released an animated version of the Cinderella story, called ''WesternAnimation/EraseUnaVez''. Disney obviously won, with the former being a lost film. Supposedly, Disney was aware of the Spanish film and copyrighted the name Cinderella/Cenicienta in Spain, so they could not use it for their film's name.

* ActingForTwo: Helene Stanley was the reference model for both Cinderella and Anastasia.

* TalkingToHimself:
** The King and the Grand Duke are both voiced by Luis Van Rooten.
** Downplayed for not being ''human'' talking, but in WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}} James [=McDonald=] voiced Jac, Gus and Bruno, and in WesternAnimation/CinderellaIIDreamsComeTrue , Creator/FrankWelker voiced Lucifer, Pom-Pom and Bruno.
** The 1961 Japanese dub also had Jaq and Gus sharing a voice actor.
** The original Finnish dub from 1967 had only three voice actors, so this is guaranteed to happen in this dub. The 1967 Finnish dub is also possibly the only Cinderella dub in the world to have Cinderella and Lady Tremaine sharing a voice actor. Unfortunately, this dub is completely lost apart from the Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo song scene that can be found on Youtube.
