A Ride For Cinderella

Something I found funny about this short is that is largely comes off as a slightly long commercial for Chevrolet since it is presented by them, and given how Cinderella drives a car around much to the Prince's approval.

The short itself has rather decent animation for the time that it was made, though it honestly isn't as good as Disney or Warner Brother shorts released around the same time. Instead of following the story of Cinderella we find that she is already at the ball and...for some reason the stepsisters know it's her. Unhappy that the Prince is choosing her over them, they go to a Witch and enlist her help in trying to make things miserable for Cinderella by using various spells that all wrap up with her saying how evil she is and that she hates herself.

Thankfully though, there is a Chief Gnome and his Horse Hopper present to save the day as they work to undo what the Witch does and helps Cinderella get home safely. The following morning the Prince arrives and they agree to be wed.

There isn't a whole lot of good to say really about the short....it was alright, there are far worse out there. However there are also a lot of shorts that are out there which are better, aside from the two previously named companies I would suggest going and watching Popeye, Betty Boop or Felix the Cat sooner than this.
