Reception and Legacy
Cinderella has received positive reception over the years. Charles Solomon of the Los Angeles Times praised the voice acting of Woods by saying, "one of the things about her performance is the warmth she gave the character. As soon as she began to speak, her voice meshed with Marc Davis' animation to create a heroine you liked instantly." Entertainment Weekly's Chris Willman wrote that while Cinderella is, "no feminist icon, she is the one vintage Disney princess who stays awake through the last act." Rob Burch of Hollywood News called Cinderella, "the archetypal fairy tale princess." Though he did say that what separates her from Snow White is that, "she does seem to have her own mind and does at least show a little defiance, once or twice." Ed Perkis of Cinema Blend wrote in his review that Cinderella has an, "optimistic attitude" but he felt she could have been, "a bit more assertive in her own story".

The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
