The public made CINDERELLA one of the highest-grossing films of the year and Disney’s most successful release since BAMBI. In fact, it was one of the top-grossing films of 1950, pulling in $4 million during its initial release. (Amazon)

Emerging from his coffin into the world of 1972, he returns to his once-majestic home, only to the few dysfunctional descendants of the Collins family who remain… (Amazon)
