A Dreamy Twist on Cinderella
There are numerous ornaments of the Disney princesses, so
there are numerous ornaments of Cinderella.
However, most of them focus on her in her ball gown, so the ornament
that closes out the Art of Disney Animation series is unique, and I really like
it for that.
You see, this ornament is actually from the first scene in
the movie. Cinderella is still in bed,
and she is singing “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes.” While none of the mice are in the ornament,
you can actually picture them around her listening. Her knees are pulled up, and the bed clothes
are bunched up around her as a result.
And because of the different choice, I like it. It would have been easy to have her getting
her dress or something like that, but there is something cute and utterly
charming about this pose. What strikes
me the most about it, however, is the bright colors. No, they don’t overwhelm, but it will
definitely stand out on a tree. You’ve
got her traditional light blue, this time on her nightgown, and the grown of
the headboard and blanket. Somehow, that
combination seems to stand out to me.
Because Cinderella is in her bed, there is a nice flat base
to this ornament. That makes it easy of
you want to display it year round somewhere.
If you want to hang it on your tree, you’ll find a red ribbon already
attached through the loop on her head.
When you go to hang it, you’ll find that it hangs level.
While Cinderella as a whole would be hugely popular, this
different pose has proven to be aimed more at the diehard Disnerds only. That’s not a bad thing, just something I have
noticed. Still, if you are looking for
something different for this character, this ornament is definitely for you.
This may not be as popular as Cinderella in her ball gown,
but it is nice to have an ornament that reminds us of her beginnings. If you are looking for something like that,
this piece is for you.
