Everything we know so far about the restored 4K Cinderella movie
The director of Restoration for Walt Disney Studios, Kevin Schaeffer, had this to say about the film:
"Working with our restoration team along with internal technical experts, outside vendors, and advisors from Walt Disney Animation Studios, we were able to make this 1950 classic look and sound better than ever. We began the process by pulling the original nitrate negative from the Library of Congress and scanning the successive exposure color records in 4K."
He added:
"We then did a cleaning pass to remove dirt and as many artifacts as possible. The currently available restoration tools allowed us to produce a sharper and higher quality image than previous efforts. To make sure we didn't lose any of the detail or artistic choices of the filmmakers, we turned to Disney Animation legends and authorities, including Michael Giaimo and Eric Goldberg."
The restored 4K version of Cinderella made its debut at the Berlin International Film Festival in February, creating much anticipation and excitement among audiences.
With its captivating storytelling and remarkable performances, this rendition of the fairytale is poised to captivate viewers worldwide.
Mark your calendars for August 25, 2023, to watch the restored version of Cinderella on Disney+ in stunning 4K resolution.
