I agree!, BECAUSE in the 1950s the dress was very blindingly white, not even silver(I know it's cannon, but the high exposure of films back then, gurl) 👓

I really thought it was a reupload 😂

I was about to ask if this was a reupload.

oooooooh that explains it - I was like where have I heard this??? someone I like on KZfaq has DEFINITELY talked about this before...

It’s blue in the “Disney universe” and in other movies because a silver dress looks like a wedding dress. If you make dolls or dresses for children in the real world if will more often then not come off looking like a wedding dress, that is why Disney marketed it as blue. Just like when they marketed sleeping beauty in the pink dress not the blue ( even though she wears the blue dress a lot more than the pink one in the movie) that’s because Disney made the colour blue associated with cinderella 😄 so really it has to do with how they can sell the merchandise😆 atleast that is what I have learnt ( I’m going animation right now, but I guess it could be wrong. 😆🙃😁)

Yeah, it especially sucks now, because Sleeping Beauty’s dress had to change to pink to accommodate the already-false Cinderella color. It started a cycle of false colors 😭

I guess they really didnt wanna market a dress that looks like a wedding dress to children

YES! Absolutely for branding when they starting marketing the ‘princesses’

@@julien4305 ohhh this is a great point - that’s so true.

And Mulan?? Don’t even get me started

yeah I love the cinderella dress in the live action movie too even though it might be wrong 😂😂😂

yeah i love the live action version but lowkey hate the butterflies at the top

@@Camille-yu8nz yes the butterflies made it a bit childish, they even put them on her glass slippers. 😒

Imagine the live action poofy dress but in silver

I agree; I adore the original white dress but that doesn't stop me from loving the live action version. I see the 2015 Cinderella more as a reimagining of the original; they took inspiration from the 1950 film, but really it's just a different version of Cinderella that exists in its own right.

The live action dress is not even close to being as magical.

Exactly! Blue is one of my favorite color but seriously how many blue sparkling dresses have you seen in your lifetime? Now how about a Silver ( not metallic color silver but a white-ish silver like the fairy godmother’s dress in the 2015 Cinderella) dress with glitter and sparkle. Just one word that describes it’s beautifully and accurately to me is..... ✨Ethereal ✨

Um... have you SEEN the live-action dress?!

@@sweethysteria8737 Yeah,it’s magical in a different way

@@sweethysteria8737 Yes. I'm not disputing that the live action dress is beautiful. I'm just saying it doesn't top the silver dress in my opinion

sparkly as starlight sounds like ariel dress and golden as the sun sounds like belle haha!

This reminds me of the french movie "Peau d'âne" where she got 3 dresses : La robe du temps, La robe du soleil et La robe de la lune ^^

Disney copied Grimm Brothers

@@jelliclelife stars ✨ sun 🌞 moon 🌙 ❓ I’ve heard the story of 3 dresses 👗

@@jelliclelife My exact thought when reading this comment! Did you know that that movie is based on Charles Perrault's tale, which is also the author of Cinderella!

Ooo the thing about reflecting the surroundings is so cool

Like Elsa's impossible ice gown(s) 😂

Love that explanation!

This is what I automatically thought as a kid😭😭

this what i heard and believed throughout my life too

I wonder about this. Disney didn't want to market Cinderella in silver because it looked like a wedding dress. But Disney seems perfectly willing to market Elsa in her white Snow Queen dress and sell said dress to little kids to wear as costumes.

@@Moonlitwatersofaqua its been many years, different people do the marketing and merchandising + character designs now. maybe they changed their mind or the silhouette of the dress is less traditionally wedding.

@@Moonlitwatersofaqua That's very true, I thought it was to do with the dress style. Cinderella's dress, if sold as the original white colour, would look like a traditional wedding dress due to the wide skirt design, while Elsa's white ice dress is sleeker and executes a more "snow-like" feeling, especially with the cape and diamond patterns on it.

But now they sell Rapunzel's wedding dress. So it seems time has made them change their minds

@@charliebear_711 I kind of doubt the silhouette is the problem. Cinderella's dress is more of what we think of when we think wedding. However I have noticed that more sleeker silhouettes are much more in style this decade. I just remembered Anna has a white dress too and a few kids dresses of that one are sold too. I've been a bridesmaid in 3 weddings and the brides all chose silhouettes that were more similar to what Elsa and Anna wear than the traditionally big poofy princess dresses. Likewise Kate Middleton's and Meghan Markle's also look more like what the sisters wear. Actually thinking about it this way makes me understand why after Princess and the Frog Disney stopped putting their female leads in big poofy dresses.

tbh the darker shade was gorgeous too. It was the blue dress in marketing which was boring

@@Luna-ry8lv agreed!👌🏼

Ariel looks horrible in the pink dress

Ariel looks adorable in the pink dress it really fits her. I don't know what the person above me is on at the moment but I always loved Ariel in that pink dress as a child, it made her look her age and not too mature or childish

@@bluenpurple2328 And it matches well with her hair. People say it doesn’t work because she’s a redhead, but it doesn’t clash for her because the dress is so light and her hair is so vibrantly red. Merida’s hair wouldn’t work with it, but Ariel’s does.

@@KeepCalmContemplateYourChoices Ariel is meant to look "horrible" in the Pink dress, it was her first human gown. It was supposed to symbolise how she didnt fit in because the Pink was meant to clash with her red hair :)

Same i totally despised that they changed the dress when i was a kid and it also really annoyed me that Ariel's tail didn't match her bra

Even Ariel's

@@hiraimomosslave9251 lol I love my ambiguous queens

I don't mind Aurora switching between pink and blue, but Cinderella should always have her silver dress

it always irked me aurora didn’t have a blue dress just because at the end of the dance sequence when her and phillip are dancing into the clouds, just before the book closes, the last colour we see the dress as is blue, so it always just made sense to me for it to be blue. i’m pretty sure it’s blue when she meets her parents for the first time as well

sophie the blue ariel dress is soo lovely, it’s my favourite of her looks.

Omg 😱 never noticed - great eye! Great point

Wait..WHAT

Yeah it does have a slightly peachy tone to it. Just a little extra warmth.

You are right! I love her hair color. I've heard it described as Titian Blonde or Squash Blonde (that description seems cute cause you could also call her hair pumpkin blonde) since it is a pale orange blonde.

@@Nightman221k I love that "pumpkin blonde" so cute!

I think Disney didn’t want to sell costumes that look like wedding dresses to little girls, not dolls that look like they’re wearing wedding dresses

Will N Well yeah but traditionally wedding dresses are white so since Tiana’s dress is green it doesn’t really fit the image most western people have of a wedding gown, so to them it doesn’t look like one ig?? Idk. Personally I think if a kid wears a dress that looks like a wedding dress, since the person wearing it is a child, it doesn’t look like a wedding dress cause it’s a kid and I don’t see how anyone can look at a kid and go “yup, this kid is getting married!” like that’s crazy to me but ig Disney didn’t see it that way

Will N You have to consider the events you are talking about happened presumably not a long time ago, they made the decision to make Cinderella’s dress blue years and years ago, when it was probably more taboo, and now they can’t change it back cause it’ll confuse little girls

Will N I think you’re replying to the wrong person buddy, the person who said they changed it cause it looks like a wedding dress is the original poster. My comment was stating that _if_ they did change it cause it looked like a wedding dress, it wouldn’t be cause they don’t wanna sell dolls that look like they’re wearing wedding dresses it would be cause they don’t wanna sell costumes that look like wedding dresses to children.

Will N No, I meant the original poster of the comment was the one that said they changed it cause looked like a wedding gown so your comment should’ve been directed at them not me

I just thought of that. And also in the dark water of this scene the dress looks more blue, what strenghens the shade theory

i was surprised she didn’t point that out in the video

I always loved the shimmering purple dress Ariel comes out of the water in at the end of the movie! Although its silhouette is too simple for her iconography or theme park outfit, I always wished they themed her more purple like her clamshell top and that dress from the end of the movie. But now Rapunzel’s color theme is purple so that would be confusing.

@@misslinguinni maybe if they had made her dress purple instead of pink. I never thought about it but purple on Aurora would be pretty... tbh purple on any of them would be pretty but I think thats my purple bias showing

Uggg Ariel should have always worn green. It goes way better with her red hair than purple

@Isaac Mckennall I think the blue suits her character more, she's calm and reactionary, much like water. She's by far my favorite. However Disney missed the chance for her dress to be Mi Parti because she's a Medieval Princess, so why not Blue and Pink

I actually love aurora in pink. Blondes do look great in pink

🧚‍♀️ Y E S 🧚

i agree!

You should check out Ultimate Fashion History's video on the dress. They go in depth about the color as well as silhouette kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l792o7mr0LaXhYE.html

But disney did not want to sell wedding dresses to kids that's why it was marketed in blue

I absolutely agree.

Yes! I've always thought of it as a barely there ice blue (re: silver) like glass.

I think an extremely pale blue would be a nice compromise, much nicer than the deep blue she has in marketing

If you look at the behind the scenes of the live action Cinderella, the dress is actually pale blue! They edited the dress to look darker.

Yea, it's like a silver color with a small hint of blue

Yeah It does look like there is a slight blue coloring on the dress but mostly is silver.

I liked the green dress in the second movie, I just wish they could have had more variety in the dresses than just recoloring the silver one😅

mhm

Ohjjjjj

Yes! I noticed that and it began to annoy to me. I like the reddish color in cinderella's hair, it makes her stand out against the original three princesses.

The original 35 mm doesn't have her hair strawberry blonde at all. It's dirty blonde. The 1988 version has her with strawberry blonde.

Veronica Elders No it’s definitely strawberry blonde, not yellow.

Veronica Elders The reason the 35mm looks dirty blonde is because since they didn’t have great technology back then, everything has a greyish tint. Look at the background for example, it’s literally black and white when it’s supposed to be blue and purple.

@@-Theo- yes

y

@@elainestokes2787 so they could sell stories of young girls who get married to the first guy they meet but not a doll with a dress that could be similar to a wedding dress?

@@AllThePeppermint Same! I really wanted to make Aurora's blue dress for my barbies, because in merchandising the cut of it isn't right. I told my mom about it, and instead she went on ebay looking for Aurora dolls. We ended up getting one, but won't fit my barbies. :(

She did get married and that’s not even her actual wedding dress so.....

@@starrsmith3810 they actually sell dolls of some of the princesses with wedding dresses too

@@nessyness5447 really? So it’s even more pointless for Cinderella to have a blue dress lol

Yess I've noticed the same thing! They changed her hair from the rolled up bumber banged updo look in the original to this weird messy bun with side-swept chunky bangs

SAME. I even paused the video just to glare at it lol sooo ugly and uninspired

It was to make the princesses "modern", but now they look incredibly dated (hell they looked dated back when they unveiled it)

yeah the ashy blonde with highlights looks so weird and unnatural and even weirdly dated now? also why would Cinderella color her hair, she was given a makeover in her movie cause she didn't have anything but her scraps

Cinderella's original warm blonde hair and rolled up updo are so elegant, it annoys me every time they change it especially the color

@K Annie lol but still they couldn't keep their original design, they literally only changed the dress's color because Of merchandising, they couldn't make dresses for little girls because it looked to much like a wedding dress like WHAT.

@K Annie I don’t think anyone was complaining or not understanding of that. I’ll delete my comment, I just simply thought that was a good observation.

@K Annie They were intended to be enjoyed by everyone, not just children. Snow White was truly heralded as a cinematic masterpiece when it was released and inspired the Wizard of Oz to be created.

It's supposed to be for everyone it does not matter , if the dress was always blue you would not say that . ( Not trying to be rude)

I know righttt I mean yea, Cinderella and her dress is mostly marketed to children, but elsa's new white dress is not as childish, and is more elegant, so I don't see what's wrong. I would be very happy and satisfied if disney would go back to marketing cinderella's dress to be a more silvery tone.

Why are you calling me out like this? 😂 I actually really liked the Anastasia story in Cinderella II. But the plot with Jaq becoming a human was weird.

when i was little i loved cinderella ii. i liked that anastasia and cinderella had put aside their differences. but cinderella iii is without a doubt better

@@spacemilk4010 I only had Cinderella ii when I was little(I think the grownups mixed it up) and didn't see the original so I loved it as well haha I was so happy when I finally got the original Cinderella, Cinderella iii is definitely better than Cinderella ii but yeah

that was my favorite movie as a child

@@misslinguinni Anastasia's story ft the baker is the ONE redeeming quality of CII 😂. It also sets up CIII really well w/ Anastasia, a great layered, complex character.

so did i, and yet diamonds are another thing that people tend to make blue when animated

😌👏

Yea I watched the blue ray one :(

Yeah, I was so disappointed when they revealed her new look with the limp tendril curls and pattern on her dress.. Seems blasphemous to change an iconic character design. I grew up loving her in the 90s and that's 40 years after the original came out and we didn't have an issue with how she looked 4 decades later. :-\

I had the VHS tape despite being born much later. I remember being confused when I saw the blue dress in marketing. But I eventually forgot it.

I'm 'll and I saw the old one soooo

Lots of younger generations in my country have watched it when they are younger so .

lol

Haha omgg why was that my reaction too

Honestly, her pink dress needs more recognition. As before being destroy it was pretty

@@braylin5003 it really was. I also like the shade of pink

Braylin When modergurlz said the pink dress was horrendous she was talking about the pink version of the silver dress that we see in Cinderella II, not about her mother’s pink dress in the first movie lol

@@-Theo- ohhh that one is just a repaint of the silver one Isn't that iconic nor stan up

ariana moore yeah right

When I was younger I thought it was artist but I remember rewatching at like 13 or 14 thinking why does her dress look gray now? And even then it didn’t seem the blue disney marketed it but a very pale blue lol

i always saw it as silver and was confused as why everyone thought it was blue

when i was younger i thought it was a pale pastel baby blue lol

I grew up with the blue image because of all the merchandise, and I didn't see the movie that much, maybe 3 times.

@Isaac Mckennall Merryweather was right all along 💙

Aurora is only ever aware of it being blue. And spends most of the run time in blue. She also has blue eyes! Not purple! @_@

nooo i love aurora in pink

But doesn’t Elsa have a blue dress

@Will N oh ok that makes more sense frozen doesn't really fit in to the realm with disney princesses. yea i see that now

I tough the complimentary contrast makes the eyes pop so for you sth orange. I’m confused

i rewatched my videos and i've talked about it 5 other times omg 🙈

@@ModernGurlz And we enjoy it every time you bring it up. It always makes me smile. 😁😁😁😁

Important matters such as this one require constant addressing!

happy birthday!! hope you have a great day ahead and that all your wishes come true!! :)

happy birthday 💖

Happy Birthday!!👑🎉 My sisters birthday is in two days. Hope you had fun!

happy happy birthday love

Happy birthdayy!!!!

I feel the same way about Aurora. I want to buy her merchandise but it always comes in pink.

@@LyricalXilence She is usually seen in pink so that she wouldn't be confused with Cinderella.

She is usually seen in blue, so that the ball gown won't look likea wedding dress.

Another thing I noticed about the dolls is that Cinderella’s new face mold actually makes her look more like Aurora.

suemommie I know! Which makes me very sad because the limited edition dolls are so beautiful and unique (I own the Aurora) I feel like marketing Cinderella in her silver dress would not only make her design true to the movie, but it would also make her stand out and contrast with the other princesses. Specifically belle and Aurora.
