Trivia About Cinderella

Before animators began drawing for Cinderella, the entire script was shot in live action. This technique was used by filmmakers to get a better idea as to how they wanted the characters to move around in the animated environment.

Actress Helene Stanley served as the live-action reference actor for Cinderella. She was also used as a reference for Anita in 101 Dalmatians and Aurora in Sleeping Beauty.
