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. 😆🙃😁)

This confused me so much as a kid, because I always thought her dress wasn't that blue. It always looked like a really pale baby blue silvery color to me, and it makes more sense that the original color was silver. I feel like there were other ways Disney could have gone about marketing the dress so that it didn't look too wedding-y

[@Moonlitwatersofaqua]

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.

[@CharlesECheez]

@@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.

[@charliebear_711]

@@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.

[@anhphi100]

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

[@Moonlitwatersofaqua]

@@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.

[@tearoses9940]

I’ve always been annoyed by this! Whoever thinks “kids won’t care” or “kids will be more attracted to her dress in blue” are wrong. I watched the movie a lot as a kid, and even back then it bugged me that her dress was blue on all the merch when it’s very clearly white/silver. (And on top of that, I always preferred Aurora in her royal blue dress than the bright pink they always have her in. It was blue for the majority of the time she wore the dress in the movie, including the spinning wheel scene and being woken by Philip. Give Aurora her blue dress and put Ariel back in the pastel pink).

Disney: We couldn't sell a princess wearing a gown similar to a wedding dress, it would be problematic Mattel, making milions of dollars by selling Barbies wearing wedding dresses for decades: allow me to introduce myself EDIT: since users are mentioning the carnival costumes - I can't see where the problem is; just make it glittery/glossy silver, trim it with tons of duo chrome sequins, and no one would think it's a wedding dress. Is all about hue and reflectiveness of the fabric. It's not that deep and no genius needed honestly. Also, white is not necessarily associated with wedding, is just - as usual - the umpteenth western archetype of it.

[@-Theo-]

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

[@-Theo-]

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

[@-Theo-]

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.

Can we also talk about the change of hair color between her and Aurora? If you look at the two original films Cinderella has strawberry blonde hair, and Aurora has a more pale/ashy blonde color.

I dunno something I noticed after working in the parks.

I feel like you missed the most obvious explanation as to why her dress appears blue in the film: light refraction. As an artist, you need to understand the way lighting affects the world around you so it can be captured in a painting. her dress is blue simply because the background is blue around her and her white dress is reflecting the blue that is refracted. It's the same reason the sky and ocean are blue. They both do not have color; we simply have the blue/violet rays reflected into our eyes.

I don't think there's any argument to say that her canon dress is silver. it's just these disney princesses and characters are way bigger than their one movie. and like you said absolutely saturated for capitalists greed that could care little for creative integrity. still it's nice to appreciate what it was in it's time.

[@pausaccone6586]

great commentary, honestly I didn't even know about this discussion but now I'm obsessed with it 😍 Also, personally I think given that every Disney princess has a unique style and dressing code/color, when picturing a blue dress it overlaps with Aurora's color-changing dress in Sleeping Beauty. So, I think sikver would make more sense.

[@Ash_W04]

I swear I’ve watched like 10 videos of you talking about how the dress is silver and not blue but I’m complaining 💀

[@g_trots7374]

This reminds me of the Kingdom Hearts series, where wherever Cinderella makes an appearance in her ballgown, the color of the gown has been silver/white. It's a rare show of fidelity to the original movie. It's one of the few times I've ever seen her in any Disney property (even a crossover with Square Enix) where her dress isn't blue like in the Disney Princess brand.

[@thedangerousivy]

I was always angry about how the dress was marketed as blue, but it still looks as beautiful as ever. Plus, the live-action Cinderella dress has got to be my favorite dress ever. Plus, I really liked the turquoise/green dress she had in the 2nd.

[@spoons_only]

honestly this whole time i thought the consensus was that her dress is silver in the 1953 version but they began marketing it as blue when they started marketing princess stuff when someone at Disney noticed kids were going to Disney princess theater showings during the 90's renaissance in their homemade princess dresses and realized they were financially missing out if they didn't start selling their own toys and costumes, so they needed to make her dress stand out because hers would look washed out since the other princesses had pink, green, and gold at that point in time

[@mariamnasser8807]

I clicked as fast as I can!!! Edit: yes I believe the dress is silver!

[@disneyfan20]

WDW goer here. Even in the parks in the late 80s through the mid 90s her dress was more sliver than blue. Granted, there was a distinct blue hue to it, but the dress was undoubtedly silver. I think the blue dress in the parks only started happening closer to 2000 - and the dvd release by extension. As by then most marketing images had her in blue.

[@Notsomethingtoknow]

I would say its a silver dress, with a hint of sky blue.

[@PolliitoAle]

I love that you're so passionate about this topic. Cinderella has never been my favourite disney film but here I am, invested on the colour of her dress just because of you 😂

[@hungoverpuppy3907]

I knew since I was a little girl that her dress wasn't blue, ans I knew something was off when I kept seeing her in blue. I'm glad I'm not alone.

[@zacheryspencer]

Great video:) Yes I love the silver/white gown more then the blue and I do love the pink version also:) White or pink would definitely make her stand out in the crowd:)

[@medeatheesolon]

her dress turn more blue everytime there's another version of Cinderella

[@aevp]

I’ve always said that the fairy good mother was the spirit of Cinderella’s mom and the dress she gave her is the her old wedding dress but Disney can’t sale white dresses to little girls without making them look like brides

[@Kay-essa]

At 6:09 in the shot of all of the different versions of Cinderella, 5th from the left strikes a good balance. It’s blue enough to not be mistaken for a white bridal gown, yet still light enough and sparkly enough to be silvery.

[@rosebean7168]

I always seen it white and wanted a doll like that but seen all of them blue, even with dresses of them which pretty upset me.

[@LyricalXilence]

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

[@disneyrules7808]

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

[@ms.simone4839]

Wow I never knew that all I could think of watching this video is how very pretty and Christmasy the silver dress with red lipstick is.

[@queenning28]

I really really love the original silver sparkling dress of Cinderella. I understand how it's probably very difficult to mass produce a silver dress (without it looking cheap and/or too Christmas-like) so Disney opted for a blue dress. But still, when I was a little girl, I had repeated dreams about Cinderella in that silver dress and crystal slippers. That sight of pure beauty and elegance just shook my soul lol

[@camifornilla]

I love your commentary on Disney movies. I like how thorough your research is and the takes you make. 👏👏👏

[@Samb-mi2xk]

Also further evidence is the saks 5th avenue limited edition collecter doll. (The Disney limited edition dolls are very expensive and very accurate to the original movie. The detail and such is hand stitched and only about 1000 are made) that dolls dress is silver and design by Disney based off the original movie. So clearly her dress is silver but mostly market as blue.

[@suemommie]

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

[@Samb-mi2xk]

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.

[@alex_alr1ght]

3:59 is when the fairy godmother starts talking. This is just for people who enjoyed that it was in the video or because some people wanted to get in a certain point in the video

[@karastears]

The silver goes so well with Cinderella than blue.

[@disneyrules7808]

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

[@hajimesenpai7996]

I wish Disney made the dresses and stuff silver instead of blue.....I've always wondered this as a kid

[@melissal1527]

Cinderella's silver dress was beautiful

[@nikoletta3855]

I think that the blue background also plays a role. If you put gray or silver (that are not actual colors but just a mix of black and white) next to colors like blue or red, they tend to appear to the human eye as more "cold" (for blue) or "warm" (for red), so the dress appears "colder" than it would have been on a white background and we tend to associate coldness with blue-ness

[@fawn5159]

6:23 I liked the green dress tho

[@sailorcat]

I always knew it was silver, or at least lot lighter than in Disney's matketing. I prefer the silver dress over the blue one^^

[@audreysegedin7803]

I feel like I’ve been lied to for years!!! This is insane! I don’t know what to believe anymore! But whatever color her dress is, I still think it’s beautiful. I wonder if this is why her dress was white in the musical though.🤔💙🤍

[@ebonyrose97]

ive literally been thinking this since i was a kid! thank you for the validation!!! also belle's dress is obviously gold

[@erracht]

You've managed to convince me. BTW, in the read-along storybook with cassette that I had as a 4-year-old back in ye olde days of 1984, the illustrations made Cinderella's dress...PINK!

[@Jagdtoq]

Obviously it's a combination of silver and white. Her gloves are white and so are the shoulders and hips of the dress. Head band is silver too and has diamonds like the dress.

[@zelmaz.5738]

I also grew up in the '92 VHS and I remember being so sad I couldn't get a doll with a silver dress! I could not understand why all the dolls wore blue!!

[@puerinsomnio8936]

I once had a "fight" with two girls who insisted Cinderella's dress was blue. I was try to present my arguments when they basically belittled my opinion because I was a man and therefore wasn't as good as distinguishing colours (yes, that was literally the argument they used). I basically just shrugged it off and thought "not worth the effort".

[@uznaimat7072]

The silver color is absolutely gorgeous and I’m in love with it. But there’s another reason why it’s believed to be blue. People associated Cinderella with that color because that’s the color we see throughout the film. She wears as a child, in the opening narration. Her nightgown is a beautiful shade of blue. As are the sleeves of her workwear. Her iconic glass slipper is also a shade of blue. The royal castle and the film’s title are both blue. The reins of the horses and the footman’s attire clearly have blue accents. This is so frequent that the in direct-to-video sequel, Cinderella wear a blue version of her workwear. So naturally, when we her ballgown shadowed in blue, we’d assume it’s blue, because that the color that appears everywhere.

[@Lezl0rLetztlich]

I didn't know this was a thing, always knew her dress was some kind of silver. I loved the side by side versions! Thanks!

[@cartooncottage2024]

The live-action fairy godmother has a prettier dress than Cinderella's blue dress.

[@kaylenfreeman3862]

that was the most convincing thing ever also i can see now that it is silver idk why they would change it silver is more classy and elegant than a blue can ever be i mean the blue still is nice but it’s not the same also thanks so much for sharing this with us!! you are truly amazing!!
