Hello Tiggerific Tuesday Blog Hoppers!
Today's Tuesday Trivia - Cinderella's dress is not blue.
 |
| No, I'm not color blind. |
I know what you're saying. "What on earth is she talking about? I have millions of pictures of my child with Cinderella and in every one of them Cinderella's dress just gets bluer and bluer."
 |
| Not quite as blue as Snow's top, but blue, nonetheless |

Nevertheless, if you go back and watch Walt Disney's classic Cinderella movie, her dress is clearly white and a soft grey or silvery white.
 |
| Yep, Grey, Gray or Silvery White. And her hair color changed as well. |
Don't believe me? Check out the iconic movie for yourself.

In the Platinum Edition Cinderella DVD and BluRay they recolorized Cinderella's dress to match the bluer tones of the Cinderella we see in the parks and merchandizing. They recolored her hair from strawberry to platinum blonde in the same version of the film. This is not the first instance of recoloring.

That dates all the way back to the original promotional material at the premiere of Cinderella in a blue version of her gown. So for everyone who was surprised by the transformation of Cinderella in 2012 to her current look, just realize Disney already has been dying her hair platinum for over sixty years.

| Cinderella, like Disneyland, "will continue to grow as long as there is imagination is the world." |
What Disney characters would you redesign if you could be the animator for a day and how?
I always wondered about the fact that her dress was blue! I like the blue though. :) Very interesting trivia this week.
