9/10
"Cendrillon" stands out not only because of its storyline but also because of how it represents the birth of fantasy in film. Méliès didn’t just tell stories—he made magic happen on screen, setting the stage for all future fantasy films.

8/10
While the film is only about six minutes long, it manages to capture the magic and wonder of the Cinderella story through Méliès' visionary use of special effects and his understanding of how to create wonder through the lens of early cinema.

7/10
The fixed camera, which was common at the time, gives a theatrical feel to the film, but it also allows the viewer to focus on the entire scene as a whole—much like watching a live play from the audience. Each set feels like a crafted piece of artwork. 🎭🎥

6/10
Méliès was a pioneer of early film techniques, and "Cendrillon" is filled with effects that were groundbreaking at the time. He used camera tricks, double exposure, and splicing to create seamless transformations and magic on screen, which amazed audiences.

5/10
One of my favorite scenes in the film is the moment with the enchanted clocks. It’s a visually striking scene that shows Méliès' fascination with time and magic. The clocks tick away as if to signify the fleeting nature of the magic in Cinderella's world. ⏰✨

4/10
The use of theatrical staging also means Méliès could experiment with practical effects. In "Cendrillon," objects magically appear and disappear, like when Cinderella's rags are transformed into a magnificent gown! It’s an early display of cinematic ‘magic’.

3/10
One of the most striking aspects of Méliès' work is how his films feel like theatrical performances. The static camera and the elaborate set designs make each scene feel like you're watching a play unfold on screen, filled with color and movement.

2/10
The plot of Cendrillon follows the classic Cinderella tale we all know—a poor girl’s life transformed by magic, a grand ball, and a glass slipper that leads to her ultimate happily-ever-after. Yet, Méliès adds his own creative touch with enchanting visual effects!

1/10
Georges Méliès' 1900 adaptation of Cinderella, "Cendrillon," is one of the earliest examples of cinema merging with theater. Méliès was a magician at heart, and this shines through in his cinematic style, where every scene feels like a live stage performance brought to life.
