Release dates :
France - December 1, 1950 (1st French dubbing)
France - December 6, 1978 (1st French dubbing + new narration)
The opening song and narration were redubbed for this release. The rest of the dubbing was unchanged.
France - April 17(?), 1991 (2nd French dubbing)
Recordings made in February 1991
In the first dubbing (1950) and the redubbed opening (1978), the opening song was sung exclusively by a Soloist, unlike the original version, performed by a Choir with a Soloist part.
The process to pitch the voices of the mice was complex and the first dubbing suffered from the lack of experience; the mice are unintelligible for the most part.
For the second dubbing (1991), on the home media credits, Michel Chevalier was credited alone as the Prince, while actor Emmanuel Jacomy, who also dubbed Jaq, is his speaking voice. The Disney+ credits made the correction.
Dominique Poulain, the voice of Cinderella in the second dubbing, was originally cast as the singing voice only. But the producers liked her so much they asked her to try out the speaking parts as well, which she eventually got.
