  • It is unknown why the credits mention two people for Drizella, one credited under her Swedish name (Gabriella), and one under her English name (Drizella).

Svenska Dagbladet - December 19, 1950
"CHINA presents tonight Walt Disney's new full-length movie "Cinderella" with dialogues and songs in Swedish with the direction of Per Axel Branner. [...]"

Svenska Dagbladet - December 18, 1950
"The Swedish text adaption of Per-Axel Branner is a great success and guarantees that our kids get as much joy from the story as ever as the American and English ones."

  • Release dates :
    Sweden - December 18, 1950 (1st dubbing)
    The movie was censored in its original cinema release; though it's unknown today what scenes were.
    Sweden - September 18, 1967 (2nd dubbing)
    The movie was also censored for this cinema release; but it's also unknown today what scenes were cut out. We'll have to wait the 1991 cinema release for the film to be presented in its uncensored, original length. The movie was released for the first time in VHS only in 1992, therefore, never with the censorship.
  • The official reason given to the redub, only 17 years after the original, is that Swedish language had changed too much over those years. However, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, released much before in 1938, was redubbed only in 1982.
  • Some Swedish VHS credits wrongly displayed the 1950 credits cast, even though they showed the 1967 dubbing.
