When Walt Disney Production re-released Cinderella in 2007, they published in a form of Two-Disc Special Edition DVD. In its extra, they enclose this brand new song. Well, it is still the song from Cinderella for sure, but it has been rearranged. Walt Disney add new verse of A Dream is A Wish Your Heart Makes and put the Disney Channel Stars to sing it. We can see Raven Simon, Orlando Bloom (from That’s So Raven), Dylan and Cole Sprouse, Brenda Song (from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody), and other stars sing it. It’s quite different from its original song, but I think it’s cool… I’ve also enclosed the lyrics here… Enjoy…

Here I write the lyrics of A Dream is A Wish Your Heart Makes, which is sung by Ilene Woods and the Mice chorus in one of Disney princess movie, Cinderella. Walt Disney worked together with Mark David, Al Hoffman, and Jerry Livingston in writing this song. This song teaches us to never give up to get what we’ve been dreaming of. Sometimes when I’m feeling down, or I feel that I could not get out from my problems, I just sing this song and pray, then I can move on. Hopefully you also can be like me and Cinderella. Enjoy the song! (Don’t forget, say NO to piracy! Get the song legal here)

A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you’re fast asleep
In dream you will lose your heartache
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true

… the dream that I wish will come true

No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true

Cinderella, one of Disney Princess I like. It is inspired from of fairy tales by Charles Perrault. It is one of the most famous fairy tales in the world. I’ve often wished I had a fairy god mother to help me through my problems. Cinderella teaches me to keep on dreaming, no matter how hard it is. The son The Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes. Well, everybody must have had dreams. It is quite simple, but according to Cinderella, the dream is our wish which is made by our hearts when we are sleeping. in other words, what we really want is reflected in our dream. No matter how hard we try to get our dreams, we have to keep on believing and trying. Then it will come true.

ABOUT THE MOVIE

Walt Disney made Cinderella in 1950, directed by Clyde Geronimi, Hamilton Luske, and Wilfred Jackson. It was produced by (of course) Walt Disney production. It was first released to the theaters on February 15, 1950 by RKO Radio Pictures. And it has been republished again in form of Two-Disc Special Edition DVD. It also received three Academy Award nominations for Best Sound, Original Music Score and Best Song for "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo".

ABOUT THE STORY

Cinderella lives happily with his father, after her mother passed away. When her father is getting married for a second time, Cinderella gets a new mother, as well as two stepsisters. But soon after that, Cinderella’s father also passes away. So now she has to live with her stepmother and her two stepsisters. Now Cinderella has to live under her mother’s order. She has to work as a maid in her own house, to fulfill her stepmother’s and stepsisters’ selfishness. Even the stepmother’s cat, Lucifer, lives happier than her. Her only friends are the mice, the birds, and her faithful dog.

In early scene when Cinderella gets bigger, it is told that Cinderella had a dream, that someday she will be happy and can find her true love. She hates being treated unfairly by her  stepmother, Lady Tremaine, and her stepsisters, Drizella and Anastasia, and even the big clock in the church tower which always tells her that he has to work again. She tells her dream to her animal friends, and sings. The song is The Dream is A Wish Your Heart Makes. She sings it to her animal friends, and in this scene also, Cinderella is going to bath helped by the birds while she is humming the song. Of course, then she has to work for her mother again.

Cinderella’s stepmother spoils her two daughter. So one day, when the Prince invites all girls in his kingdom to join the ball, Lady Tremaine gives her two daughter awesome dresses, but she doesn’t give Cinderella anything. In fact, she gives Cinderella more jobs to do, so Cinderella will not be able to prepare her dress to the ball.

Her animal friends gives her pity and they want to help her. When Drizella and Anastasia throw ribbon and necklace because they think it does not good enough to attract the Prince, the mice (Jaq and Gus) take it. With their friends (still mice and birds), they start to make a beautiful dress for Cinderella while she is working.

How surprised Cinderella is when she comes to her room and finds that her friends has made her a beautiful dress so she can go to the ball. Hurried, she is getting dressed and tries to catch up her step mother and sisters. Unfortunately, her step mother and sisters, who are afraid that Cinderella’s beauty will defeat them, tear her gown to shreds, leaving Cinderella to run to the back of the garden in tears while her step family attends the royal ball.

Every good people deserves the best, so does Cinderella. When she is crying, the fairy god mother comes and help her. While singing "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo", she transforms the mice into horses, Bruno the dog into a footman, Major the horse into a coachman, a pumpkin into the carriage, and transforms her torn dress into a beautiful blue dress with glass slippers. Her godmother also tells Cinderella that the spell will be broken in midnight, so she has to leave the ball before midnight. That is enough for Cinderella to attend the ball.

At the royal ball, Cinderella’s beauty soon attract Prince’s attention. They fall in love and dance together, forgetting the time. The clock chimes twelve times. Cinderella flees to the carriage, leaving one of her slippers accidentally.

The Prince doesn’t give up. He orders the Duke to find the girl who dances with her in previous night by looking the girl whose foot fits the slipper. The girl who fits the glass slipper will marry the Prince. Hearing that, Lady Tremaine wants one of her daughter becomes the princess. She also locks Cinderella in her attic bedroom.

Of course, no one could ever fit the glass slipper (is it true??) including Cinderella’s stepsisters. Jaq and Gus know that Cinderella has to be helped. They steal Cinderella’s room key so she can get out. When Cinderella calls the Duke that she wants to try the slipper, Lady Tremaine trips the Duke and causes the slipper to be broken. But it is revealed that Cinderella has its pair, and of course it fits!

And then Cinderella lives happily ever after.

DO YOU LIKE CINDERELLA?
Like usual, I love to share things i found in the web which are worth to be collected. There is a Cinderella Cake Pan so you can bake a cake (don’t forget to give me some… ). Or, if you don’t like to cook, but you love fashion, make sure you try if you fits Cinderella Glass Slipper. (Please… Tell me if it fit… )

If your daughter is like my students who loves Cinderella so much, consider to give her Cinderella Costume, I’m sure she’ll wear this all the time! Give her Cinderella Bed also Table and Chairs Set and she’ll love you more… To match your daughter, you can wear Cinderella Watch (it’s LIMITED!!! HURRY UP!!!). Then both of you are princesses… (count me in!)
