Every time I hear someone complain about Cinderella's lack of ears I imagine some poor Disney animator from the 50's/60's going, "We had to draw everything by hand. We had to color everything by hand. Do you know how many additional pencils, paper, paint and cels we would have used if we had just added her ears? Forget about the additional time. And with no computers to correct anything if we make a mistake. We would have to start over from scratch."

And Walt Disney was a perfectionist. He would have made everyone start over until it was perfect. There's a reason why cartoon designs and backgrounds were much simpler back then than the Disney movies from the 90's and up. Computers are a God send to animators.

Besides, you can't argue with a classic!

Oh my God, right-click saved.

I can appreciate the need for simplicity. Unfortunately Cindy's hairstyle didn't cover up the shortcut in the long run as well as Snow White's and Aurora's. One could also argue that if she'd had ears in her original design in the first place, they wouldn't have needed 'additional' material. I also wonder if ears weren't considered particularly princessy anatomy back then. The princes got ears and so did Cinderella's stepfamily. It was a different time, though, like you say, not just in terms of technology but what people expected out of their animation. Hyperrealism's a fairly modern trend.

But she clearly has ears for the most part of the movie - in her work clothes and when her hair isn't up, you can see them - simplified but still clearly present. The ballgown is the only point where you can't see them because they're hidden by hair and headband and she only wears that for, what 10, 15 minutes of the whole movie?

I know they're there, it still looks funny.
