Q: I was recently listening to a Cinderella episode of the Mickey Mouse Theater of the Air show from 1938, and the voice of the Fairy Godmother sounded like Verna Felton, who did the voice in the 1950 animated feature. Did she do the voice both times?

A: That episode of the old Disney radio show aired on the NBC radio network on February 27, 1938. That would make it a dozen years before we made our Cinderella feature film. We do not have voice credits for that episode, but there have been Internet postings noting that Verna Felton was the Fairy Godmother.
