Day 15 - The first movie you saw in theaters
Before all of you start commenting on how truly remarkable I look for someone who'd have to be pushing seventy to have seen Cinderella in theaters, I will point out that this was obviously a limited-release revival of a movie in theaters at a point in time where movies had yet to really take off on VHS (much less DVD and formats beyond). I have huge holes in my memory, and even my memory of seeing this in theaters is patchy and vague, I know it's real. I remember going to some older theater in or around the town I grew up (which now has exactly no movie theaters in it). I remember seeing this movie. Not The Little Mermaid, which is certainly the first first-run movie I remember seeing in theaters. Somehow, somewhere, I saw Cinderella in a movie theater when I was only just young enough to retain patchy images of the red chairs in the dark theater, my mother seeing it with me, and Cinderella's updo. (Yes, that's what I remember.)

Bizarre.

Up until the advent of DVD, the equivalent of release "from the Disney vault" was a theatrical re-release.

Makes sense. One thing Disney's always been good at is making money.
