Cinderella.

 

                                                   Cinderella.

 Cinderella is the 12th animated movie from Disney. Let me tell you, the 

first time I seen this I was in awe of the story and animation and I loved 

that they put a women in the lead role cause back then most movie 

companies were weary of doing something like but Disney did it and they 

did it very well. You can find this movie on Disney + and you can find the 

other Cinderella movies on there as well, now they are good movies but 

this one is the best of them all. So, with that, lets get to the story shall 

we:

Cinderella is living a dissatisfying life, having lost both parents at a 

young age and being forced to work as a scullery maid in her 

own château. Her stepmother, Lady Tremaine, is cruel to her, and she is 

jealous of Cinderella's charm and beauty. Additionally, her two 

stepsisters, Drizella and Anastasia, cruelly take advantage of her. 

Despite this, Cinderella is a kind and gentle young woman. She is friends 

with mice and kind to birds that live in and around the château. She 

protects the small animals from Lady Tremaine's cat Lucifer. Meanwhile, 

at the royal palace, the King is frustrated that his son, the Prince, still is 

not married. He and the Grand Duke organize a ball to find a suitable 

wife for the bored and picky Prince, requesting every eligible maiden 

attend. Upon receiving notice of the ball, Lady Tremaine agrees to let 

Cinderella go if she finishes her chores and can find a suitable dress to 

wear.

Cinderella finds a gown that belonged to her mother and decides to 

refashion it for the ball, but her step-family impedes this by giving her 

extra chores. Cinderella's animal friends, including Jaq and Gus, 

refashion it for her, completing the design with a necklace and sash 

discarded by Drizella and Anastasia, respectively. When Cinderella 

comes downstairs wearing the dress, the stepsisters are furious when 

they realize Cinderella is wearing their accessories and tear the dress to 

shreds before leaving for the ball with their mother. Heartbroken, 

Cinderella rushes out into the garden in tears, where her Fairy 

Godmother appears before her. Insisting that Cinderella go to the ball, 

the Fairy Godmother magically transforms a pumpkin into a carriage, the 

mice into horses, Cinderella's horse, Major, into a coachman, and dog, 

Bruno, into a footman, before turning Cinderella's ruined dress into a 

shimmering ballgown and her shoes into glass slippers. As Cinderella 

leaves for the ball, the Fairy Godmother warns her the spell will break at 

the stroke of midnight.

The Prince rejects every girl at the ball until he sees Cinderella, who 

agrees to dance with him, unaware of who he is. The two fall in love and 

go out for a stroll together in the castle gardens. As they are about to 

kiss, Cinderella hears the clock start to chime midnight and flees. As she 

leaves the castle, one of her slippers falls off. The palace guards give 

chase as Cinderella flees in the coach before the spell breaks on the last 

stroke of midnight. Cinderella, her pets, and the mice hide in a wooded 

area as the guards pass. The only remaining piece Cinderella has of her 

costume is the one glass slipper on her foot.

The Grand Duke informs the King that Cinderella, who remains 

anonymous, has escaped, and that the Prince wishes to marry her. The 

lost glass slipper is the only piece of evidence. The King issues a royal 

proclamation ordering every maiden in the kingdom to try on the slipper 

for size to find the girl. After this news reaches Cinderella's household, 

Lady Tremaine overhears Cinderella humming the waltz played at the 

ball. Realizing that Cinderella is the mysterious girl, Lady Tremaine locks 

her in her attic bedroom. Later, the Duke arrives at the château, and Jaq 

and Gus steal the key from Lady Tremaine's dress pocket and take it up 

to the attic as Anastasia and Drizella unsuccessfully try on the slipper. 

Lucifer ambushes the mice, but Bruno chases him out of the house, 

allowing the mice to free Cinderella. As the Duke is about to leave, 

Cinderella appears and asks to try on the slipper. Knowing it will fit, Lady 

Tremaine trips the footman as he brings the Duke the slipper, causing it 

to shatter on the floor. Much to her horror, and the Grand Duke's 

profound relief, Cinderella presents the Duke with the other slipper, 

which fits perfectly. The film ends with a now-married Prince and 

Cinderella at their wedding, sharing a kiss as they leave.
