 CINDERELLA

Cinderella is the much-loved only child of a

widowed aristocrat. After deciding that his
beloved daughter needs a mother's care,
Cinderella's father marries a proud and haughty
woman named Lady Tremaine. She too has been
married before, and has two daughters by her
first marriage, Anastasia and Drizella, who are
just Cinderella's age. Plain and socially
awkward, these "Ugly Stepsisters" are bitterly
envious of the beautiful and charming
Cinderella.
The family lives in happiness for several years, until the
untimely death of Cinderella's father. After that, Lady
Tremaine's true nature is revealed, and she and her spiteful
daughters take over the estate, and begin to abuse and
maltreat Cinderella, envious of her beauty. She is forced
into housekeeping responsibilities and made to wait upon
her jealous stepsisters like a maid. As Cinderella blossoms
into a beautiful young woman who is kind despite her
hardships, she befriends the animals living in the barn,
including Bruno the Bloodhound, Major the horse, and
many of the mice and birds who live in and around the
chateau. Cinderella finds a mouse inside a trap, releases
him, and names him Octavius, "Gus" for short. She is also
friends with a mouse named Jacques ("Jaq" for short), the
leader of a mouse-pack.
At the royal palace, the King is angry that his son does not intend to marry.
The King is determined to see grandchildren, so he and the Duke
organize a ball for the Prince in an effort to cause his son to fall in love
and marry, with every eligible maiden in the kingdom ordered to attend.

When the invitation to the ball arrives, Cinderella asks her stepmother if she
can attend. Her stepmother tells her she may go to the ball, if she finishes
her work and can find a suitable gown. To consume her time, her
stepmother sets Cinderella with a mountain of chores. Her mouse friends
Jaq and Gus use Cinderella's stepsister's discarded sash and beads to fix
an old gown that belonged to Cinderella's mother. When Cinderella
wears her dress before the ball, Lady Tremaine points out her daughters'
beads and sash, and the jealous sisters physically assault her, tearing the
gown to shreds, leaving Cinderella to run to the back of the garden in
tears while her stepfamily attends the royal ball without her.
Cinderella's Fairy Godmother appears to her in the garden, and
transforms her appearance for the ball. 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.
Cinderella departs for the ball after the godmother warns her
that the spell will expire at the stroke of midnight.

At the ball, the Prince rejects every girl, until he sees Cinderella,
with whom he is immediately smitten. The two dance
throughout the castle grounds until the clock starts to chime
midnight. Cinderella flees to her coach and away from the
castle, accidentally dropping one of her glass slippers. After the
Duke tells the King of the disaster, they plan to find Cinderella
with the slipper they found during her escape.
The next morning, a royal proclamation is issued, stating
the Grand Duke will visit every house in the kingdom to
find the girl who fits the glass slipper, so that she can be
married to the Prince. When this news reaches
Cinderella's household, her stepmother and stepsisters
begin hurriedly preparing for the Grand Duke's arrival.
Cinderella, overhearing, begins dreamily humming the
song from the palace ball the previous night. Realizing
Cinderella was the girl who danced with the Prince, her
stepmother follows Cinderella up to her attic bedroom
and locks her inside.
When the Grand Duke arrives, the mice steal the key to
Cinderella's room from Lady Tremaine's pocket and
laboriously drag the key up the stairs to her room, only barely
managing to free her after another fight with Lucifer, in which
Bruno comes to their rescue and scares the evil cat out of the
house. Meanwhile, Anastasia tries on the slipper, but her foot is
too big. Drizella tries on the slipper, and finds her foot is also
too large. As the Duke prepares to leave, Cinderella appears at
the top of the stairs, asking to try on the slipper. Knowing that
the slipper will fit and that Cinderella will marry the Prince,
her stepmother insists she's just a servant girl. The Grand Duke
sharply reminds her that every maiden is to try on the slipper.
As the footman bring the slipper to Cinderella, her stepmother
trips him, causing the slipper to drop and shatter on the floor.
Cinderella then reveals she has the other glass slipper.
Delighted at this indisputable proof of the maiden's identity,
the Duke slides the slipper onto her foot, which fits perfectly.
At the wedding, Cinderella and the Prince descend
the church's staircase, surrounded by confetti
tossed by the King and the Grand Duke.
Cinderella loses a slipper and retrieves it with
the aid of the King. As the film ends on a scene
of the two newly-weds kissing, the narrator
concludes "...and they lived happily ever after".
