The story of Cinderella continues to enchant
and move audiences around the world,
even decades after it first appeared.
The beloved animated film by Walt Disney Studios
tells the story of Cinderella, a kind-hearted
young woman who lives with her wicked
stepmother and her lazy, selfish stepsisters.
They constantly belittle her and force her to do
all the household chores.
But there's one thing they can’t take from her:
her dreams.
Despite her hardships, Cinderella
continues to sing and dance,
joined by her animal friends, especially the
two cheerful mice, Jaq and Gus.
One day, a letter from the King’s palace arrives:
a royal ball is to be held! The King is searching
for a bride for his son, the Prince, and every
eligible young woman is commanded to attend.
Thanks to a little magic from her kind Fairy
Godmother, Cinderella receives a beautiful
gown and a grand coach, just in time for the ball.
But the magic comes with a catch, it only lasts
until midnight. Cinderella captures the Prince’s heart,
but as the clock strikes twelve, she must flee.
In her rush, she leaves behind a single glass slipper.
Determined to find the mystery girl, the Prince
begins a kingdom-wide search. Every maiden
must try on the slipper—and only one foot fits...
It’s hard to believe, but the Cinderella film
had a long and winding development.
Some of the early scripts date all the way
back to the 1930s! It wasn’t until 1948
that Disney finally decided to bring Cinderella to
the screen, a risky decision at the time,
since the studio’s last major hit,
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937),
was more than a decade old,
and Disney was in a financially uncertain position.
