Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl named Cinderella. She lived with her wicked stepmother and two stepsisters. They treated Cinderella very badly. One day, they were invited for a grand ball in the king’s palace. But Cinderella’s stepmother would not let her go. Cinderella was made to sew new party gowns for her stepmother and stepsisters, and curl their hair. They then went to the ball, leaving Cinderella alone at home.
Cinderella felt very sad and began to cry. Suddenly, a fairy godmother appeared and said, “Don’t cry, Cinderella! I will send you to the ball!” But Cinderella was sad. She said, “I don’t have a gown to wear for the ball!” The fairy godmother waved her magic wand and changed Cinderella’s old clothes into a beautiful new gown! Before leaving, the fairy godmother said, “Cinderella, this magic will only last until midnight! You must reach home by then!”
When Cinderella entered the palace, everybody was struck by her beauty. Nobody, not even Cinderella’s stepmother or stepsisters, knew who she really was in her pretty clothes and shoes.

    Once again, it is up to her fairy godmother and the prince to rescue her from a life of cruelty. Marriage is her ultimate goal, as it is seemingly her only chance at escape. The movie revolves around beauty and impressing others. Cinderella could have easily gone to the ball in her everyday clothes, but instead she knew that she needed to wear something fancy to impress the men she might meet. Additionally, the prince falls in love with her before they even speak, contributing even more to the idea that beauty is the most important. Despite the fact that she disobeys her step-mother’s orders to not go to the ball, Cinderella still manages to embody innocence and remain submissive to those around her (Baker-Sperry…

    In Perrault’s version, Cinderella was forbidden to attend the royal ball, yet in Disney’s allowed her, but only after completing tasks that her evil stepmother thought would be impossible. Concerning the royal ball, Perrault’s version of the event was over two-night period, while Disney’s version was only one night. I believe Disney minimized this to ignore Perrault’s more realistic and self-sufficient character that disobeyed not once, but twice in order to seek her own happiness. In contrast, Disney chose to enhance Cinderella’s reaction with a more love-stricken bliss as she daydreams while humming to the song that she and Prince Charming sang together “So this is love…” (Geronimi, Luske, & Jackson, 1950). During the slipper scene of Disney’s Cinderella, the evil stepmother attempted to destroy Cinderella’s destiny by locking her in her room and going so far as to trip the Grand Duke causing him to drop the glass slipper. Disney created suspense and made viewers think that Cinderella may not live “happily ever after”, after…

    “Why, Grandmother, what big teeth you have!” Almost anyone would recognize those words addressed to the big bad wolf in the fairy tale” Little Red Riding Hood,” just as most people would also recognize “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo” as the words of the fairy godmother from “Cinderella.” What most people may not realize, however, is that although “Cinderella” and” Little Red Riding Hood” are both fairy tales often read to children as bedtime stories, “Cinderella” is actually a much better fairy tale because of the description of the main character, the kind of conflict involved, and the theme of that particular story.…

    The Disney princesses have been a staple in American culture for many generations. From Cinderella to Snow White these princesses have been adapted into different stories, cultures, and forms of art. On March 17, 2017 at Moline High School, I attended the yearly musical, this year being Cinderella. As I entered the auditorium, an usher took my ticket and greeted and told me to enjoy the show, which I appreciated. The auditorium was pretty packed; however, I had gotten a reserved seat. Cinderella, Cherrie Herberg, had a warm and timid personality, which was perfect for Cinderella. She had a few times during her singing parts that could have been stronger, but overall her singing ability shone through. Cinderella really did well with the song…

    This time the bird threw down an even more spectacular dress than before. This time her slippers were gold. Again that night, Cinderella and the Prince danced the entire time. When she was ready to go again, the Prince wanted to follow, but Cinderella had escaped again. This time she left behind one of her gold slippers. The next morning the Prince told the King that his wife would be the one who could fit the golden slipper. The first stepsister had to cut off her big toe in order to get the slipper on. The Prince took her on his horse and as they passed the hazel tree the birds cried out: “Turn and peep, turn and peep, There’s blood within the shoe, The shoe it is too small for her, The true bride waits for you”. The Prince looked down and saw the blood and took her back to the house. The stepsister told him, that her sister is the true bride. The other sister then tried on the slipper and was able to get her toes in but her heel was too big. So she had to cut her heel down some in order to be able to fit the slipper. Once she walked out, the Prince took her to his horse. Again as they passed the hazel tree the birds cried out: “Turn and peep, turn and peep, There’s blood on the shoe, The shoe is too small for her, The true bride waits for you.” Again the Prince turned around and took her back to the house and asked if any other lady stayed there. The family said, “no,…

    And it worked! She ran up into her room and I think she was crying because of us, not her father’s death. A day after the ball, a man came to our house and told us that he need us to try on a shoe, because the princes will marry whoever the shoe fits. “I think the girl who the prince liked at the ball was wearing that shoe.” My sister whispered. I tried it on and so did my sister. It did not fit, but then Cinderella came down and asked to try it on I said that was outrageous because she was home doing chores when the ball was going on.

    In the original story of Cinderella “the sisters struggle to squeeze their feet into the golden (not glass) slipper.”(Berman) The sisters gruesomely cut parts off of their feet in an attempt to get their feet into the slipper, which is something you would never even imagine seeing in a Disney movie. Some might say that it was for the best that the tales were changed from their original forms into something more childish. However in reality they were sending a much better message.“In the Grimms’ world, evil may rule, but their is also the utopian promise that with a sense of right and wrong, plus some magic, one might be able to live happily ever after.”…
