 Cinderella  is the much-loved daughter of a  widowed aristocrat. He decides to remarry, believing his beloved daughter needs a mother's care. Ultimately, Cinderella's father marries his step-wife, a proud and confident woman with two daughters from a previous marriage. The plain and socially awkward stepsisters are bitterly envious of Cinderella's beauty.



 After Cinderella's father dies, the stepmother reveals herself to be a cold and cruel tyrant who shares her daughters' jealousy of Cinderella's charm and beauty. The Stepmother and her daughters take over the estate and begin to abuse and mistreat Cinderella, ultimately forcing her to become a scullery maid in her own home, while also squandering off the fortune until there was nearly nothing left.



 Despite this, Cinderella remains a kind and gentle woman, befriending the animals in the barn and the mice and birds who live around the chateau. For with each dawn, she found new hope that someday her dreams of happiness will soon come true.





 At the royal palace, the King and the Grand Duke organize a ball in an effort to find a suitable wife for the prince.

 Every eligible maiden in the kingdom is requested to attend. Cinderella asks her stepmother if she can attend since she is still part of the family. The Stepmother agrees, provided if Cinderella finishes her chores and finds a nice dress to wear.



 With Cinderella too distracted with extra chores, her animal friends, led by her mice friends, fix up a gown that belonged to Cinderella's late mother. They go and scoop up the stepsisters old beads and sash.



 The animals finish Cinderella's dress just as the carriage arrives. When Cinderella comes down wearing her new dress, the Stepmother compliments the gown, pointing out the beads and sash.



 Angered by the apparent theft of their discarded items by their stepsister, the stepsisters rip the gown into rags before snootily leaving for the ball with the Stepmother. Heartbroken, Cinderella runs outside to the garden.

She also transforms a pumpkin into a carriage, the mice into horses, the horse into a coachman, and the dog into a footman. Cinderella departs for the ball after her godmother warns her that the spell will break at the stroke of midnight.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;font-family:'HelveticaNeue';"> At the ball, the prince rejects every girl until he sees Cinderella. The two fall strongly in love and dance alone throughout the castle grounds. Her stepfamily thinks there's something familiar about her, but are unable to make the connection.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;font-family:'HelveticaNeue';"> As the clock starts to chime midnight. Cinderella flees to her coach and away from the castle, dropping one of her glass slippers by accident.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;font-family:'HelveticaNeue';"> Back at the castle, the Duke tells the king of the disaster. He also reveals, however, that the prince will not marry anyone except the owner of the slipper, and sets out to find her.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;font-family:'HelveticaNeue';"> The next morning, the king proclaims that the Grand Duke will visit every house in the kingdom to find the girl whose foot fits the glass slipper so that she can be married to the prince.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;font-family:'HelveticaNeue';"> When news reaches Cinderella's household, her stepmother and stepsisters prepare for the Duke's arrival. Overhearing this, Cinderella dreamily hums the song played at the ball. Realizing that Cinderella was the girl who danced with the prince, the stepmother follows Cinderella to her room and locks her stepdaughter in her room.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;font-family:'HelveticaNeue';"> When the Duke arrives, he asked the stepsisters to try on the slipper. When Cinderella was free, she requests to try it on. The Duke slides the slipper onto her foot and it fits perfectly.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;font-family:'HelveticaNeue';"> Cinderella and the prince celebrate their wedding and lived happily ever after.
