Cinderella's father was a good-natured, handsome, and wealthy gentleman from Disney's 1950 hit Cinderella who loved his only daughter dearly, lavishing care and tenderness and kindness on her.
Cinderella
The narrator described Cinderella's father as "a kind and devoted father, and gave his beloved child every luxury and comfort". Presumably, he brought the dog, Bruno, as a gift for Cinderella. However, he still felt that she needed a mother's care, and hence, he married again. But his choice was, unbeknownst to him, a very bad one: the outwardly kind, handsome and dignified, (but inwardly cold and cruel) Lady Tremaine, whose two daughters (Drizellla and Anastasia) shared the same dark, evil nature. His second wife and stepdaughters' true nature was hidden deep and well from him while he was alive, however, so he never realised the terrible mistake he had made. Upon his untimely death, all his wealth and his chateau was left to Lady Tremaine who, freed from her husband's watchful eye, revealed her true cold, heartless nature, forcing Cinderella to become the servant of her own house, and spent most of the inherited fortune on her own daughters, whose interests she was grimly determined to forward, even if it is at the very expense of her faultless submissive stepdaughter.
Given that, despite all the abuse, humiliation, and maltreatment she had to endure under her cold, unloving stepfamily, Cinderella remained ever gentle and kind, and finally found the happiness she sought simply by keeping faith in her dreams. If her father were to look down from heaven, he would definitely be extremely proud of his beloved child, and be considerably consoled that she no longer had to suffer because his terrible choice of a new wife.
