Cinderella is a 1950 American animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney and originally released by RKO Radio Pictures. From hut to hut, from house to house, went the Prince. One young woman after another tried to fit her foot inside the glass slipper. But none could fit. And so the Prince moved on.

Insisting that Cinderella will go to the ball, the Fairy Godmother magically transforms a pumpkin into a carriage, the mice into horses, Cinderella's horse, Major, into a coachman, and dog, Bruno, into a footman, before turning Cinderella's ruined dress into a shimmering pale blue ballgown and her shoes into glass slippers. Maybe Mom’s do give kids this book to make children aim high. And so I read this book as a child, and yet I never aimed high enough to want to marry a prince. I knew they were scalawags. It didn’t help kids that Shirley Temple grew up and married what’s his face from wherever. That was so romantic when we reached our teens.. And it didn’t help that Americans were and still are enthralled with kings and queens from England. And then there were those mothers who wanted us to marry doctors or lawyers. Impact of setting- The story takes place in and around Cinderella's home and the king's castle in Germany. The time period is somewhere between the 1850's- 1880's. I know, Mother,” said the Prince.

At least it was the end of the movie, and the next one I watched with him.She is friends with mice and kind to birds that live in and around the château. Meanwhile, at the royal palace, the King is frustrated that his son, the Prince, still is not married. Cinderella is perfect example of a folktale that has been pasted down for so long that no one can remember who was the original creator of the story. It is a fairy tale that is loved by many, and has different variations, depending on who is retelling it. The Grand Duke informs the King that Cinderella, who remains anonymous, has escaped, and that the Prince wishes to marry her. Her stepmother, Lady Tremaine, is cruel to her, and she is jealous of Cinderella's charm and beauty. Additionally her two stepsisters, Drizella and Anastasia, cruelly take advantage of her. In spite of this, Cinderella is a kind and gentle young woman. Note: The decision was made to consolidate all Disney publications under the name Walt Disney Company.

Then I will ask her to be my bride!” As Cinderella leaves for the ball, the Fairy Godmother warns her the spell will break at the stroke of midnight.
