walt disney and his 9 old men put their own 1950 spin on the classic fairy tale of cinderella and which i guess you could say help form an unofficial fairy tale princess trilogy from the classic disney year . the plot represent cinderella be a nice girl who can not catch a break . she be the daughter of a nice and wealthy widower who love her dearly and but her mother pass away when cinderella be very young and and cindy father felt she need a mother figure and so he eventually marry the woman who would become know a lady tremaine and herself a widow with two daughter about the same age a cinderella and anastasia and drizella . at first they all seem to get along and but then cinderella father die and and lady tremaine true nature be reveal she be a cold and cruel and callous and heartless and mean spirit woman and and she pass those trait on to her daughter and who be spoil and bratty and and equally mean spirit . anastasia and drizella hate cinderella because they know deep down that she good look and an overall nicer and more attractive lady than themselves ( i. e. and more appeal to men ) and and their mother and lady tremaine and hat cindy for pretty much the same reason . a the year pass lady tremaine begin to squander the family fortune in a stubborn but futile quest to improve or refine her awkward and unattractive daughter ( to call them homely would be an insult to homely people everywhere ) while all three relegate cinderella to be the multi task servant of the house and abuse her and mistreat her and humiliate her every chance they get ( they be particularly fond of increase her already absurd workload ) . that bring u to cinderella in the present and where she have blossom into a good look young lady who somehow manage to remain kind hearted and nice despite her abusive step family and hold on to the hope that one day the table will turn in her favor . cinderella get her shot at freedom and happiness when a royal ball be hold to introduce the local prince to an eligible young maiden so that he can take her a a wife and settle down and start a family and etc . naturally and her step family try to keep her from attend and even go so far a to physically assault her and rip up the dress she have procure for herself ( with a little help from her mouse friends the dress belong to her biological mother ) . finally pushed beyond her breaking point and cinderella run out into the courtyard and cry in despair . it be at that point that her fairy godmother and a short and plump and jolly woman and arrives and provide cinderella with transportation and a transformed dress ( after all and cinderella wouldn not make a very good impression at the ball if she enter the scene look like she have just get gang rap ) . cindy arrives at the ball and the prince fall hard for her and but that pesky midnight rule get in the way and force her to flee and but leave behind a glass slipper . make a long story short after a long harrowing quest to find the mystery girl via try on the glass slipper and cinderella be find and she and the prince get marry and give her the happy end she deserve . overall and an enjoyable disney classic . not without it flaw and the most glaring of which be that the prince be little more than a macguffin to help push the plot along he have very little screen time and even less dialogue and so we never get to know him very well or get a good look at his relationship with cinderella ( which be unfortunate since and accord to the making of documentary and the prince be originally mean to play a big role ) and and a few additional scene to help flesh out cinderella herself might have be helpful ( there be a song that show her fantasizing of turn into an army of maid to clean up the house as well a eavesdrop on her step family post ball to show her amusement at their jealousy and which be cut because walt himself think it make her look spiteful ) . still and cinderella herself be a likable enough heroine and even if she be upstaged by her mouse friend and and there a sweetness to the film that be become hard to find these day . of course and if this be be make now and cinderella would probably put up more of a struggle against her family during the dress rip scene and would probably free herself in the climax ( either by pick the lock herself or make an impractical yet excite jump down from her window ) but this be beside the point . and for all those who say cinderella set a bad example for young girl and well and consider this at least cinderella do not go around get publicly drunk and indecently expose and unlike some modern day princess ( you know who i mean ) .
