FAIRY TALES - CINDERELLA




With a wicked stepmother (Eleanor Audley) and two jealous stepsisters (Rhoda Williams, Lucille Bliss) who keep her enslaved and in rags, Cinderella (Ilene Woods) stands no chance of attending the royal ball. When her fairy godmother (Verna Felton) appears and magically transforms her reality into a dream come true, Cinderella enchants the handsome Prince Charming at the ball, but must face the wrath of her enraged stepmother and sisters when the spell wears off at midnight.



Summary   of the Story.

Cinderella came from a noble family. She is the only daughter of a wealthy and widower duke who has remarried to provide her with a stepmother and two stepsisters. Cinderella's mother died due to illness when she was still a young girl, leaving her with a doll, favorite dress, and a pair of glass slippers.
The story begins with the departure of the father of Cinderella for a long business trip. Unfortunately, she was then left alone with her stepmother and her two stepsisters, Catherine and Jeanne, who are bitterly envious of her beauty. Afterwards, things change for Cinderella; she ends up handling all the chores in the house, and is forced to live in a small room in the attic of the villa.
Fortunately, Paulette, her Fairy godmother, watched over her, secretly removing troubles that Cinderella faced in various situations as well as giving her the gift of being able to communicate with animals. Cinderella soon befriended four little friends who aided her whenever possible; Patch, her dog, Chuchu and Bingo, two clever little mice and a little bird named Pappy.
During one of the few occasions when Cinderella is able to go into town (she is virtually segregated at home to cope with household chores, while her two stepsisters are out having fun), she meets a strange young man who only identifies himself to have a connection with the prince of Emerald Castle. Cinderella initially does not trust him and calls him a fibber repeatedly. However, Cinderella does not know this guy is none other than Prince Charles himself, who, unwilling to stay at the castle to take lessons from his tutor, sometimes runs under the disguise of Alex, his page and great friend.
This marks the beginning of many adventures, including hunting, discovering enchantments, betrayal and conspiracies of the palace that feature the Prince (almost always in disguise) Cinderella and her friends, and her step-mother (who hopes to marry one of her two daughters to prince Charles) but in the end, Cinderella discovers the true identity of the boy to whom she called a liar several times and is distraught and desperate; how will she make up for what she said to the prince?
Meanwhile, the king is organizing a big royal ball, to which all the unmarried girls of the area are invited, so that his son Charles can find a woman to marry. The step-mother and the two step-sisters were angry that Cinderella was also invited.
After Cinderella helped her two step-sisters and her step-mother get ready for the ball, she quickly changed her clothes, wearing her deceased mother's dress. Eventually, the step-mother insists it was an insult and forbid her to go. Then, her step-mother and her two step-sisters tore up her invitation.
The Fairy Godmother, Paulette, always ready to help Cinderella with her magic wand gives her mother's beautiful gown a makeover and pairs the dress with the beautiful glass slippers; Cinderella can now go to the ball, but must return before midnight hour when the magic is completed.
This time, Cinderella is to be incognito at the ball; prince Charles does not recognize that the beautiful princess who appeared out of nowhere was the companion of many adventures, but, come midnight, Cinderella is forced to flee, losing a shoe on the staircase of the building. The prince was fascinated by the mysterious princess, but deliberately hides away in his room to mourn the fact that she ran from him. Eventually his tutor and page Alex begin searching house to house to find her, as it was proclaimed that the person whose foot fit into the shoe would become the bride of the prince and thus, after many difficulties, Cinderella was proved to be that girl and was brought to the palace. On the day of the marriage, Duke Zaral had something else in mind, he gave poison to the prince in his drink and kidnapped Cinderella. He took her to top of the Clock Tower and forced the king, Charles' father, to give up his kingdom in lieu of Cinderella since his son was no more.
Suddenly prince Charles, who did not really die, appeared with the palace guards. He explained that he had already known about Zaral's plan and acted accordingly.
A fierce battle ensued between Zaral and the prince, at last Zaral fell from the Clock Tower. Cinderella and prince Charles were married and lived happily ever after.
