I like everything about Disney.I remember me growing up watching Disney cartoons and movies. Disney is loved by kids, teens and older ones. It's everywhere now; in TVs, games, parks and for sure in our homes.
I want to talk about a Disney princess famously known as Cinderella. Cinderella is a fairy tale that everyone at least once during their lives has heard about it. The story was written by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm brothers in 1800's and was called "Cinderella". It's the one and only fairy tale that was always popular and always will be the one story that every child need to hear at least once. The story might be a twist, but in the end, everyone

This story is teaching us about the good and the bad.It's known by everyone, and was produced by Walt Disney and became a big debut in 1950. Cinderella is an American fantasy film which and was released by Radio Picture. Cinderella has more than 700 different version in the world. It is the most popular fairy tale and for sure every girl once in their life tries to be like Cinderella.
Here is the story of Cinderella. She was living a very difficult life. She lost her two parents and was working as a scullery for her stepmother Lady Tremaine and the two stepsisters; Drizella and Anastasia. Cinderella was a very kind girl and she had friends like mice and birds. One day the king organized a ball to find a wife for his son. When Tremaine gets the invitation she says that she will let Cinderella go to the ball only if she finishes all housework and if she can find a dress to wear. Cinderella took her mother’s dress and decided to change it, but when stepmother and sisters found out about it, she gave extra work to her to do, but her animal friends decided to refashion
She feel she’s became a princess. Later the prince went to the Cinderella’s house. The two daughters tried on the shoe, but it doesn’t fitted the shoe was too small. Her mother recognized the shoe is not fitted in. she cut her daughters’ toe and heel because if she became the queen, then the queen doesn’t need to walk.
The motif of Cinderella in the new movies is about a poor young girl finding her true love and success, which soon inspired many other movies and books with similar
She truly embodied a woman of the early 1900’s. She wasn’t allowed to do or go as she wanted to, like her step sisters but was forced to work. For Example, “There she had to do hard work from morning till night, got up before day break, carry water, light fires, cook and wash” (121). The ideal housewife of this time earned her training within homes centered around the principles preparing the woman to take her of the household. Cinderella was isolated from
Cinderella is one of the most common archetypes used today, along with her deep story put into different perspectives. Three examples of this are Cinder by Marissa Meyer, “Cinderella” by Brothers Grimm, and “Adelita” by Tomie de Paola. Each of these stories used the archetypes of her common important family member or pet, her stepmother, and her terrible family, along with how she always has some form of work or job. Next, in all three of these books “Cinderella” always has a terrible step-family.
Cinderella’s stepmother constantly gives her stepdaughter hard work to do, but Cinderella perseveres, which fuels her determination to attend the ball and become the prince’s bride. Although the task is unreasonable, for Cinderella’s embarrassment and suffering only, Cinderella does not give up. Her menial task only pushes Cinderella to want her opportunity to be with the prince more, proving her determination and the benefit of being allowed to go with her stepsisters, shown by, “Then you may go with us”. Cinderella is tired of the life she lives and desperately wants a new one. This is why the benefit of being able to attend the festival makes Cinderella determined to clean up her stepmother’s
Due to the lack of things such as media, people’s concerns with aspects of pieces of work were not as known allowing the older works to have less influence by the outside world. This is also allowing for the reality and the brutal truth of how life really goes to show. With Disney releasing their version of Cinderella in 1950, and there being more media communications at this point, Disney was able to adapt their story to appeal to a wider audience. More people didn’t want to see a girl being treated as poorly as Cinderella was in the Grimm version so therefore many aspects of the original story was
Cinderella's step family treats her very poorly so she runs away into forest and meets a charming prince who she then falls in love with. The prince assists she goes to a ball being held soon to see her again. Right when Cinderella gives up all hope to go to the ball her fairy godmother appears and makes her a beautiful dress, glass shoes, and a carriage out of a pumpkin with a spell that will make everything disappear at midnight. Ella goes to the ball and as soon as she knows it she is at the ball dancing with the prince. She was having so much fun she barely notices it is about to strike midnight and rushes out leaving only her glass slipper to track her.
The Cinderella tale has been at the heart of many stories for generations. People have become very familiar with the storyline, as it is very prevalent in society today through many moderns movies and stories. The Cinderella story is adored by young children, more specifically by young girls. However as a more feminist culture has emerged, society’s viewpoint of fairytales is becoming increasingly negative. In, “The Princess Paradox” and “Cinderella and Princess Culture”, authors James Poniewozik and Peggy Orenstein further evaluate themes found in the Cinderella stories.
It is nearly impossible for a tale to be passed down generations and still stay the same. The fairy tale “Cinderella” told by the Grimm brothers is almost 206 years old, and differences can be seen between the modern “Cinderella” story and the original. In “Cinderella,” by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, a young girl named Cinderella is treated like a servant by her family. Luckily she is gifted with beautiful clothing, enabling her to attend a festival, meeting her one true love. Cinderella gets married to the prince, and the step-sisters are punished by getting pecked in the eyes by birds.
From its onset with its first feature-length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937, Disney has grown to become a worldwide phenomenon today. But over the years, various parent groups, scholars and film critics have accused Disney for creating shallow, stereotypical princesses whose ultimate aim was to find her 'prince charming ' and live happily ever after. In her article, “What’s Wrong With Cinderella?” in the New York Times, Peggy Orenstein expresses her concern over the effect of princess figures like Cinderella on young girls ' perceptions of themselves and how they should behave (“What’s Wrong With Cinderella?”).
When the prince arrives at Cinderellas’ house the step sisters both try to convince the Prince the shoes belongs to each of them; one sister cuts off her toes to make her foot fit and the other cuts off her heel to fit into the gold slipper. The prince believes both sisters at first until the help of the Cinderellas’ birds, the prince realizes what they have done and the shoe does not belong to them. The birds sing “Back again! Back again! For she is not the true one that sits by thy side”.
As the time is winding down she is faced with her ordeal. As she runs to make it back before the changes begins she loses a shoe. Seconds later she sees the magic wearing off giving her an image of what could have happened if she stayed back for a minute longer. Cinderella obeys the order that she leave the ball by midnight, and in doing so, she sets up the ultimate test. The Prince must search her out for a second time.
The film Cinderella can be considered the ideal Disney fairy tale since Cinderella fits perfectly within the criteria of a princess: blonde hair, pretty face, slim figure, sings very beautifully (when one bird wants to chime in, another bird hushes it in order to hear her
The story is about a young girl named Cinderella whose widowed father remarries but soon dies, leaving his daughter with the evil stepmother and her two daughters. The stepmother prefers her own daughters over Cinderella and has her perform all of the house chores. While Cinderella is kind, patient, and sweet, her stepsisters are cruel and selfish. Meanwhile, across the kingdom the King decides that his son the Prince should find a suitable bride and marry and so invites every eligible maiden in the kingdom to a fancy ball. Cinderella has no appropriate dress for the ball so her friends the mice namely Jaques and Gus, and the birds help her in making one, but the evil stepsisters tear apart the dress on the evening of the ball.
She transformed the pumpkin into a grand coach, the rat into a coachman, the two mice into footmen and the four grasshoppers into four stunning white horses. Next, she transformed Cinderella’s already-beautiful dress into a more exquisite dress; all blue and sparkly. Her sandals became a pair of unique glass slippers and in no time at all, she was all set for the ball. For the first time ever, she was surprisingly impressed with someone else’s efforts for her. She hurriedly got into her coach, but before the coach moved, Fairy Godmother warned her to be home by midnight.
