Synopsis
Abused by her stepmother and stepsisters, Cinderella is befriended only by her fairy godmother and the forest animals. One day she encounters Prince Charming in the forest. Later, her stepmother and stepsisters receive an invitation to a palace ball, but the invitation does not include Cinderella. When the night of the ball arrives, the stepmother and stepsisters leave in their finery, then Cinderella's fairy godmother appears. She turns a pumpkin into a coach, mice into ponies, rats into footmen and Cinderella's rags into a beautiful gown. Cinderella attends the ball and wins the Prince's heart, but as the clock strikes midnight the spell is broken and she rushes from the palace, losing one of her slippers. Finding the slipper, the Prince searches the kingdom for the owner until he finds Cinderella whose tiny foot is the only one that will fit the shoe.
