Walt Disney is based on the fairy tale "Cendrillon"
by Charles Perrault. Released on March 4, 1950,

Helene Stanley was Cinderella movie's live action
model and Ilene Woods was Cinderella film's voice
actor. Mike Douglas was the Prince's singing voice
while William Phipps acted the part.

Once upon a time there lived an unhappy young girl.
Her mother was dead and her father had married
a widow with two daughters. Her stepmother didn't like
her one little bit. All her kind thoughts and loving touches
were for her own daughters. Nothing was too good
for them - dresses, shoes, delicious food, soft beds,
and every home comfort.

But, for the poor unhappy girl, there was nothing at all.
No dresses, only her stepsisters’ hand-me-downs. No lovely
dishes, nothing but scraps. No rest and no comfort. She had
to work hard all day. Only when evening came was she allowed
to sit for a while by the fire, near the cinders. That’s why
everybody called her Cinderella.

Cinderella lived with her stepmother
and her two stepsisters, Anastasia and Drizella.
They were very mean to Cinderella,
making her work all day cleaning, sewing,
and cooking. She tried her best to make them happy.

Cinderella's stepmother, Lady Tremaine,
was cold, cruel, and jealous of Cinderella’s
charm and beauty. She enjoyed giving
Cinderella extra chores to do, such as
bathing her cat, Lucifer.

One day, a messenger arrived with a special invitation.
There was going to be a royal ball at the palace!
And the stepsisters were getting ready to go.
The King wanted his son to find a bride.
Every young woman in the kingdom
was invited—including
Cinderella!

Cinderella was very excited about the ball.
In the attic, she found a dress that had belonged
to her mother. It was a bit old-fashioned, but
Cinderella could make it beautiful!

Lady Tremaine didn't want Cinderella
to go to the ball. She wanted the Prince
to meet Anastasia and Drizella. Maybe he
would marry one of them!
Lady Tremaine kept Cinderella busy with
chores that would take her all night to finish

While Cinderella was working, the mice
and birds fixed her dress. They added
ribbons and beads that the two stepsisters
had thrown away. Working together,
the animals turned a simple dress into
a fabulous gown!

Cinderella was overjoyed when she
saw the dress. Now she could go to
the ball! "Oh, thank you so much!"
Cinderella said to Gus, Jaq, and the
birds.

When the stepsisters saw their old ribbons
and beads on Cinderella's dress, they flew
into a rage. They ripped the dress and pulled
off the beads. Lady Tremaine didn't stop them.
Cinderella's dream of going to the ball was through.
