Cinderella

Set in a whimsical, fairytale world, Cinderella is a timeless classic by Disney that tells the enchanting story of a beautiful young girl, Cinderella, who faces unimaginable hardships and yet overcomes them to achieve her dreams. The film begins in the quaint town of King Stefan and Queen Vivian's kingdom, where Cinderella's father has just passed away. Following his demise, Cinderella's life undergoes a drastic transformation as her stepmother, Lady Tremaine, who had been a close family friend of the late king, takes over his estate. Lady Tremaine believes that Cinderella's father's estate is rightfully hers and her two spoiled daughters', Drizella and Anastasia, inheritance. The once loving Cinderella is treated like a servant by her stepmother, forced to live in the attic and perform all the household chores, including looking after her step-sisters. The family's kindness towards Cinderella ceases to exist as she becomes nothing more than a lowly servant. Desperate for Cinderella to prove her worthlessness, Lady Tremaine arranges for her daughters to meet the handsome Prince Charming, who is looking for a bride to marry. Cinderella's stepsisters are excited at the prospect of getting married, while Cinderella harbors secret dreams of a magical life with the prince. However, despite her hopes, Cinderella's rags-to-riches dreams seem impossible to achieve, especially since her evil stepmother has no intention of allowing her to get close to the royalty. One day, Cinderella's Fairy Godmother, a wise and benevolent figure, appears to her in the garden. With the key to Cinderella's desires, her Fairy Godmother transforms a pumpkin into a magnificent golden carriage and mice, into enchanted horses. She also helps Cinderella choose a beautiful ball gown made of sparkling blue material. Cinderella doesn't have time to test the magic as the clock strikes midnight. However, before leaving the ball, she rushes back to change into her rags and leaves behind the glass slipper, an exquisite token of the enchanting night she spent with the handsome Prince Charming. Having fallen in love with the mysterious girl from the ball, Prince Charming embarks on a mission to find the owner of the glass slipper. Cinderella's stepsisters also vie for the prince's attention by trying on the glass slipper, but it fits none of them. As the search continues, the prince discovers that Cinderella is indeed the mysterious girl he danced with the night before. However, Cinderella is tricked into returning the glass slipper early to her evil stepmother, who aims to take her stepsisters to the palace with the sole intention of crushing Cinderella's spirits once and for all. But Cinderella doesn't lose hope; her determination and selfless love ultimately help her achieve her dreams. Finally, filled with joy, Prince Charming arrives at Cinderella's house, accompanied by his loyal servant, Jaques. When the glass slipper is tried on the girls of the household, it is Cinderella who fits it perfectly, confirming that she is indeed the girl from the ball. With Cinderella's love and kindness transcending the boundaries of her rags-to-riches story, she becomes Prince Charming's true companion. The film progresses as Cinderella tells her Fairy Godmother about the magic of the glass slipper which helped her in becoming the prince's bride. Overjoyed, Cinderella, along with Prince Charming, goes through a royal wedding ceremony in the grand palace surrounded by their friends and family. The timeless classic by Disney has won hearts for decades with the relatable story of Cinderella's pursuit of her dreams despite being treated poorly by her step-family.
