Cinderella was first released by the Walt Disney Company in 1950 (IMBD). This is a story of a young girl who becomes a maid to her step mother and step sisters shortly after her father and mother die. She wants to go to the ball that is being held at the palace for the young prince, but her step mother does not allow her to go. With some help from her fairy godmother and her animal friends, she is able to go to the ball, but the spell will only last until midnight. Cinderella arrives at the ball and dances the night away with her prince charming when suddenly, the clock strikes twelve! She runs from the castle and in the chaos loses her shoe! The prince finds it and searches the kingdom to find her. He finally finds Cinderella and they live happily every after!
Today's featured princess is Cinderella!
Pros:
- Dreamer: A dream is a wish your heart makes! They can't order me to stop dreaming!
- Determined: When her step mother and step sisters ruined her chances of going to the ball, she didn't give up! She didn't give up on finding her prince either!
- Kind: She is kind to everyone she meets. Even the one's who don't deserve her kindness.
- Doesn't Complain: Not once does she complain to her step mother or step sisters for making her do all of their chores and duties. That takes strength.
- Doesn't seek revenge: Even after she finds her happy ending, she doesn't seek revenge on her family and she even welcomes her sister Anastasia into her heart in the second movie!
Cons:
- Loses shoes: How hard is it to find the right shoe size? Seriously! She needs to get her foot re-measured.
- Not Assertive: Even though she never complained, she never stood up for herself either.
- Naïve: She fell for the prince in less than 24 hours and even though we admire her optimism, she sees the world as a completely happy place and it isn't always great.
There have been many remakes to this classic tale, even a live action version released by Disney in 2015 (IMBD), but the original version will always be the Disney classic!
