[quote="Nez"][quote="Disney Princess"][quote="APK"]Here's something I've never noticed before: When Cinderella is at the ball she doesn't know that the guy she's with is the prince. She's not looking for a happily ever after marriage, she just wants to go to the dance. When her dress is gone and the carriage is a pumpkin again she says something along the lines off "Well, that's that. Now it's over." So I don't think she was planning to dwell on that dream for the rest of her life.[/quote] That's actually the source of one of the main plotlines in the musical "Into the Woods." Cinderella in that version DOES know that it is the Prince she has danced with, but she doesn't know how to feel about his pursuit of her...as she puts it, "Wanting a ball is not wanting a prince." She actually leaves her slipper (which is gold, not glass, going along with one of of the older versions of the story) deliberately because there are multiple balls and she has fled after each one, so at the end of the last one, the Prince spreads pitch on the steps of the palace so Cinderella gets stuck and she decides that she's afraid to be caught in case he realizes that he doesn't like her anymore when he learns who she really is, but that she could leave behind something that might help him find her. :D It's a really good show; I recommend it![/quote] My little sister's high school is doing "Into the Woods". *wants to see it*[/quote]

In others, "the Stepmother's true nature" is revealed. I guess Disney couldn't have a loving father be alive and know this stuff was going on, but trust me, it does happen. <br />And, you're right. Where WOULD she go? Sometimes you've got to pick your battles. And, at the end, she left with the prince. She didn't say, "Well who will take care of my family?" So, she's not entirely a pushover. <br /> <br />I also noti</span> <table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Quote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">ce the way she holds her head up with a quiet dignity when she asks why she can't go to the ball. Throughout the film she had class and grace which her sisters didn't have and she probably doesn't want them to know they've gotten the best of her so she remains polite. (she only cries once in the movie and it's not in front of them) The rest of the film she keeps her head up.</td> </tr> </table> <span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />Well, twice, actually, but neither time was in front of them. <br /> <br /></span> <table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Quote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">And remember the scene when Lucifer (the demon cat) purposefully tracks his dirty paws on the floor Cinderella just cleaned? I love the way she throws down the towel and says "I'm just going to have to teach you a lesson!" and picks up the broom and advances towards him. <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> (even though she gave that whole speech to the dog about being kind to others) She even sicks the dog on the cat in the end!</td> </tr> </table> <span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />She's kind of sassy to the cat throughout the movie when the "steps" aren't around. Did anyone else notice that? It's kind of funny, because the cat can't tattle on her. <br /> <br /></span> <table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Quote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">When the fairy godmother comes she tells Cinderella that "all dreams must come to the end." The fairy godmother only wanted to give Cinderella a much deserved break and help her go to the ball for that one night, not help her get married.</td> </tr> </table> <span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />I never actually thought of it that way. No doubt the Fairy Godmother knew what the king's tactic was, but you could be right.

She's not looking for a happily ever after marriage, she just wants to go to the dance. When her dress is gone and the carriage is a pumpkin again she says something along the lines off "Well, that's that. Now it's over." So I don't think she was planning to dwell on that dream for the rest of her life.</td> </tr> </table> <span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />Oh, I loved how she really liked this guy she danced with, not knowing he was the prince. She loved him for who he was. I only wish they'd done a scene with them getting to know each other. Maybe they talked alittle. In a couple of different versions of Cinderella I've read, the ball lasted over a period of a few nights or a week. <br /> <br /></span> <table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Quote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">The original fairy tale wasn't great (every orginal fairy tale sucks until its adapted, imo)</td> </tr> </table> <span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />Well, that's a matter of opinion, like you said. But fairy tales have been adapted so many times, I think everybody can choose his or her favourite and be happy with it. <br />For whatever reason, I like the part in the original where the stepmother cuts up the step sisters' feet. <br /><img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> And then I think of Into the Woods. "No blood at all inside the shoe. This is the proper bride for you." <br />I don't think I own a version of Cinderella where the Stepsisters get their eyes pecked out. But then again, I've gotten some new fairy tale books since the last time I checked. And the foot-cutting is usually there. <br /> <br />~Hikaru</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
