    Cinderella (Little Golden Book), Walt Disney Company

    Cinderella is a 1950 American animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney and originally released by RKO Radio Pictures.

    Based on the fairy tale Cinderella by Charles Perrault, it is the twelfth Disney animated feature film. Directing credits go to Clyde Geronimi, Hamilton Luske, and Wilfred Jackson.

    Songs were written by Mack David, Jerry Livingston, and Al Hoffman. Songs in the film include "Cinderella", "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes", "Sing Sweet Nightingale", "The Work Song", "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo", and "So This is Love".

    It features the voices of Ilene Woods, Eleanor Audley, Verna Felton, Rhoda Williams, James MacDonald, Luis van Rooten, Don Barclay, Mike Douglas, and Lucille Bliss.

    Cinderella is living a dissatisfying life, having lost both parents at a young age, and being forced to work as a scullery maid in her own château.

    Her stepmother, Lady Tremaine, is cruel to her, and she is jealous of Cinderella's charm and beauty. Additionally her two stepsisters, Drizella and Anastasia, cruelly take advantage of her. In spite of this, Cinderella is a kind and gentle young woman.

    She is friends with mice and kind to birds that live in and around the château. Meanwhile, at the royal palace, the King is frustrated that his son, the Prince, still is not married.

    He and the Grand Duke organize a ball in an effort to find a suitable wife for the bored and picky Prince, requesting every eligible maiden attend.

    Upon receiving notice of the ball, Lady Tremaine agrees to let Cinderella go if she finishes her chores and can find a suitable dress to wear.

    Cinderella finds a gown that belonged to her mother and decides to refashion it for the ball, but her step-family impedes this by giving her extra chores.

    Cinderella's animal friends, including Jaq and Gus, refashion it for her, completing the design with a necklace and sash discarded by Drizella and Anastasia, respectively.

    When Cinderella comes downstairs wearing the dress, the stepsisters are upset when they realize Cinderella is wearing their accessories and tear the dress to shreds before leaving for the ball with their mother.

    Heartbroken, Cinderella storms out into the garden in tears, where her Fairy Godmother appears before her.

    Insisting that Cinderella will go to the ball, the Fairy Godmother magically transforms a pumpkin into a carriage, the mice into horses, Cinderella's horse, Major, into a coachman, and dog, Bruno, into a footman, before turning Cinderella's ruined dress into a shimmering pale blue ballgown and her shoes into glass slippers.

    As Cinderella leaves for the ball, the Fairy Godmother warns her the spell will break at the stroke of midnight.

    The Prince rejects every girl at the ball until he sees Cinderella, who agrees to dance with him, unaware of who he is.

    The two fall in love and go out for a stroll together in the castle gardens. As they are about to kiss, Cinderella hears the clock start to chime midnight and flees. As she leaves the castle, one of her slippers falls off.

    The palace guards give chase as Cinderella flees in the coach before the spell breaks on the last stroke of midnight.

    Cinderella, her pets, and the mice hide in a wooded area as the guards pass. The only remaining piece Cinderella has of her costume is the one glass slipper on her foot.

    The Grand Duke informs the King that Cinderella, who remains anonymous, has escaped, and that the Prince wishes to marry her.

    The lost glass slipper is the only piece of evidence. The King issues a royal proclamation ordering every maiden in the kingdom to try on the slipper for size in an effort to find the girl.

    After this news reaches Cinderella's household, Lady Tremaine overhears Cinderella humming the waltz played at the ball. Realizing that Cinderella is the mysterious girl, Lady Tremaine locks her in her attic bedroom.

    Later, the Duke arrives at the château, and Jaq and Gus steal the key from Lady Tremaine's dress pocket and take it up to the attic as Anastasia and Drizella unsuccessfully try on the slipper.

    Lady Tremaine's cat, Lucifer, ambushes the mice, but Bruno chases him out of the house, allowing the mice to free Cinderella. As the Duke is about to leave, Cinderella appears and asks to try on the slipper.

    Knowing it will fit, Lady Tremaine trips the footman as he brings the Duke the slipper, causing it to shatter on the floor.

    Much to her horror, and the Grand Duke's profound relief, Cinderella presents the Duke with the other slipper, which fits perfectly. The film ends with a now-married Prince and Cinderella at their wedding, sharing a kiss as they leave.

    Cinderella, Hallmark Movies and Finding a Good Man

    I walked into the living room the other day, and my husband was watching the end of a Hallmark movie. “What are you watching?” “I am watching a movie about a woman who is in love with a prince.” Ever since American politics has grown ugly, we sometimes sit and watch Hallmark movies, but this? At least it was the end of the movie, and the next one I watched with him.

    I thought then of the book Cinderella. Every child in America must have been given this book, just like they get Barbie Dolls now. I didn’t have Barbie Dolls, I had baby dolls and paper dolls of movie stars.

    Maybe Mom’s do give kids this book to make children aim high. And so I read this book as a child, and yet I never aimed high enough to want to marry a prince. I knew they were scalawags. It didn’t help kids that Shirley Temple grew up and married what’s his face from wherever. That was so romantic when we reached our teens.. And it didn’t help that Americans were and still are enthralled with kings and queens from England. And then there were those mothers who wanted us to marry doctors or lawyers.

    Me, I just wanted a handsome man. I grew up on Westerns; I knew what a man was supposed to be like. I also knew that they should be tall, dark, and handsome. I wanted a cowboy, but I didn’t know that then, so I married my high school sweetheart who was an American Indian. How ironic. But being Native American myself, but more white than he, my mother thought that he was too dark for me. Well, he was a lot of things, but not too dark.
    Ten years later we were divorced, and I was living in Berkeley looking for a doctor or a lawyer. I met a few of each, and I was so bored with these guys, not that all doctors and lawyers are boring. Then I tried dating a teacher, and he was neurotic like Woody Allen. I couldn’t take that kind of craziness, so I tried a dating a psychologist and almost married a psychiatric social worker. Nothing was working out for me.

    Then one day I walked into Café Med down on Telegraph Avenue, and I ran into an acquaintance, an aspiring writer named John Ratcliff. I sat down at his table and during our conversation I said, “I want a macho man.”
    He was shocked and replied, “What do you women want? I thought that you wanted us to change. What was all that in the 60s and 70s, a temper tantum?” He began to take notes when I said, “I want a man who can ride a Brahma bull.” He gave me his notes:

    Perfect Stallion Obeys the Rider yet Remains so Handsomely Male
    1. man, macho, stronger
    2. a tough, muscular, rides Brahma bulls
    3. “Yes, yes ma’am” to her and doesn’t sult when he loses
    4. a cake winnder who doesn’t talk too much and agree with the boss.
    What a Woman Must be to Cause a Man to be Macho
    1. shy, blushing
    2. never say “no’
    4. serve
    5. rule by asking him if suh and such isn’t just what he was thinking of
    6. think everything he does is great

    Sometime after this I went out and bought myself a pair of cowboy boots, I knew then that I wasn’t long for Berkeley. So I moved back to my home town of Paso Robles, CA, a cow town, and it was there that I met my macho man, a liberated one, and so we got hitched. He was a plumber, carpenter, electrician, Jack-of-all-trades, but mainly as a construction worker he built homes and plumbed them. While he wasn’t a real cowboy, he wore the hats and boots. Furthermore he never bossed me around. We worked on our house together. The most fun of living in the country outside of remodeling was gathering up wood, cutting it and stacking it. I have no idea why I enjoyed this.The least fun was when I drove my Berkeley purchased VW bug into a corral and had to keep the horses in until help came, and then we rebuilt the corral for our neighbor. Never pick anything up off the floorboard and hope to stay on the road.

    The moral of this story is this: What you like as a child you may possibly like as an adult. I loved westerns and have always hated doctor and lawyer TV programs. What was that old saying, “You can take the girl out of the country, but you can never take the country out of the girl. Then there is that saying, “Mamas don’t let your girls to grow up to be cowgirls.”

    As for me, I met the man that I wanted, and we have been married for 30 years.

  • Cadee

    "The chapters were each a little story. The first one was kinda sad because the step mom and step sisters gave her all the chores they had to do. In the next chapter Cinderella and the Prince got married and kissed on the lips. In the third chapter the mice got lost because the maid swept them away when they were by the fireplace. The gardener scooped them into cages. The Prince and Cinderella were riding on a horse and saw the gardener letting the mice go in the field. The 4th chapter was about a princess in disguise. Cinderella went to the store and wore a wig and maid costume, she cleaned the floors and at the end of the chapter the princess told the other maids that she was going to put wheels on the buckets so they wouldn't have to carry them around anymore. In the fifth chapter Cinderella woke up late and an old lady, her Grandmama, came and gave her some dresses for a picnic and an old movie called the theater. I liked this books because the Prince and Cinderella kissed on the lips." -Cadee, age 7

    "سندريلا" عرفت كيف تعطي تفسيراً للسبب الذي جعل كثراً من الفنانين والأدباء من كتاب قصة وموسيقيين ورسامين يجدون ضالتهم في الحكاية فيقتبسونها في أوبرات وباليهات ولوحات موجهة في غالبيتها للكبار بصرف النظر عن كونها في الأصل عملاً للصغار . والحقيقه
    ان ذلك الواقع "الاستثنائي" لا يشكل سوى نقطة أولى بين عدة نقاط اولا الإطار العام للمناخ العائلي الذي يخلق التمايز بين الإخوة، يشتغل على فكرة ينطلق فيها هنا من حكايات ألمانية تتحدث عن تنافس بين الإخوة يوصل واحداً منهم إلى أن يصبح ملكاً بعد ما كان مضطهداً بين إخوته. ثم من هذه الحكاية التي لا يكون فيها وضع الطفل استثنائياً، ولا تفرقة فيها بين أنثى وذكر، واسقاط على الكيفية التي تولد بها الغيرة بين الإخوة في البيت الواحد، ومن ثم يسهب في تفسير كيف أن الإخوة سرعان ما ينقسمون في استيعابهم لوضعهم قسمين: قسم، يعي وضعه ويشتغل عليه، وآخر، يشتغل ضمن حراك وعيه الباطن. وهنا في النقطة التالية إلى سندريلا وهي من ضمن نطاق تحليله الدور الواعي للعائلة في تلك الوضعية، كيف أن في خلفية وضعية سندريلا إحساس هذه الأخيرة الضمني بتفوقها على بقية نساء العائلة (الخالة والأخوات) ورغباتها النابعة من هذا التفوق؛
    إياك أن تجعل الخوف من الخسارة يدفعك لعدم اللعب

    First of all, do you have any idea how many people have the same size foot? Billions. Trying to find your true love based on her foot size is just preposterous. Although, as a kid, I thought his was a great idea! This fairy tale gives new light to fairy tales. It allows young girls to see that no matter where you come from or how bad life is, there is always a bright light waiting for you ahead. This book not only gives the readers something to look forward to because they want Cinderella to have a happy ending, but it also allows them to see how not to treat people as example by the step mother. Now the fairy god mother, maybe not ideal because not all are fortunate to have one of those, but it doesnt have to be a magical creature. Your fairy god mother could be anyone in your life that promotes you and makes you feel special. Now I dont think Disney wrote the book so that young children could see that, but reading it again I feel that deep down there is a good message of persistence and gratitude.

    This version of Cinderella by Walt Disney's Company is Cinderella in one of its simplest forms. Cinderella is forced to care for her stepsisters and step mother following the death of her parents. The Prince of the kingdom invites all the maidens of the kingdom to his ball, where he will choose a wife. Unfortunately they do not let Cinderella join them, and they destroy her dress. Before the end of the ball, Cinderella's fairy god mother fixed her appearance with a new dress, coach, coachman, footman, and horses. Cinderella goes to the ball, where the prince falls in love with her. Here is where his search for Cinderella begins.

    The book is filled with easy to read words, where the story is placed into its most simple form. Each double page spread is filled with pictures from Walt Disney's famous movie "Cinderella."

    I have always loved this book. It has a magical twist and the fate of Cinderella comes out as a happily ever after. I believe that this book is one of the most popular especially with little girls. This story combines attitudes, love, family, and respect. It's a book that I would highly recommend. I loved this book because of the illustrations that represent the whole story. I love how Cinderella is so sweet, friendly, and caring. Those traits are magical to find in one person and Cinderella accomplishes that. I loved the characters in this story and all the themes that go with it. It is truly a magical story that fits all children. When I read this story to children, I will enforce the magic that is in this story along with the kindness coming from Cinderella.

    This book was really well done. I really enjoyed it. It goes through the whole movie and doesn't leave huge details out. The pictures are all amazing and look like the movie. The only thing that could have made it better was if there were more details and more parts of the movie in the story. Not everything from the movie was included and I think the author left out some of the parts that should have remained in the story. Overall though the book was very good and definitely a good read for fans of Cinderella.
