Storyline
After her mother died, Cinderella lived with her spoiled stepmother, two stepsisters, and her father, serving as a servant to the family. One day the family left for a ball, leaving Cinderella with chores assigned by her stepmother. When she finished, a Fairy Godmother appeared and gave her a chance to attend the ball, creating a dress, slippers, and a carriage from a pumpkin. The Fairy Godmother warned that after twelve o'clock everything would fade away. At the ball, Cinderella met the prince, and they fell in love and sang a duet. When midnight struck, Cinderella fled down the stairs, leaving one slipper behind. She returned home, and everything reverted.
