In a far
away, long ago kingdom, Cinderella is living happily with her mother and father
until her mother dies. Cinderella's father remarries a cold, cruel woman who
has two daughters, Drizella
and Anastasia. When the father dies, Cinderella's wicked stepmother turns her
into a virtual servant in her own house. Meanwhile, across town in the castle,
the King determines that his son the Prince should find a suitable bride and
provide him with a required number of grandchildren. So the King invites every
eligible maiden in the kingdom to a fancy dress ball, where his son will be
able to choose his bride. Cinderella has no suitable party dress for a ball,
but her friends the mice, lead by Jaques
and Gus, and the birds lend a hand in making her one, a dress the evil
stepsisters immediately tear apart on the evening of the ball. At this point,
enter the Fairy Godmother, the pumpkin carriage, the royal ball, the stroke of
midnight, the glass slipper, and the rest, as they say, is fairy tale history.
