Background
Disney.com Description
- Cinderella is kind to all, especially her mice friends. She has faith that if you keep on believing, your wish will come true.
Development
The Disney version of the Cinderella was based on the protagonist of the French version of the tale by Charles Perrault, "Cinderella", written in 1698 in Histoires ou contes du temps passé.Cinderella was animated by Marc Davis and Eric Larson, but the two animators did not have the same perception of the character, accentuating the elegance of Davis and Larson's opting for simplicity. As done with other Disney films, Walt Disney hired actress Helene Stanley to perform the live-action reference for Cinderella. She later was asked to do the same kind of work for the characters of Aurora in Sleeping Beauty and Anita Radcliffe in 101 Dalmatians.
According to Christopher Finch, author of The Art of Walt Disney:
| “ | Disney insisted that all scenes involving human characters should be shot first in live-action to determine that they would work before the expensive business of animation was permitted to start. The animators did not like this way of working, feeling it detracted from their ability to create character. The animators understood the necessity for this approach and in retrospect acknowledged that Disney had handled things with considerable subtlety. | ” |
Voice
About 400 contestants auditioned for the role of Cinderella. But out of them all, Walt Disney chose Ilene Woods, who at the time worked on the radio and did not know anything about the audition. But one day, her colleagues Mack David and Jerry Livingston asked her to sing a song from the Cinderella, and she agreed. Then, without saying a word to her, friends of Ilene transferred to the office of film Disney. After listening to the material, Walt Disney decided immediately that he had found the voice with which to speak and sing its main character, and contacted Ilene.Personality
Cinderella is a headstrong and independent young woman who is truly beautiful because she doesn't let her anger and sorrow get the better of her. She is kind to most and is in no way depicted as naive or childish. She is extremely mature and has shown that she can overcome her obstacles without the aid of magic. She has also been shown to have a slight sarcastic side to her, as seen in her comments about her stepmother and Lucifer, but she usually keeps them to herself, fully (and wisely) aware that if she does mouth off to her stepfamily, there will be major consequences she might face. Cinderella has shown to be rather intelligent and clever especially considering how poorly she was raised after the death of her biological parents. She has also proven herself to be very brave, unafraid to stand up to Lady Tremaine when she mocks her for wanting to go to the ball. She is also resourceful, evidenced by her using her mother's old fashioned dress and imagining a beautiful ball gown, sewing clothes for the mice, and planning to redesign her mother's dress to make it more contemporary. She is shown to be very patient and calm, but she also has a mean side in her as she has once tried to hit Lucifer with a broom (only because he ruined her cleaning) and on one occasion ordered Bruno to attack Lucifer (this is reasonable since she was locked up by her stepmother and her friend was in danger). She is rather clumsy as she drops her footwear many times in the original movie.While her love for Prince Charming is incredibly strong, marrying and/or finding her "prince" was not her main priority before she met him. Cinderella simply wanted to live a better life and escape the harsh world of her wicked stepmother, though she did have a dream that foretold of the ball.
She was also very kind to her little mouse friends. She never ever yells at people and she is very sweet even though her stepmother is so rude to her.
Physical Appearance
Cinderella is a gorgeous young woman with classically beautiful features. She is of average height, well-proportioned and slender with a softly-shaped kind face. Her skin is fair and flawless, her lips are pink, and her eyes a twinkling blue. Cinderella's hair is a beautiful strawberry-blonde (light strawberry-blonde in her childhood) and medium-length with soft bangs.In most of her appearances, she was seen in a maid's outfit which consisted of a dark brown bodice with aquamarine long sleeves and a brown, knee-length skirt. Her hair was tied back into a low ponytail with an aqua ribbon. She also wore a white apron and a pair of black ballet flats. On her occasional tasks, she wore a white kerchief.
For her first ball gown, she wore a frilly, sleeveless, pink-and-white dress with pink ribbons and a sash with jade-colored beads around her neck just before her stepsisters violently destroyed it.
Her second dress and most commonly seen Princess outfit, is a sparkling silver ball gown with a low-cut neckline and white peplum, cap sleeves, and petticoat underneath, and her glass slippers (where her toes seen through) are topped with sparkly hearts. (It should be noted, though, that the ball gown is often colored light blue in merchandise and later productions, and was even recolored as such in the original film's DVD and Blu-ray releases.) Her hair is pulled up into a variation of a French twist that is complimented with a light silver band over it. She wears a simple black choker around her neck and long evening gloves cover most of her arms.
In Cinderella II: Dreams Come True, the dress she had to wear was a pink, formal and rather puffy dress, with an ellaborate hairstyle with lots of pink bows. Her Royal Ball gown was sea green, rather like her originial, most known dress. She has a simple black choker with emeralds hanging on it. She wears a more sea green version of her original headband and evening gloves.
Abilities
Animal Empathy & Communication: Cinderella has a special talent to empathize with animals, perceive their language and communicate with them.Backstory
Cinderella's mother passed away at an indeterminate time prior to the beginning of the story. Some time later, her father married Lady Tremaine, who became Cinderella's stepmother. After the death of her father, Lady Tremaine forced Cinderella to serve the household as an ill-treated servant, which earned Lady Tremaine the distinction of being an "evil stepmother."Working as a housemaid, Cinderella's only friends were the mice, particularly Jaq and Gus, Major the horse, her stepsisters, and Bruno the bloodhound. Day in and day out, she was subjected to the harsh words and neglect of her stepmother, with only her dreams giving her the strength to go on.
My Disney Experience
- Cinderella never gave up on her dreams, and now she and Prince Charming live happily ever after.
