A second predecessor for the Cinderella character, hailing from late Antiquity, may be Aspasia of Phocaea. Her story is told in Aelian's Varia Storia: lost her mother in early childhood and raised by her father, Aspasia, despite living in poverty, has dreamt of meeting a noble man. As she dozes off, the girl has a vision of a dove transforming into a woman, who instructs her on how to remove a physical imperfection and restore her own beauty. In another episode, she and other courtesans are made to attend a feast hosted by Persian regent Cyrus the Younger. During the banquet, the Persian King sets his sights on Aspasia herself and ignores the other women.

[27] The character was animated by Marc Davis and Eric Larson, [3] but the two animators did not have the same perception of the character, accentuating the elegance of Davis and Larson's opting for simplicity. [4] As with other Disney films, Walt Disney hired actress Helene Stanley to perform the live-action reference for Cinderella [5] and the artists drew animated frames based on the movements of the actress. [6] This technique was also used for the characters of Princess Aurora ( Mary Costa) in Sleeping Beauty and Anita Radcliff ( Lisa Davis) in 101 Dalmatians.

The glass slipper is unique to Charles Perrault's version and its derivatives; in other versions of the tale it may be made of other materials (in the version recorded by the Brothers Grimm, German: Aschenbroedel and Aschenputtel, for instance, it is gold) and in still other tellings, it is not a slipper but an anklet, a ring, or a bracelet that gives the prince the key to Cinderella's identity. In Rossini's opera " La Cenerentola" ("Cinderella"), the slipper is replaced by twin bracelets to prove her identity. In the Finnish variant The Wonderful Birch the prince uses tar to gain something every ball, and so has a ring, a circlet, and a pair of slippers. Some interpreters, perhaps troubled by sartorial impracticalities, have suggested that Perrault's "glass slipper" ( pantoufle de verre) had been a "squirrel fur slipper" ( pantoufle de vair) in some unidentified earlier version of the tale, and that Perrault or one of his sources confused the words. [57] However, most scholars believe the glass slipper was a deliberate piece of poetic invention on Perrault's part. [58] [c] Nabokov has Professor Pnin assert as fact that "Cendrillon's shoes were not made of glass but of Russian squirrel fur – vair, in French". [60] The 1950 Disney adaptation takes advantage of the slipper being made of glass to add a twist whereby the slipper is shattered just before Cinderella has the chance to try it on, leaving her with only the matching slipper with which to prove her identity.

Woods herself has collected widespread acclaim for her performance. Variety wrote, "Ilene Woods, as Cinderella’s voice, uses a sweet soprano." [38] Craig Butler of AllMovie opined, " Ilene Woods makes a marvelous Cinderella, her voice a combination of girlishness and sophistication; she also possesses a serenity and assurance which makes one feel she is more in control of her life than might be guessed by her surroundings." [50] At the time of Woods' death, animation critic and historian Charles Solomon told the Los Angeles Times, "one of the things about her performance is the warmth she gave the character. As soon as she began to speak, her voice meshed with Marc Davis' animation to create a heroine you liked instantly." [13] Monde, Chiderah (March 3, 2014).

She was sure the Fairy would let her go to the ball too. And she was right. Her godmother, pleased with her obedience, came in good time, and Cinderella, dressed in blue satin and pearls, went in the same style as before.

Short story by Unknown, originally by Charles Perrault

She prepares breakfast for the animals and for her stepfamily before beginning her regular chores. When the invitation for the ball arrives, Cinderella wants to attend. Her stepmother tells her she may only go if she finishes her chores and find something suitable to wear. Cinderella decides to wear her deceased mother's old party dress and hopes to fix it to make it more modern, but before she can do so, her stepfamily calls her downstairs to do constant chores to prevent her from attending the ball. Meanwhile, the mice and birds decide to surprise Cinderella by fixing the dress themselves. When they see Cinderella's stepsisters throwing down their old sash and beads, Jaq and Gus quietly retrieve them. Using the discarded items, the animals successfully fix the dress. By the time a carriage arrives to take the family to the ball that night, Cinderella has finished all her work but is despondent over having no time to fix the dress for the ball. She is overjoyed when her friends present her with the fixed dress. Cinderella hurries downstairs to join her stepfamily to go to the ball, but her stepsisters recognize their discarded items and accuse her of stealing their sash and beads. They tear the dress to shreds, leaving Cinderella behind, and she runs out to the garden, crying. The Prince, who had thought the moment he saw her that the poor girl was very much like the beautiful Princess, was delighted. He insisted on Cinderella telling him her story, which she did very modestly, and all listened with wonder. Ball, ballgown, carriage, curfew: There is a ball, and Danielle repurposes her mother’s old gown, but the carriage doesn’t have anything fancy to go along with it, and there is Cendrillon au Far West (2012), French/Belgian film set in the wild western age, written and directed by Pascal Hérold
