@disneynetwork members event: favorite silver era characters ↳ Cinderella - Cinderella (1950)

We know that Cinderella’s stepsisters are pretty much her antitheses in just about every way, from their appearances to their general demeanors. The major contribution to their differences are the ways in which they were raised. Drizella and Anastasia were spoiled, pampered, and lived the easy life, so they have become very selfish, ungrateful, vain, needy, and unkind. On the other hand, after her father died, Cinderella was constantly mocked, abused, bossed around, forced to do all of the work, and pretty much treated like dirt every day. But despite her hard life, Cinderella remained a nice, kind, gentle, caring person.

So while living rough has made Cinderella turn out for the best, living easy has made her stepsisters turn out for the worst.

Anastasia and Drizella act extremely childish and immature many times during the course of the film, and I have said before, this is because they have been excessively spoiled all their lives. I think this supports my belief that they haven’t changed since they were kids. If anything, they are just more childish and more spoiled than they used to be. The girls are unable to do anything for themselves, much less think for themselves, since their mother or Cinderella has always catered to their every whim and desire. Growing up, they always got what their wanted when they wanted it, had things their own ways, and even if anything ever went wrong or not their way, they always took the easy way out by blaming others.

So now, even though they are all grown up, being raised the way they were has caused Drizella and Anastasia to develop extreme feelings of entitlement. They think life will always be easy and things will go their ways all the time. But since they have been raised in only this one way, Drizella and Anastasia would never be able to adapt to the realities of the world, or living any other way. They would have this false concept that they can live life easily for the remainders of their lives.

My point is, Drizella and Anastasia have never experienced the hardships that Cinderella endured in her life. They are so incompetent and unable to do or handle anything of which Cinderella is capable, so they would never be able to deal with any kind of pressure or torment. If either of them were given the chance, it wouldn’t be too long before they reached their breaking points and started throwing tantrums and screaming for their mother or someone else. Additionally, if they faced torment or even something scary or dangerous, I believe that Anastasia and Drizella would behave like cowardly fools. They would cower in fear or just run away because they wouldn’t know what to do.

So from these examples, it’s not to difficult to realize that these two idiots wouldn’t know how to act or do anything if they were in Cinderella’s shoes.

Now that part about shoes was an inside joke right there. Drizella and Anastasia have much larger feet than Cinderella, whose feet are about half their size and quite dainty. The girls’ foot sizes are especially noticeable when the stepsisters try, and fail miserably, to fit Cinderella’s small glass slipper on their big feet.

So as we see from those scenes, Drizella and Anastasia would not be able to put themselves in Cinderella’s shoes, in a literal sense, since their feet are much too large. In a figurative sense, the girls would still not be able to put themselves in Cinderella’s shoes because they have not experienced a difficult life. These two dummies would not know how to handle or do anything Cinderella can do.

In my opinion, not only is the 1950 film Cinderella one of Disney’s greatest animated films, but one of the greatest animated films of all time. It is so beautiful and wonderful that I actually hold contempt and great dislike for the sequels. Part of it stems from the fact that they were made by DisneyToon Studios and not Walt Disney Animation Studios, and so I consider the animation and stories by the former to be inferior. But I have more personal reasons about why I don’t like the sequels than just the differences in the animation.

The two Cinderella sequels were made more than 50 years after the original film was released. By now, all of its cast and crew is deceased, including Walt Disney, and only they could tell audiences what is canonical to the film or not. Due to the year differences between the films, it just makes me wonder how much their filmmakers could keep the characters similar to their original film counterparts. I have a feeling that the people who made the sequels might have made them the way they want them to be. Like it was done that Cinderella had a reconciliation with her stepfamily; in this case, with Anastasia, because it is what the filmmakers wanted to happen.

However, in the original film, neither Drizella nor Anastasia appear to have any redeeming qualities, which makes me believe that the chance of either of them turning good would be very unlikely. I honestly can’t see Drizella or Anastasia ever wanting to make amends with Cinderella after their mistreatment of the latter. This is particularly because they have no concept of the difference between right and wrong or good and bad. Not to mention their mother taught them that what they did to Cinderella was not bad or wrong, so I think that the chances of them changing after behaving badly for years is very slim. And let’s not forget that they have had this lifelong jealousy of Cinderella that I don’t think will ever stop. It’s obvious to me that they would continue to hate Cinderella with a burning passion after the latter married the prince, because she again succeeded at something that they failed to do. On a minor note, since the Tremaines hate Cinderella, they would be glad to have her out of their lives once she got married. But simultaneously, they would still be furious that she, of all women, won the heart of the prince when they couldn’t, and even with Cinderella gone, they no longer have someone to do the housework, boss around, or torment.

In terms of preserving continuity with the original title character, I don’t think the sequels strayed too far because Cinderella is still portrayed to be so good and pure of heart that I don’t think she would hate her stepfamily and be prone to forgiving them if given the chance. If you remember what I have said in the past, Cinderella never acts out with anger and sadness in the original movie because she does not want to stoop to the Tremaines’ level and act just like them. That is just what they WANT her to do! And Cinderella does not want them to think they can take away her dignity and pride, nor will she let herself be their victim.

I got to thinking that if they ever attended the castle for balls or parties, Drizella and Anastasia would still view Cinderella as the girl they loved to torment, not as a princess, even though she would now be legally above them in terms of social class. So if the three Tremaines were ever alone with Cinderella after the latter’s marriage, I think they would treat Cinderella no different than they used to treat her. But if they were in the presence of Cinderella AND the prince, then they all would become afraid and kiss up to her in her presence. But even if they feared her, they wouldn’t be genuinely nice to her, nor do I believe they would ask Cinderella for forgiveness. Hell, I can bet their mother never taught them about forgiveness, either.

I have to admit, given what they did to their stepsister in the original film, I would like to know what it would have been like had Anastasia and Drizella encountered Cinderella again after her wedding. But I don't think the concept with Anastasia redeeming herself is what would happen if WDAS made the film instead of DisneyToon. Like I said earlier, these two dipsticks have no real redeeming qualities, and they have hated Cinderella for almost their entire lives; a hatred I doubt would ever fade, especially and even after Cinderella married the prince. She succeeded once again where they failed completely.

No, in my mind, Drizella and Anastasia would continue to hate Cinderella for years beyond the events of the movie. They are their mother's daughters, and Drizella and Anastasia have no love in their hearts, so they are not worthy of asking for forgiveness and reconciling with their kind, loving stepsister.

I read your analysis on how Lady Tremaine only cared about improving her social status and it made me wonder how things would be like if either Drizella or Anastasia becomes Prince Charming’s wife. Let’s face it: the Tremaine girls are awkward, vain, selfish, spoiled & on top of it all, lazy. And considering the kind of people they are, it seems so likely that when their mother told/ordered them to study in order to master a skill (or to polish them in Lady Tremaine’s view), they did it out of reluctance. So once their mother is satisfied, they would just completely forget what they learn. Like when we were in elementary/middle/high school and we have to study for upcoming exam(s) (especially if the subject(s) was/were our least favorite), we would just study said subject(s) for the purpose of passing the exam(s) only. Once we pass, we completely forgot it, because for us, those aren’t important. But if we love the subject(s)-and passionate about it/them, we would learn over and over again, at every chance we got, even if there were no upcoming exams. Now it’s hard to say about both Drizella & Anastasia regarding the example I stated above, since they’re not the main focus. And it’s unknown whether they have any hobbies/interests, since it was never spoken of. But I have a feeling that they don’t have any, due to their upbringing, being extremely spoiled & pampered by their mother. Meaning they lack common skills, which would be disastrous in the future. If we keep on practicing our hobbies, it could develop into skills, which would be useful & necessary in the future when we’re searching for jobs/interacting with other people. Given the time period the film is set, it’s likely that the Queen wouldn’t have to worry about things the King always deal with, like taxes/economics, politics, geography, history, philosophy, diplomacy, etc. It’s possible that the Queen lives the life of leisure: making appearances, attending balls/parties, socializing, sumptuous foods, music/poetry/art, etc. But what if the King has an unexpected thing outside the kingdom that he must take care of? The Queen must take temporary responsibility of the kingdom of course. And here’s where skills are highly needed. Say the King retires so he can rest. His son Prince Charming becomes King Charming and either Drizella or Anastasia becomes Queen. But then King Charming has an urgent business and he’s required to leave his kingdom. So he left his wife in charge until his return. And here’s where things started to go downhill. Knowing what kind of people the Tremaine girls are, we can be certain that when people came to them, telling their problems, the Tremaines would just ignored them. And if they insisted to be heard (especially if they’re really in desperate need of help), the Tremaines would completely dismissed them, and worse, calling the guards to kick them out. And then they realize how terrible their new queen is. They told their horrible experience to other people. Other people who had experienced the same thing would confirmed it. Words began to spread through the people that their new queen is untrustworthy. And when King Charming returns, his people began to demand him to find a new queen. When Lady Tremaine hears about it, she would realize that her royal status as King Charming’s mother-in-law could be in danger of plummeting to the bottom. Oh the horror… On a different scenario, still related to the Tremaine girls’ lack of skills, I wonder what would happen to them if Lady Tremaine died. They would have no one to support them. I read your analysis on how they’re completely dependant on their mother, and it makes sense. Say Lady Tremaine dies, both Drizella and Anastasia no longer have someone to rely on. And because they have no skills, they just rely on the leftover fortune, which eventually would ran out & the girls had no choice but to sell the chateau & everything in it. And eventually, they would ended up becoming beggars on the streets. This is all because they don’t know how to spend money wisely.

I absolutely agree! If there is a good synonym for lazy, it would be a better description of Anastasia and Drizella. And yes, I don’t believe the girls have any hobbies except for bossing Cinderella around because we never see them do any skills that they would improve over time. They just don’t know how to take care of themselves, think for themselves, or really do anything at all! They have no sense of independence because only Cinderella or their mother has done everything for them growing up, further adding to their extreme laziness.

You make a really excellent point at how poorly Drizella or Anastasia would do as a queen and taking care of the kingdom if they had to do it. I think they only think that being the queen means that they will always look good, can do whatever they want and go wherever they please, order people around for their own amusement, and only do leisurely, fun things that involve no work whatsoever. But the girls never had any real responsibilities of taking care of others and listening to problems and concerns. So not only would they not know at all of what to do in such times, but the worst part of it is that the Anastasia/Drizella would not care, and this is because they’ve never cared about anyone except themselves! 

Being a princess or a queen doesn’t mean having an image of being wealthy, bossing others around, and doing whatever you want. It’s a commitment that involves being responsible for the kingdom and everyone in it. A good princess/queen is fair and kind, and that’s what makes people love her. But Drizella and Anastasia show none of that, so they would do to people exactly what they did to Cinderella and worse, and those people would hate them for it. So yes, the more people to whom they were mean or ignored, the more they would tell more people, making their words absolutely honest, and then complain to the prince and his father about how awful they are. And everything would eventually come to it being their mother’s fault due to her being a poor influence on them and not a better enough teacher to educate them on being royalty.

In fact, even though it’s never portrayed in the film, if Drizella and Anastasia were faced with such big or scary challenges, completely unlike Cinderella, I think they would just act like cowardly fools. See, since their lives have always been easy, the girls have never dealt with pressure or stress like their stepsister. So if the opportunity ever came, they just would not know what to do because they’ve never experienced it before. In fact, Lady Tremaine thought she was helping her daughters by having everything done for them all their lives, but the truth is, she was helping Cinderella, not them. This is because they sorely lack independence and skills, have never done any sort of work, and have no ability to spend money wisely. Besides my headcanon that they are almost broke, I think Lady Tremaine was also demanding that one of her daughters marry the prince so that they would have someone wealthy to take care of them when she finally dies.

The Tremaine girls are definitely heading for trouble regarding their future, but Cinderella has the happy ending she completely deserved. It’s even because of her upbringing that Cinderella will be a wonderful queen who will be loved by all. She’s far greater at everything than her stepsisters will ever be, and more!

Is it just me or does Cinderella look scared that she’ll be hit by Anastasia in this screencap? This is during the scene when Anastasia is yelling at Cinderella and shaking her hand in Cinderella’s face. Cinderella’s reaction is to lean backwards and squeeze her eyes shut. After she opens her eyes again, she looks very scared here.

Oh yes, definitely! Anastasia and Drizella are much more likely to hit Cinderella, rather than their mother, when something goes for them and they place blame on her. I wasn’t sure if she thought Anastasia would hit her when the latter was shaking her finger, but I think Cinderella closed her eyes because that seems to be a natural reaction to what was being done before her. It’s also because Anastasia was leaning towards Cinderella while shaking her finger, and Cinderella backed her head away to avoid being hit. Now when she opens her eyes again, she sees that her stepsister isn’t going to hit her, but she is scared because Anastasia is going to tattle on her to Lady Tremaine. Cinderella knows that she’s in trouble (most likely again) for something that wasn’t even her fault.

Unlike Snow White and Aurora, Cinderella is the only classic Disney Princess who is never explicitly mentioned to be dreaming about romance. What she dreams of and wants is to have a better life, one where she can happy and away from the cruelty of the Tremaines.

However, despite her never directly saying so, I do believe that Cinderella’s greatest desire of all is to find love. This is because ever since her father died, for about ten years, there has been no one for her to love and to love her back. Yes, Cinderella has family who love her in the birds, mice, and her pets, but the fact remains that she been without love from humans for years.

Cinderella has been isolated from the outside world with no human friends or other family members and a stepfamily who have poor excuses to hate her. She is no doubt starved of affection because no human has hugged or kissed her, nor said, “I love you” to her, for so long. She is so good of a person that she wants to be loved, and NEEDS to be loved. As my friend foreverfrozensolid said, it would unrealistic for Cinderella not to desire love after the hard life she has endured. She deserves to be loved after all she has gone through.

Cinderella may not have been looking for love at first, much less in someone like the prince, but in the end, her dreams finally come true by her having a better life and someone to love at long last.

I always found this scene to be a bit humorous because it’s another example of showing Drizella and Anastasia’s stupidity and ignorance.

While at the ball, after the prince bows to them, he raises his head and looks up. The girls notice this and smile awkwardly, thinking that he might be looking back at one of them. However, their ignorance and stupidity is shown because while they see the prince looking up, they don't realize that he is looking above them and at someone behind them. The girls are just pleased that he is looking in their direction that they don't seem to comprehend that he is not looking them in the eye.

So then when the prince begins walking, they still think he is approaching one of them. But once he walks past them, they look back at him and realize in disappointment (particularly Drizella, shown in the last gif) that the prince was never looking at them at all.

The other humorous part of this scene is the irony of just who is behind Anastasia and Drizella as they look at the prince. Earlier, they tore Cinderella’s pink dress to shreds in jealousy at how she still looked beautiful while wearing their discarded items and in fury because they knew Cinderella would outshine them with her natural beauty in front of the prince. So they left the chateau thinking that Cinderella was without a dress any longer and that it kept her from attending the ball entirely.

Because of all that, I just find it somewhat funny how the girls think they have a chance with the prince during this moment, but then their chance is ruined when Cinderella, who looks even more lovely than before, is standing right behind them.

This is a long ask, so I put it in the “Submit” part.

Ok, so we all know that Cinderella had been reduced into a servant by her stepfamily. And when I read both your & Alan’s analyses on how Cinderella has no human friends, it got me thinking, “What about acquaintances?”

Here’s the thing: since the Tremaines had turn their only stepfamily member into their servant, I’m certain there were moments where they ordered Cinderella to go outside (town/market) to do errands for them, be it buying them things they demanded or buying ingredients to make something they demanded. And I’m certain they ordered her to go outside more than once (not on a daily basis of course).

Now, the scene where Cinderella gave corns to the animals for breakfast, one of those animals were a flock of hens (and a duck). So that means Cinderella has her own source to acquire eggs. But what about other ingredients? Like flour? Or salt/pepper/sugar/spices? Or milk? Butter? Potatoes? Cheese? Meat? Fruits? Vegetables?And many other ingredients that can be used to cook/bake. She doesn’t have the source for those, since the chateau doesn’t seem to have any crops that can grow wheat & veggies and/or any farm animals (like cows and/or goats that can produce milk). There’s also no trees that bear fruits. Therefore, the only way she could acquire them is none other than to buy them.

And since Cinderella is described as “gentle & kind”, I don’t think she had the heart to butcher the chickens that she owned. I think she would just go to the market & buy chicken meat instead.

Back to the first part, since the Tremaines ordered Cinderella to go to the market several times, though not everyday, I’m sure some of the shopkeepers eventually got to know about Cinderella & eventually became her acquaintances. And then there’s the possibility of them knowing about the Tremaines, since the Tremaines seem to be the only people of high class who aren’t royalty, while the rest of the town seems to be of middle and/or lower class. This clearly made them stand-out among the town people.

Now, how do I got this conclusion? Simple, I’m sure there are moments where the Tremaines were bored in the chateau, so they go outside (either told Cinderella to stay in the chateau & finish her chores or they brought Cinderella along just so they have someone to carry their expensive purchases).

Another thing is the people who used to work at the chateau when Cinderella’s father was still alive (before the Tremaines came & took over). I read your analysis on how Cinderella is a riches-to-rags-to-riches story & how the narrator described Cinderella’s former life (“every luxury and comfort”), my guess is that since Cinderella was taught to be kind & gentle, I’m sure she treated her (former) servants very well. Though this is absent in the 1950 animated film, it’s shown in the 2015 live-action version. Some of the servants even exchanged hugs with Cinderella after Lady Tremaine fired them, before they left the chateau permanently. This shows that Cinderella didn’t see her (former) servants as slaves. Rather, she sees them as fellow human beings & treated them on an equal level. But since they were not really close with Cinderella like her parents were, they can’t be considered as friends, though I’m sure Cinderella did consider them as friends (or even as part of the family).

That’s all I know, so I finish it here.

Yes, I have been thinking about that, with how part of Cinderella’s chores would have included going out into the market to buy food, clothes, and other needed items, more for her stepfamily than herself. And if they ever had guests at the chateau or had to go out with them, maybe there were acquaintances who noticed or thought that Cinderella might be abused by the Tremaines. Although I kind of wonder if Lady Tremaine did her best to keep a straight face in public, unlike her daughters. Notice how she does that with the Duke, but when only Cinderella is there, she shows nothing but harsh words and mental cruelty.

Now it’s hard to say since that’s not the focus of the film, but in that time, I have a hunch that no one maybe said anything because a lot of people would mostly mind their own business and didn’t want to get involved. People in the outside world who may have noticed this about Cinderella and the Tremaines probably didn’t want to believe that this could happen and that people can be so cruel to others, especially based on different social classes. Others may have been too afraid to do something, didn’t know what to do, or at worst, maybe they just didn’t care.

Another possibility is that Cinderella never told anyone because she was afraid that she could just get into more trouble. She has no human witnesses to back up her claims, of which Lady Tremaine would make sure didn’t happen if other people were around. Not to mention the Tremaines would just deny everything if other people and even the police or authorities were told by Cinderella. I guess as long as there was no actual physical abuse, they might not even take her abuse so seriously.
