She goes to inform her stepmother that a carriage has arrived to take them to the ball. Later that night, Cinderella sees a carriage outside the château through a large window.


Jaq and Gus find a sash that Anastasia doesn't want anymore, as well as some beads are thrown out by Drizella, and take them to help fix the dress. The mice and birds, feeling sorry for her, take it upon themselves to repair the dress for Cinderella. She is about to begin fixing her dress when she is unexpectedly called downstairs by her impatient, needy stepsisters. She immediately delivers it to her stepmother, who tells her she can go-provided she finishes all her chores and is able to find something suitable to wear.Īfter thanking her stepmother, she goes back to her room, where she shows the mice and birds a dress that had belonged to her late mother. One day, Cinderella receives an invitation to a royal ball at the King's castle. Her only friends around the château are the mice (especially Jaq and Gus), the birds, Bruno the dog, and Major the horse. She is notable for being silenced repeatedly by Lady Tremaine, creating the assumption that Cinderella is expected to do chores without speaking out. She, her daughters, and their pet cat Lucifer abuse and mistreat Cinderella, ultimately forcing her to become a scullery maid in her own home.

However, after her father's death, Lady Tremaine reveals herself to be a passive-aggressive tyrant who is jealous of Cinderella's charm and beauty. Her father, believing she needed a mother's love, married Lady Tremaine, who has two daughters about her age Anastasia and Drizella. Cinderella is shown as a mistreated young girl who dreams of escaping the torturous life she has had to endure at the hands of her stepfamily.
