What is Cinderella about?
Cinderella lives with her cruel stepmother and stepsisters, who make her work from morning until night. When they are invited to a grand royal ball, Cinderella is left behind. Then a kind fairy godmother appears, using magic to give her a beautiful dress, sparkling slippers and a coach. Cinderella dances with the prince but must leave before midnight, when the magic will end. The prince searches for the mysterious girl, guided by the glass slipper she leaves behind.
