Cinderella

Cinderella may just be the most commonly used fairy tale in Hollywood. It has been made into many movies derived from the medieval times, musicals, and so much more. Although in every film it has a similar plot. Cinderella is always given a pumpkin that turns into a coach; she has 2 horrible step sisters and a mean step mother who tries to prevent her from meeting the prince and falling in love.
In the Chinese version Cinderella is given gold, pearls, and a dress by a giant talking fish which is in comparison to her fairy godmother. Also instead of glass slippers she’s given fur slippers.
When the prince tries to find who the missing slipper belongs to the Disney story leaves out how the step sisters mutilate their feet to try and make it fit. Cutting off their toes and heels to make the slipper fit. When the Prince realizes that Cinderella is the one for him the birds peck out the step sisters, and mother’s eyes.
