Doug (vo): People are always so split when it comes to Cinderella. Some say it's a charming fairy tale, others say it's an incredibly sexist story. I guess I'm somewhere in between. I mean, yeah. Did Cinderella really have to stay with that family? Could she have left at any time? Yeah, probably. But if the story is done right, you focus on the things that are the most important. Like how being a hopeful, patient, loving, and a hardworker can finally pay off. This is the idea they were trying to do with the new "Cinderella", that, in my opinion, doesn't really come across.

Story
Doug (vo): The story still seems basically on track. Cinderella is a young girl who has a father she loves very much, but he tragically passes away, leaving her with her stepmother and stepsisters. The three of them don't like Cinderella and immediately start to treat her like a slave. Trying to be optimistic, she obeys all their commands, hoping one day to accept their love, but she slowly starts to realize it's never gonna happen. She bumps into a young man who happens to be a prince, and they start to hit it off, until they find out their situation and realize that they probably never gonna be anything more than friends, if even that. But the father wants the Prince to marry, and so they hold a great big ball for him to socialize. The stepmother and stepsisters don't let her go to the ball, but, of course, a Fairy Godmother comes and shows her the way. Through kindness and magic, she transforms a pumpkin into a carriage and her rags into a beautiful dress, her shoes in the glass slippers, and she's off to the ball. She, once again, hits it off with the Prince, but she needs to leave, resulting in one of her slippers being left behind, and thus, the maiden who can fit the slipper will marry the Prince.
