00:01But you must tell me your name.
00:03I dare not, Your Highness.
00:05Why not?
00:06I... I don't even belong here.
00:08Nonsense. The ball is in my honor, is it not?
00:11And as far as I'm concerned, you are the only one who does belong here.
00:14Now your name, please.
00:16It's... it's... oh...
00:18What's the matter?
00:20I must go.
00:21But you can't.
00:22I must.

00:41Reichen Bass presents Festival of Family Classics.
00:45All of the tales that you know so well,
01:02Features and fables will story tell.
01:06Each classic creation,
01:08In new animation,
01:10Today's presentation will be...
01:15Charles Perrault's delightfully enchanting fairy tale, Cinderella.
01:23Supreme of the whole family.
01:32Just one more notch.
01:38And...
01:39There.
01:40It's all finished.
01:42And a handsome lad you are too, Jack.
01:47Cinderella!
01:49Quick, Pickenback.
01:51Into your cage.
01:52Stepmother's coming.
01:53Here you are, with a mountain of chores to be done.
01:59And you're fooling around with that stupid pumpkin.
02:02But I already made the bed, scrubbed the floors,
02:05Tick the dishes, the laundry, and cleaned the kitchen.
02:07Well, now you can wash the windows, paint the house, and fix the roof.
02:11Then after you've prepared lunch,
02:13We'll see what else we can find to keep you busy.
02:17If only I could have some help.
02:19What?
02:20Are you suggesting that your stepsisters stoop to doing housework?
02:26Need I remind you that my daughters are ladies?
02:31Oh, but maybe...
02:32Hey!
02:33Oh, my babies.
02:35Oh, something must have happened to them.
02:38I was up here first.
02:41Well, if you don't get down from here, the whole ceiling will cave in.
02:45Oh!
02:46You and your big mum.
02:49Oh, linear.
02:51Fatima.
02:52Oh, my darling babies.
02:56Oh, did they hurt themselves?
02:58What happened?
03:00We saw mice.
03:02There, there, my precious ones.
03:06You go lie down until you get over this horrifying experience.
03:11Cinderella, I want you to bait a mousetrap and put it in front of the hole in the wall.
03:20And clean up this mess.
03:22Oh, yes, stepmother.
03:29There, I've baited the trap.
03:32But she didn't say anything about setting the trap.
03:35Come out, little mice.
03:37I have a nice piece of cheese for you.
03:41That's right, little one.
03:43For you and your friends.
03:45Oh, you're welcome, darlings.
03:48Now, you promised to stay out of sight.
03:51You frightened my stepsisters into a tizzy.
03:54Cinderella!
03:55Cinderella!
03:56You lazy scamp.
03:57I distinctly remember telling you to wash the windows.
03:59And what do I find?
04:00A speck of dust here?
04:01A fingerprint there?
04:02I'm sorry.
04:03I just didn't get a chance.
04:04Never mind your lame excuses.
04:05What's this?
04:06Lenya!
04:07What's this?
04:08Lenya!
04:09What's this?
04:10Lenya!
04:11What's this?
04:12Lenya!
04:13What's this?
04:14Lenya!
04:15What's this?
04:17What's this?
04:18Lenya!
04:19What's this?
04:21Lenya!
04:22Venya!
04:23Venya!
04:24Venya, come quickly!
04:25It's a knight in shining armor!
04:27And he's heading this way!
04:29A knight in shining armor!
04:31He's mine!
04:32I saw him first!
04:33You haven't even seen him yet.
04:35Besides, suppose he doesn't like whales.
04:38Why?
04:39You scrawny sliver!
04:41Harsh, girls!
04:42Here he comes!
04:44Hey!
04:45Come on, horse!
04:47Easy, will ya?
04:49Slow down!
04:51Oh!
04:52The suit is killing me!
04:54Whoa!
04:55Whoa!
04:56Whoa!
04:57Whoa!
04:58Whoa!
04:59My stars!
05:03A knight in shining armor!
05:07Tell me, good sir, what brings you to our humble abode?
05:13I got a royal proclamation for you.
05:16Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye.
05:18His majesty the king commands the presence of all fair young maidens.
05:23Here, that's stretching a point.
05:25At a royal ball tomorrow night in honor of his son, the prince.
05:30That he might select a bride.
05:33Oh!
05:34Oh, goodness me!
05:36A royal ball!
05:38To meet the prince himself!
05:40Come, girls!
05:41We must waste no time getting ready!
05:43No!
05:44But wait!
05:45We can't leave this poor man lying here.
05:47We've got to help him up on his horse.
05:49Thanks, but don't bother.
05:50I'd just fall off again.
05:52Just hand me the reins.
05:54If you say so.
05:56Getting up!
06:01Cinderella!
06:02Stop dawdling and come in here!
06:05You've got a lot of work to do to make your stepsisters beautiful for the ball.
06:09Cinderella!
06:10I want you to make me the most beautiful gown you can!
06:13Oh!
06:14You don't need Cinderella.
06:15You need Omar the tent maker.
06:17Girls!
06:18Girls!
06:19Don't fight!
06:20Cinderella will make a beautiful gown for each of you.
06:25But, Stepmother, the ball is tomorrow night.
06:28How can I possibly make a...
06:29You simply work through the night, that's all!
06:32Let's get out!
06:55likish!
06:58Yesssh!
07:01If she didn't have to use a mile of cloth to cover that bulk of yours, she'd have been done hours ago.
07:21In that case, yours should take just a few seconds. She can make it out of a kerchief.
07:27Now, don't fret. I'll finish in plenty of time.
07:36Tighter, Cinderella. Tighter. I want to have a nice shape.
07:41Oh, you'll have a shape, all right. Nice and round.
07:46Oh, my darlings. You are beautiful. One of you is sure to capture the prince's heart.
08:01Stepmother. What is it?
08:05Well, I have material left over. May I make myself a gown and attend the ball also?
08:11You? Such nerve. The royal ball is for ladies, not ragamuffins.
08:18Get up to the attic and clean your hovel. And don't ever forget your place again.
08:26What am I doing? I'm feeling sorry for myself, that's what. That won't do at all.
08:43Before my dear father died, he told me that if I ever wanted something very, very much, I should wish.
08:50Wish really hard on a wishing star. That's what I'll do.
08:58Look. There it is.
09:02Star light, star bright. First star I see tonight.
09:07I wish I may. I wish I might have the wish I wish tonight.
09:12Oh, my. What have I done?
09:24Oh, dear. Where am I?
09:28Who are you? Goodness gracious, you startled me.
09:33Oh, yes. Who am I? Let's see. Don't tell me. Who am I?
09:39Oh, it's right on the tip of my tongue. I've got it. I'm your fairy godmother.
09:45That means you must be Cinderella, right?
09:48Yes, I am Cinderella.
09:50Are you really my fairy godmother?
09:52Oh, yes. Yes, indeed.
09:54Lovely child. I knew your father well, darling man.
09:58You knew my father?
10:00Oh, but of course. And I promised him that if you ever wished for anything really hard, I would grant that wish.
10:08So here I am. Of course, I'm a little rusty at this sort of thing.
10:13I just knew daddy wouldn't desert me even after he died.
10:16Of course not, child. Now, let's get on with your wish. I do hope it's nothing difficult.
10:23All I want is to go to the royal ball. This calls for my magic wand.
10:29Magic wand of gold and teak. Dress my godchild ultra chic.
10:35Oh! Oh, you see? I haven't lost the old touch. I did it. I actually did it in one try.
10:46But what's wrong, child? Believe me, no one could be more beautiful.
10:52I just remembered. I have no way to get to the palace.
10:57Oh, dear. I never thought of that.
11:00Certainly a beautiful princess should arrive at the royal ball in a golden carriage,
11:06pulled by two white chargers with a coachman and footman in the very finest livery.
11:11For the coach, a hollowed pumpkin should do.
11:14And for the horses, birds usually work best.
11:17And I think mice would make an excellent coachman and footman.
11:21But where would we ever get...
11:23But I have them all right here.
11:26Come on out, little ones.
11:32Let's see now. How does that go?
11:35Ah, yes.
11:37Magic wand above reproach. Make this pumpkin a royal coach.
11:42Oh, dear. That will never do.
11:46Now, what could I have done wrong?
11:48Cancel that!
11:50Ah, I know. I didn't wave the wand properly.
11:54You see, it's all in the wrist.
11:56Oh, my. It's beautiful.
12:01Now, we need a pair of white chargers. You two will do nicely.
12:07And now, dear wand, your job, of course, is to change these lovely birds to horses.
12:16Oh, magic wand, I've got a yen to turn these three mice into men.
12:22Hey, you guys look different.
12:26I feel different, too.
12:28Hey, what did you put in that cheese, miss?
12:30Now, now, don't you worry. It's only temporary.
12:33Oh, that reminds me. The spell runs out at midnight.
12:37So you must leave the bowl before then.
12:39Yes, yes, I will. But... but...
12:42What's the matter, dear? Don't you like it?
12:45Oh, yes, it's beautiful. But how do we get it out of the attic?
12:50Oh, goodness. I always do that.
12:54Oh, magic wand, be a dear and make this house disappear.
13:03Oh, how could I ever thank you, Godmother?
13:06This is going to be the most exciting evening of my life.
13:09Don't mention it, my dear. Have a good time.
13:13Oh, don't forget. Be home before midnight or everything will change back.
13:20Oh, dear. I do hope she remembers. It would be so embarrassing.
13:33That's my daughter, Fatima, dancing with the Prince.
13:37Oh, your highness. You're such a wonderful dancer. We must make a lovely couple on the dance floor. You've noticed, of course, that I, too, am light on my feet.
13:52Mm, naturally, madam, you're dancing on mine.
14:01And then, of course, the Earl of Faversham proposed to me many, many times.
14:05But I told him, Earl, I said, I'm saving myself for a prince.
14:10Ouch.
14:11If you know what I mean.
14:13Well, here's another one of your brainy ideas, trying to pick a wife for our only son.
14:18We'll invite the fairest maidens in the kingdom. Then he'll surely find a wife.
14:25I've never seen such a collection of turkeys in my life.
14:28And what would you have him do? Spend his life as a philandering bachelor?
14:33Now there's your first sensible idea.
14:42Oh, so lovely.
14:45It's a beautiful creature.
14:47Stunning and captivating.
14:50Gorgeous girl.
15:03Hmm.
15:04I think the boys caught on to something there.
15:07Another one of my brainy ideas.
15:13But you must tell me your name.
15:14I dare not, your highness.
15:16Why not?
15:17I don't even belong here.
15:19Nonsense.
15:20The ball is in my honor, is it not?
15:22And as far as I'm concerned, you are the only one who does belong here.
15:26Now your name, please.
15:27It's... it's...
15:29Oh...
15:30What's the matter?
15:31I must go.
15:32But you can't.
15:33I must.
15:49Home.
15:50And hurry, please.
15:52Oh, I hope it's not too late.
15:53She's nowhere to be found, my lord.
15:54This slipper, so delicate, and made of the finest crystal. It must be hers. I will find her.
16:08I will find her.
16:16Oh, my. Where am I?
16:19Ah, now I understand.
16:21I must have walked in my sleep, and you woke me up.
16:24What a beautiful dream. I'm sorry it had to end. Now, come along. We should all be in bed.
16:34I had the prince wrapped around my little finger when that hussy walked in.
16:44You!
16:46It was plain to see that he was falling head over heels for me.
16:50That he dropped me like a hot potato.
16:53Or like a sack of potatoes.
16:55Now, girls, don't bicker.
16:57Perhaps the poor young man will come to his senses in the morning.
17:02Now, look, boys. When I say, whoa, whoa, nice and easy, okay?
17:11Whoa!
17:16What ho, noble knight?
17:19What ho yourself, old lady?
17:21I mean, what brings you here?
17:24I got another royal proclamation for you.
17:28It's a little wordy, so I'll just give you the gist of it.
17:31It seems the prince found this slipper made out of glass.
17:34So he's going to run all around the kingdom and try it on all the young maidens.
17:38And whoever the shoe fits, he's going to marry.
17:42Oh, wonderful. Oh, wait till I tell the girls.
17:47Would you like me to fetch your horse, sir?
17:49Nah, don't bother. It's such a nice day. I think I'll crawl.
17:58Here he comes. Here he comes!
18:00Oh, I can't wait to meet a real prince.
18:03You?
18:04You meet the prince?
18:08Don't you dare leave your room while the prince is here.
18:12Get out of here.
18:14Get ready, girls. Don't forget to curtsy.
18:18Welcome to our humble home, your highness.
18:25I thank you, madam.
18:26May I present my daughters.
18:33Girls! Girls!
18:35If we stay right here, we'll be bound to get a look at him when he leaves.
18:39Isn't this exciting?
18:42Now what are you up to?
18:44Where are you going?
18:46Pick, pick, come back here.
18:49Oh, my goodness. I left poor Jack out all night.
18:52Oh, it feels very comfortable.
18:57The toe fits just fine, but what do we do with the rest of the foot?
19:01See? I told you so.
19:04Now!
19:06Hey, be careful, lady. You're gonna hurt yourself.
19:08It'll fit. It'll fit.
19:10It'll fit.
19:19Come on, lady. Stop fooling round. Give me the slipper.
19:24I can't... I can't get it off.
19:27Help, take it off. It's killing me.
19:31Oh, dear.
19:38Your highness, look. The matching slipper. Catch those birds.
19:46Peck, Peck, put that slipper down.
19:53I'm sorry, your highness. I hope you'll forgive my little friends.
20:01Yes, of course, but that slipper, where did they get it?
20:04I don't know. I remember it from a dream, but...
20:08Dear lady, would you try the slipper?
20:10I would be honored, your highness.
20:13Not Cinderella!
20:23Cinderella, at last I know your name.
20:26You might as well confess, it was you at the ball last night.
20:29But that was just a dream.
20:31Your beautiful dream come true for me, Princess Cinderella.
20:36Princess Cinderella!
20:44I always liked Cinderella. I was always kind to her.
20:50You're the one who...
20:51Me! I always treated her just as though she were my very own flesh and blood.
20:54What do you know from flesh and blood?
20:56You skinny little...
20:58Oh, shut up!
20:59Both of you!
21:00Oh, you Mary!
21:02Hey!
21:06Hey! γ“γ‚Œanda!
