Cinderella


Currently, I watched a video of "Cinderella" on YouTube, and this clip is a short version, the whole whole thing only lasted for 9 minutes. This clip version of "Cinderella" is very close to the Disney's version; in both versions, the carriage that carried Cinderella to the ball was transformed from pumpkin, and the horses that pulling the carriage is transformed from the rats, and the cat of Cinderella was transformed into the servant who driving the carriage. By the time Cinderella is about to transform back to the farmer girl role, she rushed out from the ball and left her glass shoe on the stairs, that is also exactly happened in Disney's version.

And comparing this version to Grimm's of "Cinderella", there are some differences, such as: in Grimm's version, there is no animal or any other creatures been transformed. In Grimm's version, after Cinderella left the ball, the prince chaseing for her in a very wild way, such as, the prince chopped down the tree because he saw Cinderella jumped into there. In this clip, the prince didn't did anything after she left; he just simply keep the shoe that Cinderella dropped on the stairs. In both Grimm's version and the clip that I found, the prince is using the shoe that he got from the Cinderella to testify to find Cinderella.  The ending for the both stories are also very similar; Cinderella married to the prince. But in this clip, two sisters didn't got punished, and in Grimm's version, two sisters of Cinderella  got their eyes picked out, and living in blind for the rest of their life.

Over all, this clip is very similar to Disney's versions, and it doesn't has much violence events happened during the story. Comparing to Grimm's version, this clip is better one for today's kids to watch.
