3 | ''WesternAnimation/PoorCinderella'' is a 1934 animated short produced by Creator/FleischerStudios. It is the inaugural entry in the ''WesternAnimation/ColorClassics'' series and is the only color appearance of WesternAnimation/BettyBoop, who plays the titular character. |

5 | It is noted that this is the first Fleischer cartoon produced in color, in this case Cinecolor, as Creator/WaltDisney had the exclusive rights to the Technicolor process for use in his ''WesternAnimation/SillySymphonies''. It is also the first use of the Fleischers' patented "stereoptical" process that allows animated characters to exist over live models, giving the settings a sense of depth and realism. |

10 | * AdaptedOut: Cinderella's WickedStepmother. |
11 | * AnimationBump: This was the first Fleischer cartoon to use the 3D tabletop process, after all. Also, the animation on the human figures look excellent, something even Disney took years to perfect. |
12 | * CupidsArrow: A little cupid does this to The Prince, but in this case, it's Cupid's mallet. |
13 | * DanceOfRomance: Like in the original tale, Cinderella (Betty Boop) and the Prince dance with each other while falling in love. |

17 | * MickeyMousing |

21 | * SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Betty Boop fills this role as Cinderella. |
