Funny / The Story of Cinderella

Go To

  • When Cinderella was tasked with finding Charles (thought to be the prince's page) Paulette turned a horse into a look-alike. It has trouble walking, spontaneously neighs, and generally makes a fool of himself at the step-family's tea party. Then Paulette remembers that the spell only lasts one hour.
  • Cinderella dubs Charles, "The Fibber" because he told her several lies when they first met, such as saying he was the prince's page instead of the prince himself.
    Goodbye Sir Charles the Fibber.
  • In “The Shoe of Happiness”, Cinderella’s stepmother asks if she could try on the glass slipper, to which Catherine and Jeanne, in disgust, reply.
    Mother you can’t!
    • This isn't the only version of Cinderella where the stepmother asks to try on the slipper (she also does in the 1965 and 1997 versions of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical), but this is probably the funniest, because in this version Cinderella's father is still alive. The stepmother seemingly forgets that she's already married!
  • In the French dub, the scene where Cinderella’s father leaves has a quirk where his last line to her is immediately followed by a horse neighing... but in this version it’s clearly the same actor making the noise of the horse. So it simply sounds like Cinderella’s dad is braying loudly to his daughter before setting off.
