Quite a face there, Human Lucifer...

  • When Prince Charming meets Anastasia for the first time, he recognizes, slipper or no slipper, that she is not the woman he fell in love with. Lady Tremaine overcomes this obstacle by mind-wiping him with her wand.
  • Cinderella watching Anastasia, changed to look exactly like her, emerge from the shadows while getting ready for the wedding.
  • The Demonic Pumpkin Carriage scene.
  • The entire sequence where Lady Tremaine uses the Fairy Godmother's wand to turn back time, wherein we don't just see the events from the first movie being put in reverse, but Cinderella and Prince Charming being literally torn from each other. And then it zooms in on Lady Tremaine's face, with a look of sadistic glee as she revels in the power, she has to tear apart time, space, and the universe itself simply to destroy her stepdaughter's happiness.
  • The sheer lengths Lady Tremaine is willing to go to for no other reason than making not only Cinderella miserable, but also her two biological daughters, even after Cinderella is long gone. Drizella and (formerly) Anastasia were bullies at best, and even their worst treatment of Cinderella was only a result of them being goaded by their mother. Lady Tremaine is either a sociopath or is as close to the line as you can get without crossing over it. And if the first movie is to be believed, she does all of this because she's bitter Cinderella is prettier and more well-mannered than her daughters.
    • And Lady Tremaine shows that even among the core members of her family, there is no true love at all. Even Cinderella realizes this when Tremaine tries turn Anastasia into a toad when she refuses to marry the Prince, which prompts her to desperately try to protect her stepsister.
    • During the confrontation Drizella has no sympathy for Cinderella or Anastasia. It's particularly creepy when she starts egging her mother on at one point.
