I always wondered... In the movie...if the spell is broken at midnight... Wouldn't her glass slippers change back to the original shoes as well? Everything else changed back..? Why did thr slippers stay glass?

Actually in this version of the tale, the birds swoop down to peck out one eye each from the sisters right as they reach the palace,
and peck out their remaining eyes after the wedding,
so that the last thing they ever saw was Cinderella’s happy ending.😎
God i love those birds.😏

You should watch Into The Woods, it legit has everything that you just said

Fun fact: The first version of Cinderella was written in 4 BC, didn’t include most of the stuff in the Brother’s Grimm version but here’s the rundown;
A slave goes out to the river to bathe, takes off her clothes to do so, a nearby eagle sees this and decides to steal her sandal. The eagle then flies from Greece (where the slave lived btw) to Egypt where he dropped it on the pharaoh. So Pharaoh is all ‘o cool I’ll marry whoever this belongs to’ and he sails around the known world trying to find this lady so he finds the slave and he marries her.
Pretty unrealistic but we’re looking at the same people who created one of the most interesting mythologies out there

To be honest, the first part of this story is almost exactly identical to the Into the Woods version of Cinderella. The tree, the lentils, the three-night festival, the burds, even the sap on the stairs. Even though the film wasn't completely about Cinderella, I much prefer it to the animated film and also remake as they clearly referred to the original tale a lot more (though obviously not all of it :P) Nice video! I absolutely love watching these!! SUBSCRIBER 495, 576!

The live action ciderella stays much truer to the original story while still being great for the whole family. I like it a lot better

My favorite disney movie as a child and now is cinderella, and just hearing this makes me more happy!!! The gouging out the eyes is a pretty good scene

This version is in the “newish” movie called “Into The Woods” And has all the same parts but it has a little bit extra to connect it to the rest of the movie!
(I love that movie❤️)

So, in the original her father didn't die?

AND, SHE PUT ON A SHOE FULLED WITH BLOOD!?

Disney's adaptation of Cinderella was based on the French version of the story that was in a collection of fairy tails that was published by Charles Perrault in 1697. The two version are identical in every way except that Disney killed off her father because he was a bad role model.
In the Perrault version the father was essentially brainwashed into treating his own daughter horribly, even going so far as to call her Cinderella rather than her own name.
The Grimm version is the German version of the story. Grimm did not invent the story, as the version he and his brother published was done in 1812, which is well after Perrault wrote down the French version. The Cinderella story does go further back than the 1690s, as there was an Italian version that was written down in 1638, and it is not credited to any one author.

A thing you missed about the Grimm version is that the step sisters tried the shoes on while they were next to Cinderella's tree and the birds perched in it were the ones that alerted everyone to the blood in the shoe. They sung something like this, "Ku-coo Ku-coo, there's blood in that shoe."

It turns out Into the Woods the movie used the whole pitch on the stairs and the gold slipper fitting the sisters...kinda cool
