Question

what are your thoughts on the original story of Cinderella. What do you believe was the biggest 'change' that Disney made to the story and why?

Answer 1

The original story is good for little childirean. The biggest change that disney made was first Cinderella is left in the care of her evil stepmother as both her parents are dead. Yet, in Perrault's version, her father is very much alive. Although he has such little impact on the story, that it is as if he was dead anyway. In the fairy tale, the father is inexplicably unaware of Cinderella's ill-treatment and she is too scared to tell him as the stepmother has him under her thumb. Unfortunately, that is pretty much all the story tells us about her father and therefore, it makes a lot of sense as to why Disney felt it was better to just kill him off.
