Cinderella Prologue and Ending


The prologue from Cinderella is one of the most interesting ones Disney had done.

The film opens with the storybook opening












Once Upon A Time, {reads the narrator}In a far away land there was a tiny Kingdom- peaceful, prosperous and rich in Romance and Tradition. Here in a stately chateau, there lived a widowed gentlemen and his little daughter Cinderella {page turns}









{Narrator continues}Although he was a kind and devoted father, And gave his beloved child every luxury and comfort. Still, he felt she needed a mother's care.



And so he married again, choosing for his second wife, a woman of good family with two daughters just about Cinderella's age. By name Anastasia and Drizella.



{The camera zooms on Anastasia and Drizella as the narrator speaks}


Anastasia



Drizella

{The scene changes to the death of Cinderella's father, The narrator continues}




It was upon the untimely death of this good man, however, and the stepmothers true nature was revealed cold and cruel, and bitterly jealous of Cinderella's charm and beauty. She was grimly determined to forward the interests of her own two awkward daughters. 

{The camera zooms on Lady Tremaine's wicked face}



 {The Camera goes outside and the narrator continues finishing the prologue}“Thus, as time went by, the chateau fell into disrepair, for the family fortunes were squandered upon the vain and selfish stepsisters while Cinderella was abused, humiliated, and finally forced to become a servant in her own house. And yet, through it all, Cinderella remained ever gentle and kind, for with each dawn she found new hope that someday her dreams of happiness would come true.”









This ends the prologue the magnificent prologue and our story begins now.


The story ends with Cinderella kissing her true love Prince Charming and as the storybook ends with And They Lived Happily Ever After
