Cinderella happens to be one of these stories that have been changed over the years. There are many different versions of Cinderella, an African Cinderella, a Hungarian Cinderella and even a Chinese version. All of the Cinderella’s are similar in plot, but the author dictates the story’s theme based on the people whom he is writing for which completely changes the story’s tone, mood and other elements.

Walt Disney’s Cinderella is adapted from the original fairy tale written in 1697 by Charles Perrault. There are some key differences between Walt Disney’s Cinderella and Charles Perrault’s Cinderella. In Charles Perrault’s tale, Cinderella’s father is not dead, but the father is controlled by the stepmother. Cinderella’s younger stepsister is much more polite than the older stepsister, who calls Cinderella Cinderwench. The king in Perrault’s tale hosts a two day Ball, which Cinderella attends with the help of the fairy godmother. During Cinderella’s preparation for the first night of the Ball, Cinderella helps the fairy godmother find a coachman when the fairy godmother could not find one.

When most people think of the movie, "Cinderella';, they think of the animated Disney version with the little mice and the happy ending where Cinderella marries the prince and they live happily ever after. While the movie "Ever After'; is based on "Cinderella';, it is not animated, but still has many of the same characteristics as the Disney version. Of course it is not exactly the same, and since it is not animated there are many differences.
There are many different versions of the classic story, Cinderella. Grimm’s version was just as wonderful, but had more twisted moments than Disney’s story. Both stories are about a girl who overcomes the cruelty of her evil stepmother and stepsisters and ends up living happily ever after. Although, there are many differences, there are three that stand out. The three main differences are, the father died in disney's version but did not die in Gimms version, there was no fairy godmother in Grimm's version but there was in Disney's, and in the original version the stepsisters cut their heels and toes off so it would fit in the slipper but in the Disney version they did not.

The themes of love, comedy, and morality deem them as more than just little kids' stories, but suitable and entertaining tales for the entire family. This is known by a majority of the stories' readers. However, what one may not be so familiar with is the origin of these tales. Where did the stories of Cinderella, Ariel, and Rapunzel come from? The Disney writers certainly did not create them themselves. The differences in the originals will shock anyone familiar with Disney. And what about Snow White? There are differences between the original Brothers Grimm version of the ebony-haired, white-skinned princess and the Disney movie, believe it or not. Some major differences between both versions are the multiple ways the evil queen tries murdering her stepdaughter, the cause of Snow White's revival, as well as how the evil queen died. Why the story was altered is obvious:
The original version of the disney cinderella movie is about a girl who 's father remarries after her mothers death. Soon after being married he died, leaving cinderella with her evil step mother and two step sisters. Cinderella step mother forced her to become the servant of their house. In the movie Another Cinderella Story the beginning story line starts off the same. However, the disney version of cinderella is a animated cartoon version with many fantasies and unrealistic talking mice and fairy god mothers. In the modern version of the cinderella movie “Another Cinderella Story” the movie is made with real actors. Something else that changes from the cartoon version of cinderella to the modern version is the name of the actors. “Cinderella” is Mary in the modern take of another cinderella story and “The Prince” is Joey.
The two stories of “Cinderella” are “Tam and Cam”; and “The twelve Months: A Slav legend adapted by Alexander Chodzko. These stories have similar ways in portraying the hard working Cinderella including her suffering, but they are different in Cinderella’s motive of rescue one tale use violence if necessary; the other just more of a genuine resourceful approach. This means this character isn’t relying on a prince charming to be her rescue, so this makes the concept different from the other because “Tam and Cam” Cinderella lives forever happy with her lover, while “The twelve Months: A Slav legend adapted lives by herself and then a farmer she likes shows up. These tales went for a more sophisticated setting, each displaying the peasant overcoming the struggle; in which she is set free from all of her hurting. Throughout each story Cinderella is taking and caring she always seemed to get the short end of the stick. But, when the odds back fired on the step-sisters and step-mother the karma was naturally set upon to benefit Cinderella in her favor “Tam and Cam” or set in motion by her as payback to get even with her rival characters of a family in “The twelve Months: A Slav legend adapted lives.
The Ash Girl by Timberlake Werthenbaker and Cinderella by Charles Perrault are very much alike in their plot. The original play of Cinderella tells a story of a young girl who lives with her step mother and step sisters, named Anastasia and Drizella, who aren't too kind to her. They treat her as if she was not part of the family in any way, almost is not human. They do not treat her with the respect she rightfully deserves. The step daughters have Cinderella cleaning, cooking, and sewing all day.
The humility in Aschenputtel was very high unlike every stepmother in every tale. In Aschenputtel the story even says “The new wife was wicked and ugly”. The stepdaughters in each novel were mean and arrogant. In contrast, one of the stepsisters in Ever After (jacqueline) was nice to Danielle yet their was still the stingy step-mother and greedy marguerite the step-sister. Aschenputtel is the most like Cinderella (1950 film) that we all know, But there was no pecking out of the eyes from doves. So clearly there is differences in each fable. The most obvious similarity in aschenputtel and ever after is that they both have two sisters. Although in Ever After one of the sisters is on the so called “Cinderella’s” side. A similarity between all

Also, Grimm’s version the help that Cinderella gets do not come from the fairy god-mother but the wishing tree that grows on her mother grave; stepsisters try to trick the prince by cutting off parts of their feet in order to get the slippers and not like other versions by just simply trying the shoe on. Another is the prince is alerted by two pigeons who peck out the stepsisters eyes, and also in the Grimm’s version the prince get tricked twice but spared by the birds. In which this lowers the prince’s status and he seems less heroic, and raising Cinderella’s status as a strong-willed individuals.
