Grand Duke: Madam, my orders were every maiden! Come, my child. (he pulls up the chair for Cinderella)
(The Footman comes with the glass slipper, but Lady Tremaine uses her cane to trip him, causing him to drop the slipper and the glass shatters between Cinderella and the Grand Duke)
Grand Duke: Oh, dear! Oh, dear, oh, dear! Oh, dear! This is horrible. The King! What will he say? What have we done?
Cinderella: But maybe, if it would help----
Grand Duke: No, no. Nothing can help now, nothing.
Cinderella: But you see, I have the other slipper.
(Cinderella pulls the other glass slipper out from her apron, horrifying her stepmother and stepsisters, but filling the Duke with joy and hope. The mice cheer. The Grand Duke slides the slipper onto Cinderella's foot, and of course it fits perfectly)
The 1950 Walt Disney feature film "Cinderella" was based on the French version of the tale by Charles Perrault, entitled "Cinderella" and written in 1698. The film was the second in the series of great Princess films developed by Disney, the first being Snow White in 1937. The character of Cinderella is usually front and center in the pantheon of Disney Princess merchandise, perhaps because she is the only Princess not to be of a noble blood line who ended up marrying a Prince and becoming royalty.
Cinderella was animated by both Marc Davis and Eric Larson, however the two animators had different perceptions of the
character, with Davis preferring elegance and Larson opting for simplicity. This actually worked in the film's favor, resulting in Cinderella being a much more complicated character than her predecessor Snow White. As with other Disney films, the studio hired actress Helene Stanley to perform the live-action reference for Cinderella. She would later return to the studio for the characters of Aurora in "Sleeping Beauty," 1959 and Anita Radcliffe in "One Hundred and One Dalmatians," 1961.
According to Christopher Finch, from his book "The Art of Walt Disney":
"Disney insisted that all scenes involving human characters should be shot first in live-action to determine that they would work before the expensive business of animation was permitted to start. The animators did not like this way of working, feeling it detracted from their ability to create character. The animators understood the necessity for this approach and in retrospect acknowledged that Disney had handled things with considerable subtlety."
About 400 women and girls auditioned for the voice role of Cinderella, but the role ended up going to Ilene Woods. Woods, who at the time worked on the radio and did not know anything about the audition, was asked one day by her colleagues Mack David and Jerry Livingston to sing a song from Cinderella. Without her knowledge, her recording was given by her friends to Disney Studios. After listening to the material Walt Disney immediately decided that he had found the voice with which to speak and sing the character of Cinderella and contacted Ilene.
This is an extremely rare pair of original production animation cels of Cinderella and The Grand Duke holding the only remaining Glass Slipper. This is the climatic ending of the film, when the only remaining Glass Slipper is put onto Cinderella's foot by the Grand Duke. The dialog for the scene is below:
Grand Duke: "Madam, my orders were every maiden! Come, my child."
(He pulls up the chair for Cinderella.)
(The Footman comes with the glass slipper, but Lady Tremaine uses her cane to trip him, causing him to drop the slipper and the glass shatters between Cinderella and the Grand Duke)
Grand Duke: "Oh, dear! Oh, dear, oh, dear! Oh, dear! This is horrible. The King! What will he say? What have we done?"
Cinderella: "But maybe, if it would help----"
Grand Duke: "No, no. Nothing can help now, nothing."
Cinderella: "But you see, I have the other slipper."
(Cinderella pulls the other glass slipper out from her apron, horrifying her stepmother and stepsisters, but filling the Duke with joy and hope. The mice cheer. The Grand Duke slides the slipper onto Cinderella's foot, and of course it fits perfectly)
This is an absolutely amazing piece of original production animation artwork, and would be the star of any serious collection.
