Once upon a time, there was a kind girl named Cinderella.

All of the animals loved her, especially two mice named Gus and Jaq. They'd do anything for the girl they called Cinderelly.

Cinderella lived with her stepmother and her two stepsisters, Anastasia and Drizella.

They were very mean to Cinderella, making her work all day cleaning, sewing, and cooking. She tried her best to make them happy.

Cinderella's stepmother, Lady Tremaine, was cold, cruel, and jealous of Cinderella’s charm and beauty.

One day, a messenger arrived with a special invitation. There was going to be a royal ball at the palace!

The King wanted his son to find a bride. Every young woman in the kingdom was invited—including Cinderella!

Cinderella was very excited about the ball. In the attic, she found a dress that had belonged to her mother.Lady Tremaine didn't want Cinderella to go to the ball. She wanted the Prince to meet Anastasia and Drizella. Maybe he would marry one of them!

While Cinderella was working, the mice and birds fixed her dress. They added ribbons and beads that the two stepsisters had thrown away.

Working together, the animals turned a simple dress into a fabulous gown!

Cinderella was overjoyed when she saw the dress. Now she could go to the ball!

When the stepsisters saw their old ribbons and beads on Cinderella's dress, they flew into a rage.

They ripped the dress and pulled off the beads. Lady Tremaine didn't stop them. Cinderella's dream of going to the ball was through.

They ripped the dress and pulled off the beads. Lady Tremaine didn't stop them. Cinderella's dream of going to the ball was through.

With a wave of her wand, she turned a pumpkin into an elegant coach. Cinderella could now go to the ball, but her dress was still ruined.
