Try this on for size! Cinderella sure is lucky none of her evil stepsisters had tiny feet! This celluloid with original painted background was used in the creation of a lobby card promoting Walt Disney's "Cinderella" (1950). I'm not sure why you would reveal the ending to a movie in this way, but perhaps the audience was already familiar with the tale and needed to be reassured that Walt could provide a happy ending for poor Cinderelly.
Now I had always believed that the famous glass slipper (pantoufle de verre in French) resulted from a mistranslation of fur slipper (pantoufle de vair) when Charles Perrault's version of the fairy tale was published in English. I have now been set straight by snopes.com, a remarkably knowledgeable website which over the years has debunked every cherished urban legend I've ever sworn by. The glass slipper is indeed Perrault's own invention.
