Cinderella Mousecellaneous
When we visited Disneyland Paris a few years ago, the Fairy Godmother was on a parade float with other magical characters such as Merlin. Many of the other characters feature in various parades and indeed, Cinderella's pumpkin coach is a spectacular part of the Main Stree Electrical Parade.
Shanghai Disneyland is the newest theme park and it features a rather oddly-named window-service snackery: Fairy Godmother's Cupboard. Here you can purchase a pepperoni pizza, a pineapple sundae or a variety of drinks including the intriguing Bibbidi Bobbidi Brew.
Cinderella is also featured in a number of attractions which draw on different films for their inspiration including the Storybook Land Canal Boats (although only in the Disneyland version); the now defunct Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour featured Cinderella and Lady Tremaine; Cinderella, in her rags, appears in the France area of It's a Small World at Disneyland, accompanied by Jaq and Gus. I've also seen images of Cinderella (in her blue dress) and Prince Charming but I can't seem to identify which iteration of the attraction they appear in (it's possible the Disneyland Paris version, but I can't be sure). Gus and Jaq even used to play the trombone in the now defunct Mickey Mouse Revue.
Cinderella as a character also has a life outside of the original film. Later in this blog, I will no doubt reach the 2015 live action remake of the story but Cinderella also featured, albeit briefly, in the first season of Once Upon a Time.
In this version, Cinderella attends the ball courtesy of Rumplestiltskin (who kills the Fairy Godmother within a few seconds of her first appearance to Cinderella). Cinderella does of course have a Storybrooke counterpart, Ella, who owes a debt to Mr Gold. In Season 7 of the series, which I've yet to see, a new version of Cinderella appears in an increased role, as well as more prominence for Lady Tremaine and her stepsisters.
The original 'cartoon' Cinderella goes on to appear in two sequels: Cinderella II - Dreams Come True and Cinderella III: A Twist in Time. She also appears in the Sofia the First pilot episode, Once Upon a Princess.
One fun appearance is in a Goofy live-action short - The Art of Vacationing.
Cinderella also appears in numerous computer games, some of which (those based exclusively on Cinderella) I will examine in further posts.
Cinderella also makes an appearance in various Kingdom Hearts games - and is in fact one of the first Disney character seen in the franchise as a stained glass window featuring her appears during the Sora's Nightmare segment of the game (one day, I'll get to playing the game!).

Cinderella, and other characters, often feature in the many shows and firework displays, performed at the parks: Lady Tremaine, for example, often features in the various Hallowe'en extravaganzas.
Some of these shows are even named after Cinderella such as Cinderella's Surprise Celebration and Cinderellabration: Lights of Romance. There is even a unique stage sequel to Cinderella only performed aboard the Disney Cruise Line - Twice Charmed: An Original Twist on the Cinderella Story. Some of these shows I plan on examining in further blog posts.
