74 Cinderella Trivia Questions & Answers

Answer: a feather

As Cinderella tells the other animals about the lovely dream she had that night, Jaq is shown waking up and finds, much to his annoyance, his tail is tangled in knots!

This scene is set to one of my favorite Disney ballads "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes", sung by the incomparable Ilene Woods who was chosen to provide the voice of Cinderella out of 309 other possible candidates.

Answer: Sleeping

The opening of "Cinderella" was narrator Betty Gerson telling viewers the story of Cinderella and how much she loved her father. The narrator continued to tell viewers that Cinderella's father remarried a woman with two daughters so Cinderella would have a mother. When Cinderella's father died, she was reduced to nothing more than a housekeeper in her own home. The narrator finished speaking when, at dawn, two birds woke Cinderella up from her sleep and helped her dress for the morning.

Answer: Drizella

Drizella was one of the ugly, mean step-sisters. She, Anastasia (the other stepsister) and Lady Tremaine (step-mother) always conspired against Cinderella.

Anastasia wore the pink dress, Lady Tremaine had a dark dress in probably a maroon color, and Cinderella wore simple, neutral-colored, housework clothes.

Answer: It was in braids/pigtails.

When she woke up her hair was in pig tails, with blue bows tied at the bottom of them. She then took them out and started to get ready for the day.

Answer: Anastasia

This was in the beginning of the movie when Cinderella and Prince Charming went into the forest to meet the Fairy Godmother. The Fairy Godmother then accidentally flung the wand in front of Anastasia.

Answer: She was having a wonderful dream.

After Cinderella woke up and told the animals she was having a wonderful dream, she started to sing "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes".

Answer: Her stepmother and two stepsisters

After Cinderella's mother died, her father married a woman with two daughters, Drizella and Anastasia. Cinderella's father later dies and she is left to live with the three of them.

Answer: Corn

When the mice went to get their breakfast, Lucifer was in the way! So while Jaq distracted Lucifer (after drawing his own tail in a type of mice lottery), the other 4 mice went to get their breakfast. Gus had trouble getting his breakfast, as the chickens took all the corn before he could get any! Cinderella gave him some more, but on his way back he was almost caught by Lucifer, when he dropped all his corn, after trying to pick up another one!

Answer: Prosperous

This is in the opening monologue, when we see the book open. The purpose for this narration is to give us some background on the characters and the story that will evolve.

Answer: a dress

When the mice tell her that the new resident is actually a he, Cinderella swaps the dress for a shirt and cap. After rescuing him from a trap, she gives him the clothes as well as a name, Gus.

Both he and Jaq were voiced by Jimmy MacDonald who coincidentally had been the voice of Disney's most famous mouse, Mickey since 1947.

Answer: Feeding the cat

After getting dressed in the morning, Cinderella had to go into her stepmother's room, wake the cat and feed him. She did this in the kitchen with Bruno, the dog.

Answer: Braids

Despite spending most of her life living like a servant to her step-family, Cinderella was a very kind, sweet, generous person who couldn't find it in her heart to swat a fly. It's almost like she was magical, but even magic couldn't keep her hair straight.

Answer: Gus

She gave him the name Octavius, but she said that she would call him Gus for short. When she was there she gave him a shirt and a hat also.

Answer: It was in two braids.

After Cinderella took out her braids, her hair was straight. Her hair wasn't curly at any time during the movie.

Answer: Lucifer

Cinderella's stepmother owns a fat, lazy cat named Lucifer. Most animals and people that live in the house don't like him very much.

Answer: Drizella and Anastasia

Drizella and Anastasia are Cinderella's two evil, selfish, wicked ugly stepsisters. When they tried the slipper on, it wouldn't fit them because their feet were too big and ugly!

Answer: Anastasia and Drizella

During the opening monologue, the narrator says that Cinderella's father marries again, so she can have a motherly influence, and his new wife has two daughters who are Cinderella's age. This is when the narrator mentions their names.

Answer: Richard Madden

Madden, born in 1986 in Elderslie, Renfrewshire, Scotland, United Kingdom was cast as Kit. Kit first encountered Cinderella while she was on her horse. She mentioned that he frightened her horse and the two bonded. Kit stated that all invitations to the ball would go to all maidens, not just the nobility. He admitted that he made up that provision because he wanted to meet Cinderella again. When Cinderella saw Kit at the end of the film, she asked him, if the glass slipper fit her shoe, if he would still love her. Kit said he would but also mentioned that she would need to accept him for who he was: an apprentice still learning his trade. The glass slipper fit and the two married. Madden guest starred on the TV shows "Game of Thrones", "Medici" and "Electric Dreams".

Answer: A basket, a bouquet, a hat

When we first see the King, he is in his study, ranting about how he wants to see his son married. He doesn't believe in the Duke's idea of true love and thinks that it's just a matter of meeting someone under the right circumstances. To illustrate his point, he uses the figurines on his bookends which, in a bit of foreshadowing, look a lot like Cinderella and the Prince.

Answer: Lucifer

Cinderella's first job in the morning was to feed Lucifer who slept in Lady Tremaine's bedroom at night. Lucifer liked to cause more work for Cinderella and enjoyed chasing the mice that Cinderella befriended.

Answer: Corn

Cinderella fed the chickens corn, but the chickens ate most of it before the mouse Gus got any. Cinderella gave him more, but it too was eaten by the chickens! Poor Gus!

Answer: a mouse

She didn't actually. It was the cat. He had Gus, a mouse, trapped underneath the cup.

Answer: boats

"What were the mice using it for this time?" asked Cinderella. "Boats," answered Prince Charming.

Answer: Cinderella was undressing.

Since Cinderella was undressing for her shower, the mother mouse shooed her children out of the room.

Answer: Like a servant

Cinderella is treated like a servant in her own home. She has to do all the chores around the house and never gets to do fun things with the rest of the family!
