Yes, I know the movie was historically inaccurate. There was literal magic involved that had a direct impact on how the plot unfolded. Also, it's been edited to appeal to children. Almost none of the Disney movies were eidetic copies of the source material.

Cinderella Dressed In ... Overalls
Do not feel bad if you do not read that giant block of text. I did not realize, until I started making the list of 'versions of Cinderella I own', just how many entries would be on it. And then I figured, since it was so long already, I might as well include summaries and opinions and versions of Cinderella that I knew but did not have in my possession.
Also, I realized after the fact that I had forgotten three Cinderella stories I have - Wyrd Sisters (Terry Pratchett; fairy godmother is the villain; three witches go on a quest to prevent a servant girl marrying a prince), Unlocking the Spell (E. D. Baker; the protagonists are Prince Charming's cousins and they pass through the ball on their way elsewhere), and Shrek. (Cinderella isn't plot-relevant to Shrek, but she's a throwaway reference in the first and second movies and a minor character in the third one.) So I actually have 18 versions.

Asparagus
I don't actually eat asparagus, but I have been told I prepare it well.
On a completely irrelevant note, today is apparantly World Kidney Day. Get yours tested, because most of the time, kidney failure shows no symptoms until it's progressed too far for the organs to be saved.
