The most magical fairytale of all time brought to life

Once upon a time, a kind-hearted young girl was set to overcome the difficulties of her life and fulfill her true destiny of becoming a princess.

After her mother’s passing, Cinderella’s father marries another woman, a seemingly nice aristocrat who was a mother to two beautiful daughters. However, this apparently loving union brings new challenges into Cinderella’s life. Her new stepmother and sisters are vain and entitled and frequently clash with Cinderella’s gentler demeanor. 

As Cinderella’s days pass by under the tyranny of her evil stepmother, the royal family prepares a ball meant to find the young prince a suitable partner. Everyone in the village is invited to the grand Ball, including Cinderella, her stepmother, and stepsisters. , they refuse to allow Cinderella to go to the ball, instead loading her with work to complete around the house.

Devastated, Cinderella is left behind with no hope left. That is until her fairy godmother shows up and grants her a beautiful carriage, dress, and glass slippers, but warns her that the spell will come undone at midnight. Reignited with hope, Cinderella heads to the ball where she meets the Prince and shares a lovely time dancing and conversing. Unfortunately, right as the clock is about to strike midnight, Cinderella, much to the prince’s disdain, has to leave in a rush before the spell wears out, leaving behind only one of her glass slippers.  

The memories of their time spent together impact both Cinderella and the Prince. He then decides to go after the mysterious girl, with his only clue being the slipper she unwillingly left behind. He goes house by house attempting to find the owner of the slipper. 

The sisters and the stepmother plot against Cinderella, and do everything they can to prevent them from meeting again. They try to win over the price themselves and attempt to fit the shoe on themselves to no avail. However, in the end, Cinderella meets the Prince again and can try the slipper on, proving she was the one he danced with at the ball.

Cinderella and the Prince, having found each other again, get married and live happily ever after, leaving behind the wicked stepmother and sisters.

The Village

Create a magical experience with the Castle Overlooking Village backdrop. It features a lineup of medieval houses — a cobblestone bridge over a creek is the scene’s centerpiece. Large trees frame the scene as a mighty castle rises in the background on top of the mountains. This colorful scene is perfect for illustrating Cinderella’s life in the village.

At Cinderella’s Home

Cinderella coming into her own after being mistreated is a central theme of the fairytale. Showcase her most difficult years in the Kitchen backdrop. It features a medieval-style kitchen with a stone fireplace, skillets, and pans hanging from wooden racks. To the right of the fireplace stands a wooden rack storing various dishes. 

The Room Interior backdrop depicts the inside of a worn-down room. It displays a single wooden door on the left side and a window with a wooden frame and green drapery. Lastly, the Stepmother’s Castle View portrays the interior of a beautiful home with blue and white walls, decorative moldings, and framed paintings.

Use these backdrops to depict Cinderella’s struggles and small joys as she grows up in the house with her wicked stepmother and sisters.
