On Prince Albert's 19th birthday, his parents, King Rupert and Queen Philomena, have determined that the Prince should find a suitable bride. So, the King invites every eligible maiden in the kingdom to a fancy ball, where his son will be able to choose his bride. Cinderella dreams of going to the ball, but those dreams are shattered when her stepsisters, Pandora and Mergatroid, point out that she hasn't a suitable dress to wear to the ball and has too many chores to do around the house. To her rescue, Harmonia, her Fairy Godmother arrives and waves her magic wand. Then there's the pumpkin carriage, the royal ball, the stroke of midnight, the glass slipper, and the rest, as they say, is fairy tale history. Discover the magic and wonder of wishes come true in this fairytale favorite when Cinderella meets her Prince Charming!
