What You Probably Didn't Know About Disney's Adaptation of "Cinderella"

Alrighty then, hello! I've been thinking that something I can do that'll be interesting is a little series called "What you probably didn't know about...", where I basically put random facts up about random things. This one will start a mini-series about Disney movies adapted from the Grimm Folk Tales.
What you probably didnt know about Disney's "Cinderella"
1. In the Grimm Tales, Cinderella is actually called "Ashputtel"
2. The ugly stepsisters were actually beautiful, but their hearts were ugly
3. The fairy godmother was a bird that lived in a tree above the mother's grave.
4. There was no limit as to how late she could stay out.
5. The prince was holding a series of three feasts
6. On the third night, the prince pours tar on the stairs to make Ashputtel lose her shoe.
7. The other two nights, he follows her home and she hides until he leaves
8. The prince carries away both stepsisters before finding Ashputtel
9. The first stepsister couldn't fit into the shoe, so she chopped off her big toe.
10. The second carved off a slice of her heel
11. The bird who lived in the tree told the prince each time he carried off the wrong girl
12. There was no pumpkin carriage
13. At the wedding, the birds from the tree arrive and pluck out one of each stepsister's eyes.
Hopefully you learned something new! See you all later!
PS the email i gave earlier is actually wrong, the real one is just morganwaas@yahoo.com
