Also known as Cendrillon au Far West or Cinderella: Once upon a time in the west, this 2012 CG-animated French film is a different take on the classic Cinderella tale, where Cinderella is an anthropomorphic animal of ambiguous species living out in the Old West.
This movie provides examples of:
- Beauty Equals Goodness: The titular and good Cinderella is the most beautiful of all the characters, whereas the stepmother and her daughters are as ugly inside as they look.
- Death by Adaptation: The wicked stepmother drowns in quicksand. Blink and you'll miss it, but the stepsisters seemed to have escaped in time, though.
- Good Animals, Evil Animals:
- The wicked stepmother appears to be a pit bull, while her daughters appear to be bulldogs.
- The good prince is a beagle.
- Fairy Tale: The Cinderella story.
- Horse of a Different Color: They ride non-anthropomorphic giant vultures.
- Killer Gorilla: Barb Azul is a fearsome gorilla pirate.
- Shout-Out: The pirate leader is named Barb Azul, after Perrault's Bluebeard
- The Western: The movie takes the plot of the Cinderella fairy tale and places it in a "wild west" setting.
- Wilhelm Scream: Heard when the pirates push out a victim out on the plank.
