I get she was abused, but she basically has to be saved from everything. The Fairy Godmother and the mice and the prince do everything for her.
But thankfully for us casual viewers the mice were funny and Lucifer and Lady Tremaine were great villains.
You should see the second sequel where she does a lot for herself(If you haven't already).
shareYet another cliché (and ignorant) comment. I'm not even gonna try to argue, because there are tons of articles about this topic online. Here are a few:

"Weak"? More like one of the strongest fictional characters ever created.
The article defending Snow White, does not really do a good job at defending its thesis, and instead comes off like a high schooler's blog post.

Really? I don't remember the mice, fairy godmother, or prince doing her chores. I don't remember them sharing in the blame when gus accidentally got into tue teacup.
If you're happy and you know it, go sit in the corner and think about your life.
You really expect she would punch her stepmother and stepsisters when they started to rip her dress?
shareI think she was nice, strong and hard working. Plus you have to keep in mind when this was made. Women didn't exactly stand up for themselves back then. I think she pretty much worked hard and deserved her happy ending just like most Disney princesses, with the exception of Jasmine who came across as a spoiled brat at times. I find it weird how people have a problem with Cinderella but no problem with Jasmine who seemed to do nothing but whine a lot. I think second to Ariel's daughter in the Little Mermaid 2, who was also a whiny brat Jasmine is my least favorite princess.

Jasmine was really lonely and bored and was pressured to get married before her next birthday.
So I feel that she had the right to not be happy about her situation.

She was strong in the sense that she was patient enough to put up with that sorry excuse for a family. She was mistreated but never lost it. She stayed calm and remained that kind young woman she was.
I applaud her for that b/c I for one couldve NEVER dealt with that shit. Especially for 5+ years. I have very limited patience for people who treat me that way.
Seriously, what exactly did you expect Cinderella to do?
It is not like she could just leave the house and live somewhere else back in those days.
Not to go into the difficulties of servants in centuries past, but that's not the only reasons she stayed. The house should have been hers by right - it had been her father's property and she was her father's only living child. So if she stayed, it was partly because if she left without a reference she'd find it impossible to get to another job, partly because the place was her rightful home in every sense, and partly because once she left she'd lose any claim to the social status she was born to, and be a permanent part of the servant class. Or worse.
Not that you'd get any of that from this version of the story.
No, it is not really explained in detail in this version.
But it makes sense when you think about what it would have been like in real life for a girl in Cindy's situation.
Thank you!
