Cinderella Meets Fella is a 1938 Merrie Melodies short directed by Tex Avery.

Plot[]

A retelling of a Cinderella story starts with her stepsisters stating they are heading to the ball. Her fairy godmother arrives late, and her first attempt at making the pumpkin backfires, where she instead makes Santa, followed by a Wild-Western carriage.

Cinderella goes to the ball and meets Prince Charming. They dance and spend time together. When midnight strikes, she runs off, and Prince Charming is able to find her house, but when he gets there, he finds a note that tells him that she got tired of waiting for him, and instead, went to a Warner Brothers show. She appears from the audience, and the two go to the tenth row.

Notes[]

  • This is the final cartoon with the mid-1938 opening theme, which was used starting with "Jungle Jitters".
  • Cinderella in this cartoon bears a slight physical resemblance to Little Red Riding Hood from "Little Red Walking Hood", another Merrie Melodies cartoon featuring Elmer Fudd, which Tex Avery directed the previous year.
  • While the American Turner "dubbed" version print of this short retains the original ending music, the European Turner print alters the ending theme to that of the 1938-41 rendition of Merrily We Roll Along. As the restoration uses the European Turner print's soundtrack, the error persists in that version.
  • Upon moving to MGM, Avery made a more famous Cinderella parody entitled Swing Shift Cinderella.
  • This film was completed and shipped in June 1938.[6]
