Mmm.

That’s better.

Now, where was I?

How did you.

Oh, yes.

Let’s see.

What we need is something that sort of says, “coach.

Um.

Oh, that trough?

Doesn’t really say “coach.

No, no, I’m liking fruit and veg.

Do you grow watermelons?

No.

Cantaloupe?

I don’t even know what that is.

Artichoke?

Kumquat?

Beef tomato?

We do have pumpkins.

Ah.

Pumpkins?

This will be a first for me.

Always interesting.

I don’t usually work with squashes.

Too mushy.

Let me see.

Oh, that’ll do.

Yes.

Knife?

There you are.

Thank you, darling.

Hello, my strangely orange vegetable friend.

A quick snip for you.

Ah, lovely!

Ooh, heavy pumpkin!

Look out, mices!

Oh, well.

Never mind.

Let’s do it here.

Do what here?

Turn the pumpkin into a carriage.

You’re making me nervous, actually.

Shall I shut my eyes?

It might be better.

Oh, for heaven’s sake.

Let’s just go for it.

Ah.

Well, something’s definitely happening.

You see, the trick is.

Actually, I’ve forgotten what the trick is.

Hmm.

I just thought, if it.

If it does get much bigger.

Yes?

Hang on.

Is that what you meant to do?

Do you think that’s what I meant to do?

Run!

Run, darling!

Take cover!

There!

One carriage.

You really are my fairy godmother.

Of course.

I don’t go about transforming pumpkins for just anybody.

Now, where are those mice?

Mice?

Yes.

Mice, mice, mice.

There they are.

Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!

Four white chargers.

Gus-Gus, how fine you look!

But how did you.

Now, where are we?

Got carriage, horses.

Uh, footmen!

Footmen?

Hello, lovely Mr. Lizard.

Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!

Hello!

You called?

Now, I need that coachman.

Coachman?

Did I say “coachman”?

I meant “goose.

I can’t drive.

I’m a goose.

Now, shoo!

Everyone into place, no time to be lost!

Come on!

Fairy Godmother!

Yes, what?

My dress.

I can’t go in this dress.

Can you mend it?

Mend it?

No, no.

I’ll turn it into something new.

Oh, no, please don’t.

This was my mother’s.

And I’d like to wear it when I go to the palace.

It’s almost like taking her with me.

I understand.

But she wouldn’t mind if I gee it up a bit?

Wouldn’t mind a nice blue?

No.

There.

It’s beautiful.

She’d love it.

Now, come on.

Off you go.

Quick!

You’ll be late!

I’m very new at this!

Oh, boy.

Stop that blooming coach!

Whoa!

Thank you.

Just a moment!

Are those the best you have?

It’s all right.

No one will see them.

No, they’ll ruin the whole look.

Quick, quick.

Take them off.

Really quite hideous.

Let’s have something new for a change.

I’m rather good at shoes.

But.

They’re made of glass?

Yes.

And you’ll find they’re really comfortable.

Ella, you really must go now.

Oh, Fairy Godmother?

What is it?

My stepmother and the girls?

Don’t worry.

I’ll make sure they don’t recognize you.

Now, off you go.

For you shall go to the ball.

Ah, in you get.

Oh, so lovely.

Oh, do stop wittering on.

Ella!

I almost forgot.

Remember, the magic will only last so long.

With the last echo of the last bell, at the last stroke of midnight, the spell will be broken and all will return to what it was before.

Midnight?

Midnight.

That’s more than enough time.

Off you go then.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Goosey, go!

Goodbye!

Chandeliers, aloft!

Princess Mei Mei of Fujian.

Princess Shahrzad of the Seljuqs.

Your Highness!

Princess Chelina of Zaragosa!

Princess Imani of Shona!

Princess Hiina of the Chrysanthemum Throne!

Lady Tremaine and her daughters.

The Lady Tremaine and her daughters.

I’m Drisella.

And I’m Anastasia.

People will want to know.

I’m the clever one.

I’m very beautiful.

The very clever Miss Drisella, and the very beautiful Anastasia.

Do come on!

The Lord Veneering.

Who are you looking for?

No one.

It’s that girl in the forest, isn’t it?

That’s why you were so generous with the invitations.

Father, it was for the people.

I know you love the people, Kit.

But I also know that your head’s been turned.

But you’ve only met her once, in the forest.

And you would have me marry someone I met once, tonight.

A princess.

It’s a princess or nothing.

Hold the doors!

One more coming in.

May I present Her Royal Highness, the Princess Chelina of Zaragosa.

You are as handsome as your picture.

And your little kingdom is enchanting.

I hope the princess will not find our “little kingdom” too confining.

Miss Ella.

Thank you.

I’m frightened, Mr. Lizard.

I’m only a girl, not a princess.

And I’m only a lizard, not a footman.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, My Lords, ladies and gentlemen, distinguished visitors and people of our land, the prince shall now choose his partner for the first dance.

Let our ball commence!

Excuse me.

A thousand apologies, Your Royal Highness.

I don’t know what happened.

Mr. Kit.

It’s you, isn’t it?

Just so.

Your Highness.

If I may, that is, it would give me the greatest pleasure, if you would do me the honor of letting me lead you through this the first….Dance?

Yes, dance.

That’s it.

They’re all looking at you.

Believe me, they’re all looking at you.
