Yes. Yes. I know. There are certain modern objections to this cartoon. But it’s Tex Avery! And the “Cinderella” character is very confident and comfortable in her own skin.
The plot is a wolf takes a break from chasing Little Red Riding Hood in order to pursue the Cinderella of the title. Despite his zoot suit and pencil mustache, Cinderella violent spurs his advances (a frying pan is involved), so she can work on getting to the ball. Meanwhile, her amorous fairy godmother chases after the wolf, whose not interested.
Cinderella talks like Bette Davis (“You do wave a mean wand, don’t you, Fairy Godmother”), wears a fur coat, and drives a luxury car instead of a coach. The wolf follows Cinderella and the godmother follows the wolf. But it turns out that Cinderella has gone to this fancy shindig to perform, not to meet a prince. At midnight, she runs home to change, because she has a shift in a WWII factory. However, the bus taking her is full of wolves.
