Fairy Godmother (Cinderella).


In Cinderella, the fairy godmother appears only for a brief moment. However, the effect that she has upon the story and us, the viewers, is a large one. Without the help of the fairy godmother and her character in this story, the story would not have been able to take place. This magical character essentially controls the whole story, and her witty character is one that draws in many viewers. Without the help of the fairy godmother, Cinderella's transformation from lowly step sister to princess would not have been possible, and she would not have met her prince. While changing Cinderella into a princess does cause its fair amount of trials and tribulations, everything ends happily ever after when Cinderella gets Prince Charming. She also serves as an aspect in this movie that many Disney movies posses- magic. With a wave of her wand, the fairy godmother is able to make all of Cinderellas greatest wishes and desires come true by turning her ratty clothes into a beautiful ball gown, her pumpkin into a carriage, and her beat up shoes into glass slippers. The fairy godmother draws in little girls from all over the world and compels them to watch Cinderella and dream that everything they wish can come true.
