"While her sisters were given beautiful dresses and fine slippers, Cinderella had only a filthy smock and wooden shoes"(Meyer 1). Cinderella is a classic fairy tale, with an evil stepmother, glass slippers, a beautiful ball, a handsome prince, and a beautiful young maiden. Cinder on the other hand is a mix between Cinderella, the Terminator, and Star Wars. With evil stepmothers, a mechanical foot, an annual peace ball, a handsome prince, and a talented young mechanic, who just happens to have the most beautiful glamour of all. Even though they are two different stories by two different to people, they are very much alike.
A way that the Disney movie and Meyer book is similar, is why the prince fell in love with their girl. In Cinder, Kai says, "'They say you're the best mechanic in New Beijing'"(Meyer 10). In this excerpt we learn Cinder is a very talented mechanic. Which is one of the reasons Kai (the prince/emperor) fell in love with Cinder. In Cinderella 2015, Kit (the prince) fell in love with Cinderella because of a good heart. Both of the princes fell in love with the young maiden because of a certain thing that made them very special. Another thing that made the two princes fall in love with the two girls is that both of them never acted different in front of them because they are royalty. In Cinder, Kai states to Cinder, ""You're usually the prime example of royal etiquette, but you didn't even stand up. And I was so prepared to be the gentleman and urge you to sit back down again'."
'So sorry to steal that proud moment from you'"(Meyer 293).
In Cinderella 2015, Cinderella stops Kit from shoot the buck even though it was obvious that he was from the palace.
Also, in Cinder, Prince/Emperor Kai and Prince Charming are very much alike. In the Lunar Chronicles you see he is a very funny guy cracking jokes all the time. For instance, "'You see, I figured it's probably too much to hope that New Beijing's most renowned mechanic is having trouble with their port so I figure there must be something wrong with mine'"(Meyer 290). Also "Kai drew back, confused. "'Oh. Well...but...maybe you would change your mind? Because I am, you know.'
"The Prince."
"Not bragging," he said quickly. "Just a fact"(Meyer 164).
In Cinderella 2015 you see throughout the film Prince Kit makes multiple jokes.
Finally we will look at Cinders cyborg foot and Cinderella's slipper. In the original Cinderella, Cinderella loses her glass slipper on the stair steps of the palace. Later, Prince Charming finds Cinderella, returning her glass slipper. That signifying that they will get their happily ever after. In Cinder "Kai crept down the stairs as if sneaking up on a wounded animal. Stoping, he picked up the rusted cyborg foot"(Meyer 366). Kai ends up keeping the foot until the very end of the series in Winter, in which then he returns the foot to Cinder.
