used most
commonly in

have the same outlook,
blond hair, blue eyes and
blue dress.
For movies
Cinderella is
played by a real
woman and still
has the same
outlook as the
cartoons, this
time with a
slightly darker
hair colour.
This picture is from a pop up book, this
shows the ugly sisters, being “mean” to
Cinderella and asking the reader to help
Cinderella. Again she is seen here with the
blue eyes and blonde hair.

common
picture is a
