Update: 2020-06-23

Description

In this episode, we discuss:

-how much of this movie is actually about the mice,

-the Tremaines' need to denigrate Cinderella's inherent class value to make themselves feel better,

-how much work shady, shady Cinderella has to do to choose kindness,

-Cinderella's inability to identify the prince (or, perhaps, her calculated performance of not knowing who the prince is so that he will fall in love with her),

-our uncertainty about what Cinderella's queenship might be like, and

-Jaq the mouse's potential as a romantic partner.
