List of Disney References in Enchanted - Cinderella

Specific references made to Cinderella include:

  • When Giselle runs up the stairs from her coach, two rabbits tie a ribbon around her - a reference to the "Work Song" scene.
  • Giselle wraps herself in a towel with the help of two birds - a reference to the bathing scene in Cinderella (after "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes").
  • The "Happy Working Song" sequence, in which Giselle scrubs the floor of Robert's apartment and her reflection is seen in each of the bubbles floating around the room – a tribute to the "Oh, Sing Sweet Nightingale" sequence in Cinderella.
  • Giselle uses Robert's curtains and Morgan's rug to make her dresses – a reference to the dress that Cinderella's mice friends make for her from things that her stepsisters weren't using.
