CinderElmo

The Stepmother's household receives invitations to the Princess Charming's Ball, leaving CinderElmo to do all the chores. The rest of the family looks forward to the ball, while CinderElmo is kept out of the preparations. The invitation becomes a symbol of opportunity and envy across the kingdom.

Grover the town crier reminds King Fred that Princess Charming must choose a suitor by midnight or doom the kingdom. The King orders a universal invitation, inviting every man and monster in the realm. The tension builds as time runs out.

The Stepmother trains her sons in a new dance to impress the princess. They practice while the house buzzes with anticipation and schemes. This sets up the rivalry that will unfold at the ball.

Baker Cookie Monster arrives as the General Invitation Deliverer and hands CinderElmo an invitation to the ball. The Stepmother refuses to let him go, locking him away with his friends. The exclusion foreshadows the magic that will soon intervene.

After the carriage is brought and CinderElmo is locked up, he wishes on a falling star. The Fairy Godperson appears and urges him to devise a plan to make his dreams come true. A spark of magic begins to change his fate.

Fairy Godperson gives CinderElmo and Zoe smart clothes and performs magical transformations: the dog becomes a handsome prince, the dog bowl becomes a carriage, and the mice become horses. They are warned there is limited time before midnight.

CinderElmo, Zoe and the transformed prince arrive at the ball and join the crowd on the dance floor. The Stepbrothers perform the move their mother taught them, while Princess Charming is drawn to the mysterious figure. CinderElmo becomes momentarily entangled in the Herald's cloak.

Princess Charming asks the new mysterious suitor to find CinderElmo, who has captured her eye. The Stepbrothers are rejected, and CinderElmo and Zoe sneak into the last dance in armor. The armor collapses, but the princess grants him the dance of his dreams.

With seconds to spare, CinderElmo and friends dash back home as the spell fades. Elmo, Zoe, and the transformed Prince revert to their normal forms, leaving only a shoe behind. Princess Charming still chooses her beloved as the clock strikes midnight.

The royal family visits the Stepmother's house to try the magical shoe on everyone. The Stepbrothers fail to fit, and Princess Charming recognizes CinderElmo when he arrives in his human form. The King contemplates changing the law to allow their marriage.

The Fairy Godperson permanently changes the transformed Prince back to a true prince and helps the couple reach a mutual spark. Princess Charming and the Prince take a liking to each other, and royal acceptance follows. The kingdom begins to plan a future where love triumphs over status.

With the match secured, the royal family invites everyone to the palace for the wedding and celebration. The Stepmother and mice are left behind as the couple steps toward their future. The tale closes on a hopeful note for the kingdom.
