DD just asked a very important philosophical question.

Why didn't Cinderella's slipper disappear with everything else? Anyone?

[TrudyCampbell]

Hmmmmm!

Ha! My answer would be "because they are glass honey". That would work at 4 but at close to 6 she might catch on.

Because the enchantment was intended to let cinderella's wonderful personality shine. So, the shoe had to stay so that the prince had an opportunity to find her if he was a good enough dude.

No.......

My H says it didn't change or disappear because she wasn't in contact with it.

But the one she was wearing didn't disappear either. She showed it when the servants tried the lost one on.

That was Abby's reasoning too, except the carriage turned back to a pumpkin.

No.......

I like that. I like the version the "Slipper and the Rose" where the fairy godmother implies she had a different plan for Cinderella to get the prince, so I assume she intended for the slippers to remain. The other versions, however, that argument doesn't work.

In "Ella Enchanted," the slippers were magic but not conjured, so there's that too.

Can anyone tell I like Cinderella?

This is when I say " go ask your father, honey." lol!

Because they were never anything else to begin with, and so didn't transform back to their original state?
