Fanny Price as a Fairy Tale Princess
Fanny Price in Mansfield Park doesn't fit exactly into the Cinderella story because instead of an orphan her parents are painfully alive and she isn't exactly treated as a servant, certainly not scullery maid level. Also, the big ball gets her the attention of a man she rejects, certainly not a prince. However, Mansfield Park it is like Cinderella in that a virtuous and kind girl waits patiently for her happy ending while enduring oppression. But the notes of the story are kind of backwards.
The bigger problem with Fanny = Cinderella is that Cinderella is only out for herself. Not that Cinderella is selfish, because she isn't, but she is an orphan and she doesn't have anyone in her life who needs help more than her. Fanny does.
Fanny also doesn't fit with any of the born princesses, though it occurs to me that Emma is totally Disney's Jasmine.
This is why what I think is more true to Fanny's story is subverting Beauty and the Beast. Fanny, like Beauty, is set up as a civilizing influence, but we are shown through the story how easily even men who respect her can ignore her morality, especially Edmund. We are even told outright that Fanny is supposed to reform Henry Crawford:
"You will supply the rest; and a most fortunate man he is to attach himself to such a creature—to a woman who, firm as a rock in her own principles, has a gentleness of character so well adapted to recommend them. He has chosen his partner, indeed, with rare felicity. He will make you happy, Fanny; I know he will make you happy; but you will make him everything.” (Ch 35)
Fanny rejects this, she basically says it's too much responsibility. Which yeah, it is!
Then when like Beauty, Fanny is offered the choice to sacrifice her happiness for the good of her family, she says no. And it's not because Fanny doesn't love her family, especially her brother William. Fanny has just as much love as Beauty, but she refuses to be a sacrificial lamb. Not that what Beauty does isn't admirable, but it puts the father's life and freedom ahead of Beauty's. Jane Austen is done with that, it is too much to ask.
Fanny will not surrender her entire life for the good of her family, and yet she is still a heroine. She is a heroine for standing up for her values, for holding strong in the face of oppression, and for giving what she can even if the ultimate sacrifice was too much.

Libuse Safránková stars in "Three Wishes For Cinderella" (1973), a Czechoslovakian retelling of the classic fairy tale that uses magic acorns and an owl in place of a Fairy Godmother.

Fairy tales tell of fantastical adventures, great heroic deeds and moral struggles (and dragons, never forget the dragons!). They've always inspired me, so I decided to create this piece as an ode to the old stories.

Sleeping Beauty (1959) turned 65, and it remains still such a beautiful film. It's one of my favourite quintessential fantasy films, and I adore princess Aurora and Maleficent!
