huh. You know it's weird....
Trying to gender-swap Cinderella is difficult. Not least because Cinderella's whole goal in life is... to marry the prince. ?
Her role is to be the abused daughter, to cook and clean and sew and drudge for her stepsisters. If you make Cinders a boy, it's... suddenly less right. I automatically wanted to have him chopping wood and mucking stalls. And making Cinders' whole goal in life to marry the princess at the ball seemed laughable.
Not to mention, what the hell DID Cinderella and the Prince talk about while they danced?
