I liked it too, I think whoever made it got the characters so well and yet made the art unique. I decided to write a post about all my favourite Disney heroines and currently I'm writing about Cinderella, when I'm done, I could post it here if you guys want to read it

Aww, I love that classic scene. It's amusing how strong Cinderella can be, finding and losing her dream in one evening, more than once, and still having faith and hope. I actually did write that post I planned on writing and here's my Cinderella bit where I came across that aspect of her story:

Cinderella is a daydreamer (and this aspect of her personality helps me to relate to her more than I can to any other Disney heroine even though I find all of them relatable in some way), she has nothing by default and lives with her abusive family that treats her horribly, uses her and emotionally pressures her, not allowing her to live her own life, she lives in a constant fear that they throw her out of the house if she doesn't work for them 24/7 and work hard. Her life is awful and yet where most people turn into angry, bitter, avenging persons under similar circumstances she still finds the strength to meet each new day with a smile on her face, to be caring and kind, to love animals and to dream. It requires such a phenomenal emotional strength. Cinderella has to watch her dreams falling apart and coming true again on more than one occasion. Unlike other Disney girls who usually have to go through some major obstacles and then gain their happiness, which is their reward in the end, Cinderella actually finds and loses her dream more than once - first when she is so excited to go to the ball and tries to finish all the work her stepmother told her to do (in order to prevent her going to the ball in the first place), then realizing she will never be able to finish it all and dedicate time to prepair for the ball, etc when her little friends end up helping her and giving her hope. She is so happy, she is dressing up in her new gorgeous dress, her dream of attending the ball - possibly the first significant event in her life, after years of not going out anywhere - is about to come true when her sisters and stepmother ruin this dream, and as she believes, it is ruined forever. She will never have a chance like that. And even if she does, she knows they will destroy it again. Then when Cinderella's dream finally comes true with the help of the magic fairy, she is warned about the fact that when it's midnight, all the magic will be gone and her life will be the same again, but she accepts it with grace and joy because she wasn't even hoping for more. At the ball she meets someone she really likes and feels something for the first time in her life - and then she has to leave that person with a perspective of never seeing him again. One day she found and lost her dream more than once and yet she still kept holding on to it and never gave up. Her stepmother does everything to prevent the Prince finding Cinderella and reuniting with her, she locks her up, yet Cinderella still doesn't give up and takes action in her own hands and finally has her dream coming true thanks to her loyal friends (that she had thanks to her kind and caring heart) and her strong spirit.

Even after years and so many other movies, this scene still stays one of my top favourites.
