Begin rant:
What I never understood is if the Prince and Cinderella spent the entire ball together, then why did the Prince know absolutely nothing about her? No name, no general vicinity of where she lived, nothing. I mean, sure, she was incognito, but she could've said something along the lines of, "Oh, I live down yonder by that well."
What the hell did they talk about all night?!
This poor slob had to scour the kingdom with nothing but a shoe. What happens if another girl with the same size foot came along, what then? Or am I suppose to believe Cinderella was the only size 6 in the Enchanted Forest?
End rant.
I think the point was that they were so entranced and captivated by one another that they took for granted they'd see each other again and just let the music guide them to dance. If I recall correctly, they only show 1 or 2 dances as well, so who knows when she actually arrived.
Well, in the original story, the prince set a trap: "He had had the entire stairway smeared with pitch. When she ran down the stairs, her left slipper stuck in the pitch."
I'm a little concerned that the Prince felt the need to go to such extremes to catch his lady love. Can you imagine if she twisted her ankle and broke her neck falling down the stairs? How do explain that to your guests? Awkward.
