Cinderella is a timeless Disney classic. We all know the story. Cinderella is treated horribly by her Wicked Stepmother, who favours her ugly stepsisters, and is forced to be their maid.
One night, they all get invited to the ball, and of course, Cinderella is forbidden from going. The Fairy Godmother, however, has other ideas and decides she WILL go to the ball, before transforming her scruffy rags into a beautiful gown.
However, when the clock strikes midnight and Cinderella attempts to make a quick escape, she loses a glass slipper - which fans point out is a major plot hole.
The discovery came after a film fan asked Reddit users: "What’s the worst plot hole you’ve seen in a well-regarded movie?" - and one person was quick to bring up one in Cinderella that's bugging them.

"Cinderella, she is told by the fairy godmother that everything will turn back to what it originally was at midnight," they wrote. "Her dress, carriage, and horses do so why don’t her glass slippers?"
But apparently, there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for this, as someone replied explaining that Cinderella’s dress and her horse and carriage were transformed from items she already had.
Whereas the slippers were made from magic itself and hadn't been transformed, so couldn't disappear.
"I believe the slipper was a surprise gift from the Fairy Godmother," explained a Reddit user.
"Cinderella realises it’s not gone in the morning as it should have been and gives an 'oh, thank you' out to the universe for it, showing that she recognises that while the original deal was for midnight, the Fairy Godmother did something special allowing the shoe to be kept as a memento."
Another plot hole that other Cinderella fans have pointed out are also glass slipper related.
"If you’re going to rip on Cinderella, you could at least bring up her slippers that fit like a dream and then suddenly fall off," one person wrote, which now come to think of makes a good point.
But, there's an answer for this too.
"She'd been dancing all night. Glass slippers don't ‘breathe’ so I'm pretty sure sweat had begun to pool in them and her feet were slick," one person theorised.
