Answer: Octavius

Cinderella gives cute names to all of the mice she rescues. She named him 'Octavius' but for short calls him 'Gus'. Jaq and Gus help 'Cinderelly' get ready for the ball, by getting materials for her dress, and helping her escape from her room after the wicked stepmother locks her in!

27 What is Gus the mouse's real name?

When Cinderella rescues Gus from the cage, she named him Octavius but shortens his name to Gus. Lucifer is the cat.
28 When the stepsisters are having their music lesson, Drizella sings a song about what type of bird?
Answer: Nightingale

Lady Tremaine attempts to make her daughters more refined by teaching them music but it clearly won't help as Drizella sings the song about the eponymous bird very loudly and shrilly. By contrast, Cinderella, who is singing the same song while scrubbing the foyer floor sounds lilting and beautiful.

In one of the loveliest scenes, Cinderella's multiple reflections in the bubbles from her bucket start harmonizing with her. This was achieved through a process known as over-dubbing where the same voice was recorded on multiple microphones at once. "Cinderella" was the first Disney film to utilize it.
29 Meanwhile at the palace, the king wanted to throw a ball with all the eligible young women in the kingdom. Why?
Answer: The king wanted his son to marry and give him grandchildren.

The king kept thinking of grandchildren and wanted his son to marry so he could have children. He told the grand duke to send word to every eligible young woman in the kingdom to come to the palace for a ball. The king hoped that one of the women would catch his son's eye and they would get married.
30 Where was Cinderella's bedroom?
Answer: In the attic

Cinderella's bedroom was in the attic - probably another horrible thing her step-family made her do. It was important to the story later on, when Gus and Jacques took the key up to her room (this was after the step-mother locked the door on her). Those poor mice had to heave that heavy key up that sickening staircase!

32 Who used the magic wand the most in the movie?
Answer: Stepmother

Anastasia might have stolen the wand, but the stepmother used it almost throughout the entire movie. Fairy Godmother only used it at the very beginning and very end, and Cinderella only touched it.
33 Why wasn't Cinderella able to complete her dress for the ball?
Answer: Her stepmother and stepsisters kept her busy.

Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters purposely gave her a lot of things to do, so that she wouldn't be able to find the time to finish making her dress.

The king wants his son to find a wife so he holds a ball. All eligible maidens are to attend so that the prince will be able to choose one of them to marry.
35 What is the name of the cat?
Answer: Lucifer

Lucifer is always mean to Cinderella, despite how nice she is to him! She often has to yell his name when he does bad things. He is evil throughout the movie, and tries to keep Jaq and Gus from giving the key to Cinderella at the end. Lucifer is from "Cinderella", the Chesire Cat from 'Alice in Wonderland', Oliver from "Oliver & Company", and Sergent Tibbs from "101 Dalmations".
36 How many corn kernals does Gus carry with him, when Cinderella offers him breakfast?
Answer: 9

Gus carries the corn, since Cinderella gives him so many, and he wants to eat at his hideout within the walls. When he carries them all at once, Lucifer chases him, so he does not get a chance to eat his breakfast.
37 When the mice are fixing Cinderella's dress for the ball, what do they use as a lift to get supplies to the top?
Answer: a shoe

During my favourite scene in the film, Cinderella's bird and mouse friends band together to ensure that their human friend will have a dress fit for a princess so that she may also go to the Prince's ball. The various ways they find to complete the various steps such as the aforementioned shoe-lift are just adorable! Although, keen viewers may notice that the animators made a mistake near the end as Jaq jumps from an overhead string into a chest two times in a row.
38 When news came to the Tremaine house about the ball, Cinderella pulled out a dress that used to belong to her mother. What color was the dress?
Answer: Pink and white

The dress was in a chest and needed styling to be a ball gown so Cinderella was going to work on it after her chores. The mice and birds decided to dress up the gown while Cinderella was doing her chores. Lady Tremaine and her daughters did everything they could to make sure Cinderella didn't have time to prepare for the ball.
39 Who played the flute?
Answer: Anastasia

Anastasia was as bad as Drizella (she was the other step-sister). Together, they did everything they could to stop Cinderella from going to the ball. They even ripped her dress apart (this was just an example). In this scene, Anastasia was playing the flute, Lady Tremaine was playing the piano, and Drizella was singing. Cinderella was probably doing housework. Sounds like it should be pretty, but in my opinion it really wasn't.

Answer: They all put their tails together and one of them drew one.

They all went back to back and put their tails together. Then one mouse chose a tail and they all hopped away. This time, the mouse that picked was the one that had to go.

44 Thanks to Cinderella's bird and mice friends, she was able to get dressed for the ball. What happened that made Cinderella unable to attend the ball in her mother's dress?
