[edit] Plot

CinderElmo is surprisingly familiar to Cinderella. His stepmother wants him to "Dust", while she goes to Princess Charming's 16th birthday ball. The only problem is that the princess must choose a husband by the twelfth stroke of midnight. Then, the not-so-nice stepmother and stepbrothers leave. CinderElmo sings with Zoe about how much he wants to go to the ball. Then, his fairy godperson comes and teaches CinderElmo that dreams don't come easy and you have to work to get it, instead of relying on magic, like Cinderella did. So, CinderElmo takes a shower, while his fairy godfather thinks of magic spells to help CinderElmo. Soon, CinderElmo is dressed like a prince, in a satin robe. His friends are dressed like courtiers, and a dogbowl becomes a furnished coach. At the ball, the princess dances with many suitors, until CinderElmo catches her attention, during a dance number, sang by the suitors of the kingdom. She dances only with him, and choses him to be her husband. Unfortanetlly, the clock strikes twelve, during her proposal, and he runs home, leaving behind his silver shoe. The princess tries it on all the men in the kingdom, until she finds CinderElmo, who is unable to marry the princess, for he's only three-and-a-half! The princess sees that CinderElmo wants to be with her, invites him and his stepbrothers to the castle, instead of making CinderElmo prince, and leaving the stepfamily alone, like Cinderella, again.
