Cinderella Does NOT Have Ears (I am the world's foremost authority on the matter)

In this house, we believe that Cinderella's dress is silver, her mouse is named Octavius, and her head does not have ears.

For the record, lots of actual human beings don't have ears (although they don't look at all like Cinderella does in her ear-less state). Shout out to @ haleyelizabethmua and her "biblically accurate Cinderella" stitch: https://www.tiktok.com/@hayleyelizabe...

This article in Bustle cracked me up--a great example of nobody actually watching the movie. They interview the Ralph Destroys the Internet filmmakers and specifically ask about the ears:

"When we were watching the original movie of Cinderella, we realized that her ears were completely pinned underneath the hairband, so we were like 'oh my gosh where did her ears go?'" Thompson explains to a room of reporters at Disney Animation HQ in Burbank. The art director says she was just as baffled as the rest of us that we'd gone 69 years as a Disney-loving society without realizing the princess was missing something essential. "So we just decided to show her ears," Thompson adds, clearly aware of the simultaneous simplicity and enormity of such a decision.
