walk slow and low on the tightrope

(Bonus Blood Version of the original)

In some versions, the midnight deadline is framed as "The magic only lasts until midnight," while in others, it's framed as "If Cinderella fails to be home by midnight, then the spell will be broken."

Perrault's original tale frames it as an "if, then" situation: if she stays at the ball a moment past midnight, then her finery will change back into rags, her coach back into a pumpkin, etc.

The early screen adaptations mostly take the same approach, and tend to frame Cinderella's return to rags as a punishment for disobeying the Fairy Godmother and staying too long. In both of the two silent film shorts by Georges Méliès, an angry Fairy Godmother appears at the palace and personally transforms Cinderella's gown back into rags. In the 1914 Mary Pickford film, after Cinderella gets home and goes to bed, she has a nightmare, and the preachy intertitles declare that this is the consequence of disobedience.

As late as the 1930s, adaptations frame the deadline this way. In Betty Boop's Poor Cinderella of 1934, the Fairy Godmother warns her that she'll be in rags again if she fails to be home and in bed by midnight. And in another Fleischer cartoon adaptation, A Ride for Cinderella from 1937, the stepsisters find out about the magic and resolve to stop Cinderella from reaching home by the last stroke of twelve, to ensure that her gown and coach disappear. Fortunately, this cartoon was an advertisement for Chevrolet cars and Cinderella's coach is a Chevy, so its speed and durability get her safely home in time, the spell isn't broken, and her gown and coach are still intact when the Prince finds her the next day.
