Background

The King is a supporting character in Disney's 1950 animated feature film, Cinderella. He is the short-tempered, yet benevolent father of Prince Charming. As the ruler of a far away kingdom, the King grew lonely as his son gained independence. This loneliness manifested in a longing for a family, preferably with grandchildren. As a means of coercing his son into marrying, the King assembles a royal ball in hopes that one eligible maiden will catch the prince's heart.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of The King's story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Cinderella In the original Cinderella, the King is desperately hoping to see the day his son gets married and has children of his own. He decides to hold a royal ball in honor of his son's recent return to the kingdom. In reality, though, the ball is intended to bring together beautiful maidens in the hope that the Prince would choose one of them as his bride. The king orders the Grand Duke to invite every eligible maiden in the kingdom to the ball. During the ball, the King is looking from the balcony fearfully, knowing his son's not interested in any of the maidens so far, and being very rude, making faces at them. The Grand Duke then tells the King to give up, stating that true love is just a fairy tale. However, the King spots a spark between his son Prince Charming and a new arrival, Cinderella. The King sees the two obviously falling in love and demands that they have complete privacy, so as not to ruin the mood. The King goes to bed for the night and orders the Duke to make sure nothing goes wrong between the two lovers. While the King is asleep (dreaming of playing with his grandchildren), Cinderella suddenly runs away from the castle when the clock strikes midnight. The Grand Duke informs the king of the news and, enraged, the king accuses the Grand Duke of conspiring with the prince. The Duke explains that the girl left behind a glass slipper and that the prince is determined to marry her, finally satiating the King's rage. The next morning, the king issues a royal proclamation: the Duke will visit every home in the kingdom and have every maiden try on the slipper and bring in the one it fits. The Duke says the slipper may fit any girl, but the King takes advantage of the Prince's word and holds him to it, insisting that the Duke bring in a maiden who fits the slipper, even if it wasn't the same one the Prince danced with. Eventually, the Grand Duke finds Cinderella and, after finding out that the slipper perfectly fits her foot, takes her to the castle to be reunited with Prince Charming. The King is last seen with the Grand Duke jubilantly throwing confetti to celebrate the wedding of Cinderella and Prince Charming. When Cinderella loses her slipper while walking down the stairs, the King assists her in putting it back on, resulting in Cinderella kissing him on the head as a way of thanking him. He then blushes as he happily watches the newlyweds board a carriage and ride off to their honeymoon. Cinderella II: Dreams Come True The King reappears in the film's sequel, in which he is trying to help Cinderella adapt to the life of a princess. In the first segment, he is sleeping in his chair, only to be rudely awoken by the Grand Duke and Prudence, announcing that Cinderella and Prince Charming have arrived back from their honeymoon. The King then became concerned that Cinderella lacked the knowledge of how to perform her duties as a princess. The Duke initially volunteered to coach her but the King instead assigned Prudence, and the first thing he announced upon meeting the happy couple was that he and Prince Charming had to leave for two days for important matters of state. As he tried to stuff a variety of objects into the wedding carriage, he reminded Prudence that Cinderella was in charge of the Royal Banquet and anything she said goes. With help from the Duke, the King is able to fit in his stuff and gets into the carriage, waving goodbye to his daughter-in-law from the back window as they rode off. Upon his return, the King was initially irked that Cinderella had changed the traditions of the banquet, including opening the curtains, inviting commoners and switching prunes with chocolate pudding, but quickly warmed up to the changes. Later, in the segment "Tall Tail", The King attends the kingdom's fair and during an incident with the current human Jaq and an elephant, he is sent flying and lands on top of the Ferris wheel. Near the end, the mice run past him and the Duke in the throne room, frightening them both. Cinderella III: A Twist in Time The King reappears in the film's second sequel. After Lady Tremaine turns back time with the wand of Cinderella's Fairy Godmother, Anastasia is believed to be the mystery girl from the ball. The king takes an interest in her, as she somewhat resembles the king's former wife, as neither girl could dance. He remarks that in spite of the queen's lack of dancing ability, they loved each other dearly. The king then presents Anastasia with a seashell that was his most precious possession and unknowingly helping Anastasia being able to understand love. Later, when Lady Tremaine's and Drizella's true natures are revealed, he orders the three arrested. They escape the king's guards by use of the magic wand. At the film's climax, Prince Charming blocks the wand's magic with his sword, and the magic hits Lady Tremaine and Drizella, transforming them into toads while teleporting them into the dungeon. Anastasia, who by now has had a change of heart, attempts to return the shell to the king. The king allows her to keep it, as he believes everyone deserves true love. He then smiles as Prince Charming and Cinderella get married in the new timeline. The King will also be hatefully merciless against Lady Tremaine and Drizella for their outrage actions against Cinderella and his son.
