15 Seriously WTF Disney Moments

10. Why Did Cinderella's Fairy Godmother Take So Long To Turn Up?

Cinderella was orphaned at a young age and forced into a form of domestic abuse and slavery at the hands of her emotionally void step mother. Lady Tremaine and her two daughters made the life of Cinderella a complete and utter Hell, treating her as a worthless slave as opposed to an actual human being, let alone a family member. But because kindness is magic, Cinderella endures the long years of hard labour and psychological abuse from her family and if her Fairy Godmother had not intervened, that's how she would probably spend the rest of her life. So why did it take so long for her Fairy Godmother to actually do anything about it? If she really is Cinderella's Godmother, she would have been aware of her circumstances prior to the day of the ball. Was she waiting until she reached an appropriate age where she could be introduced into society or was she just a bit busy whilst this torture was ongoing? What. The. Fairy Godmother.
