Origin[edit]

Anastasia and Drizella first appeared in the 1950 Disney film, Cinderella. They are cruel and unkind to Cinderella, and do not want her to go to the ball. When the footman tries to fit the glass slipper on each of their feet, they at first claim their own foot fits, but it does not. They later appear in the film's sequels, Cinderella II: Dreams Come True and Cinderella III: A Twist in Time, as well as the television series, Disney's House of Mouse.

In the sequels, Anastasia gradually becomes nicer and less antagonistic as she attempts to find her own true love, going from an antagonist in the first film to a protagonist in the third film, with her mother trying to get Prince Charming to fall in love with her.
