Drizella was supposed to be the stepsister to redeem herself but it was decided that Anastasia was better suited because she was less mean and warmed up in La cenicienta 2 (2002).
Initially it was considered to ignore the events from La cenicienta 2 (2002), but in the end, some characters created for the latter, appear on this movie.
All the main villains from La Cenicienta (1950) have a darker personality in this movie. While they only humiliated or mistreated Cinderella in the original film, in this one they took extreme measures by even trying to kill her.
As in La cenicienta 2 (2002), the voices of Anastasia and Drizella are provided by the same performers who voice Daisy Duck and Minnie Mouse, respectively: Tress MacNeille and Russi Taylor.
