Cinderella was Méliès's first film with multiple scenes (tableaux), using six distinct sets and five changes of scene within the film. Méliès modeled the film's visual style on the engravings of Gustave Doré, who had illustrated the story for an edition of Perrault's fairy tales. The special effects were created with multiple exposures, dissolves, and substitution splices.
Méliès had previously adapted Cinderella thirteen years earlier, in an 1899 film which had been his first big success. The remake was made in the summer and autumn of 1912, and then edited by Ferdinand Zecca, who cut the film down — reportedly to half the length Méliès intended — and is also probably responsible for adding the cross-cutting effects and medium shots seen in the film.  In 1944, Méliès's widow Jehanne d'Alcy claimed to the Cinémathèque française that Zecca had "massacred" the film, cutting out some of the best scenes.

Méliès had previously adapted Cinderella thirteen years earlier, in an 1899 film which had been his first big success. The remake was made in the summer and autumn of 1912, and then edited by Ferdinand Zecca, who cut the film down — reportedly to half the length Méliès intended — and is also probably responsible for adding the cross-cutting effects and medium shots seen in the film. In 1944, Méliès's widow Jehanne d'Alcy claimed to the Cinémathèque française that Zecca had "massacred" the film, cutting out some of the best scenes.
