It's funny that when you listen to the director's commentary on the DVD of The Slipper and the Rose, director Bryan Forbes keeps talking about "the pantomime version of Cinderella" when he wants to describe the more familiar tale to highlight how his movie is different.

As a British man born in the 1920s, the Christmas pantos of Cinderella that are performed every year in the UK would have been the main adaptations of Cinderella he grew up with.

Of course if an American, and/or a person born more recently, were to compare what they thought was the most "familiar" Cinderella to their own adaptation, they would almost certainly cite the Disney version, and maybe the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical too.
