No, but pets experience disappointment. Ella says to the mice that "we girls need to look out for each other."

Cinderella is grown by the time the step family begins to abuse her.

Nobody's physically violent towards Ella, however the stepsisters are often making threats to harm each other: scratch your eyes out, push you into danger, I can't remember them all. They target each other with their violent threats, not Ella. It's possible that some of that may just be a joke.

In addition to the typical Cinderella stuff there's a shocking twist SPOILER the mother wants to use her stepdaughter to puppet control the kingdom after they marry. When she doesn't agree she smashes a peice of her property and locks her up. Abuse takes place slowly and Ella doesn't realize she's being abused until too late. Her stepmother also invades her privacy by getting into her stuff--although we don't see it.

I don't know if this fits the definition of gaslighting, but Ella is told she needs to do chores to get her mind off of her father, and that it's for her own good, and Ella seems to believe it.

Not at the ball like most Cinderella movies (because of a spell to not be recognized), but it's clear Ella's stepmother did an investigation after the event after clues were dropped.

The actress was forced to wear a too tight corset that constricted her breathing, and you can tell in every shot of the movie that she's out of breath.

No but in real life SPOILER breaking a glass slipper with your hand by slamming it into the doorpost would do damage to a hand (so close your eyes when the stepmother is told no?)

Not a toy, but something precious of Ella's is deliberately destroyed. The stepmother also seems to be very eager to confine Ella's childhood things to the attic.

Ella's mother dies of an illness during her childhood, and her father dies during a business trip, also of an illness, when she's a young woman. Neither death is actually shown onscreen: we just see Ella's last emotional conversation with her sick mother before her death, and later a farmer bringing Ella and her stepfamily the news of the father's death. Much later in the film, the elderly King dies of a terminal illness as his son the Prince weeps at his side, making the latter the new king.

No, but the stepmother misses her late husband and spends time at house parties with other men and not so much her husband--she comes to realize that her husband will never love her as much as her daughter. She seems to be a bit of a flirt with men in power.

An attempt to prevent Ella from leaving takes place. It's very perilous and intense, and you worry that Ella may get injured (this chase is probably why it's PG). There's also a threat of it as a conspiracy against Ella is later discussed--because she's a politcal threat. Just her presence at the ball is also talked about as a potential attempted kidnapping as it is theorized that her running away is an elaborate intrigue to lure the crowned prince away.

No but she talks to her departed mother in a sort of prayer. In the Grimm version her mother's ghost works with her, and they tried to hint at that element. In a deleted scene she says her mother's in heaven.

No, but we see both Ella and her stepmother sink down to the floor in separate scenes when they realize their life has changed. The stepdaughters are very immature and take drastic measures to ensure their power. But most people are very composed.

Ella is a baby at the beginning, she's probably in the latter half of her first year. It's an idyllic scene and there's playing.

At one point an elderly lady is evaluated as a potential mate for the much much younger prince. It's done for laughs/sarcasm by the people showing that they did their best to search the kingdom for the mystery princess.

Not very “sexually” but an overly tight corset was used to give the actress an unnaturally thin waist and there was no need for this whatsoever.

Ella's mother falls ill early on, and the doctor is heard whispering "I'm so sorry" to Ella's father as they leave her bedroom. It's evident that he can do nothing for her, and she dies soon afterward. Later, the Prince's father the King is shown to be terminally ill as well. The King, his son, and his doctor all know it, and it's a factor in why he's anxious for his son to marry. He eventually dies soon after the ball.

The carriage nearly falls off of a cliff in a get-away--not much noise, it's drowned out by the music and a scary sounding clock in the background.
