What does the Fairy Godmother turn a pumpkin into?

The Fairy Godmother turns a pumpkin into a carriage.

In Disney’s 1950 Cinderella, the transformation begins after Cinderella’s stepsisters destroy her dress and leave her crying in the garden. The Fairy Godmother arrives and uses “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo” to turn an ordinary pumpkin into an elegant carriage for the journey to the royal ball.

The pumpkin is only one part of the magical makeover. Several mice become horses, Cinderella’s horse Major becomes the coachman, and her bloodhound Bruno becomes a footman. The Fairy Godmother also provides Cinderella’s ball gown and glass slippers, while warning that the magic will end at midnight.

The pumpkin carriage is often treated as the whole transformation, but the film presents it as part of a coordinated enchanted retinue. Its temporary nature also drives the plot: Cinderella must leave the ball before the spell expires, leading to the loss of her slipper.
