Señorella and the Glass Huarache is a 1964 Looney Tunes Cartoon directed by Hawley Pratt (who also produced the layouts) and written by John W. Dunn. The plotline is a typical Cinderella story, but set in Mexico. This was the last Looney Tunes short released before the Warner Bros. Cartoons division was shut down. It was the final one-shot until 1968. Chuck Jones' ending sequence from Now Hear This and Bartholomew versus the Wheel was used in this cartoon. This was the final cartoon to have this ending sequence.
At the cantina, a man tells his friend a Mexican version of "Cinderella". Leetle Senorella's "strapmother" and her "strapsiblings" make her do all their dirty work. They won't let her go to Prince Don Jose Miguel's big fiesta, but her fairy godmother comes through with a gorgeous wardrobe and a beautiful "transporte" drawn by a team of mules (formerly cockroaches). The heroine and Prince Don Jose tango the night away, but at midnight Senorella vammooses, leaving her glass huarache (a Mexican sandal) behind.
Prince Don Jose has every girl in the kingdom try on the glass huarache, hoping to find the mysterious princess he fell in love with. However, none of their girls' feet fit the tiny shoe. Before arriving at the house, the strapmother intentionally tossess a tied up Senorella outside in the mud with the pigs out of fear that she'll be revealed as the mysterious princess and win Don Jose's love. Both her daughters try the shoe, but their feet are too big. Prince Don Jose sees a small foot sticking out from the window and he come to the window. He places the huarache on the foot and it fits. Senorella and Don Jose are married. The man revealed that her story may have ended happily ever after, but his didn't. It proves true when he reveals that he married Senorella's strapmother and she forcibly takes him home.
