In the Disney movies, Cinderella stays friends/sisters with Drizella and Anastasia. On the other hand, in the Grimm version, they have their eyes pecked out for their evil doings.

When the bridal couple walked into the church, the older sister walked on their right side and the younger on their left side, and the pigeons pecked out one eye from each of them. Afterwards, as they came out of the church, the older one was on the left side, and the younger one on the right side, and then the pigeons pecked out the other eye from each of them. And thus, for their wickedness and falsehood, they were punished with blindness as long as they lived.
