THREE WISHES FOR CINDERELLA
Charming
I remember watching this on the Kukla, Fran, and Ollie show as a child and have been hoping for its release to video or DVD for many years. The DVD production values are, as stated in other reviews, not the greatest, but I'm just glad to have the movie.<br /><br />In this version, Cinderella slaves for her stepmother and one stepsister, wonderfully portrayed here. An old friend and fellow servant brings her a small branch with three nuts on it. With the help of an apparently magical owl, she uses the three nuts to disguise herself and meet the prince in a variety of situations, not just the ball. It's great fun to watch her beat him and his friends in an archery game.<br /><br />Be aware that there is no English language track on the DVD, only the original Czech with English subtitles. They aren't the best, but you can tell what's going on.
