I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This movie is basically the story of Cinderella. Its entertaining and beautiful. I'd recommend it if you're a fan of this set up. I like the twist where instead of a fairy godmother that appears out of nowhere after years of abuse she gets some nuts with magical garments in them from an owl. Its very pretty and entertaining.

I had been wracking my brain for years trying to remember the name of this movie. All I could think of was that there were three magical nuts and when the girl would throw the nuts on the ground, different clothes would appear. I believe she was a very strong willed girl and not easily tempted by the interest of a prince - but then again it's been a long time since I've seen it. Finally when I put 'Cinderella' in the title search - voilà - there it was!! I remember watching this around the holidays as a young girl in Canada and I always loved it. It was one of those Christmas shows that you just had to watch year after year. I still have many shows like that now. It's not Christmas without watching certain shows and this may become one of those shows again. I hope to find it find it on YouTube in full to watch again with my daughter.

As a child I watched this on a rerun and fell for the enchanting story which whisked me away into a fantasy far from my own rather boring life. I remember being on holiday when it was showing and begging my father to get us home in time to be able to watch it on TV. The story is simply magical and for any audience still holds a romance all of its own. Anyone who has not seen it should watch it and if you remember it then you will know just what I am saying.I am trying to get hold of it on DVD but so far unsuccessfully.... If anyone knows where I may get hold of a copy then please do send me an e-mail (simonhbailey@blueyonder.co.uk) I would be very grateful.This is one show that has stayed firmly fixed in my memory and I would love to be able to see it again sometime.

I looked through all the comments here, so I will probably say the same things as everybody else. This movie is the BEST Cinderella movie adaptation ever made! I grew up in Moscow, where this movie is being shown very often on the TV. The acting, dialogues, music, plot everything is just perfect. I wouldn't even compare it to Ever After though I like this one too. I've never seen such a beautiful Cinderella and handsome Prince. And all the comments on this movie made by people all around the world is a true proof that this movie after so many years is still loved that much, which is great, because these days we haven't got so many movies pure and beautiful as this one. THough it's just a Cinderella story. SO, if you haven't seen it yet you SHOUld!!! It's worth it!
