Having always enjoyed the books about Cinderella, i always wanted it on video or dvd. Thankfully my husband managed to get them for me on dvd last year. I was really happy when i got them, i sat down with my eldest daughter of nine and youngest 2 and watched them. The animation is outstanding for its time and the restoration of it brings a whole new life to it. I'm sure all girls and women know the story of Cinderella. I'd be surprised if they didn't. Her father remarries a woman with two daughters. He works away so she is left with them. They are very nasty to her making her do all the cleaning and things. The stepmother don't care much for her. A ball is held and they all go except for poor Cinders. But she does really with the help of her fairy god mother. She has to leave by midnight loses her shoe while runnning out. thats how the prince came to find her. Everyone tried on this shoe she left behind but it fitted no-one apart from Cinders. Thay married and that is your happy ending. My youngest was glued to all the animals especially the mice. A fairytale with a sad beginning which ends with a happy ending. That is every girls dream. My eldest daughter also enjoyed them as she is very much into her princess's and things. Well worth the watch if you enjoy fairytale animations. Girls will love this film.
