The Tender Tale of Cinderella Penguin
19819 min 57 secFilm: Animation, Children's film
Direction: Janet Perlman
Production: Janet PerlmanDerek Lamb
A new look at a centuries-old fairy tale! Using a medieval style of illustration to animate the story of Cinderella, the film gives the leading role to a mistreated, romantic penguin, with hilarious results. Cinderella Penguin loses her magic flipper as she runs to meet her midnight deadline, but all ends well when Prince Charming finds the right webbed foot and the nasty step-family is brought to heel. Film without words.
