      Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) The Slipper and the Rose is the most pleasant surprise of the season, not because it is magnificent, but because it is simply a good children's film. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 16, 2023 Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net The main appeal on this one is the music and all the humor. Rated: B+ Apr 30, 2019 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy A cutely off-kilter riff on a familiar story, with just enough peculiar fascination with the unexplored ramifications of that story to feel like its own thing. Rated: 7/10 Mar 20, 2015 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Sep 26, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member One of the oldest fairy tales of all time gets the musical treatment. Many people know the 1950s Disney version of Cinderella but this one goes to a more massive scale of its storytelling. Starring a large British cast, the writers of Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and the Jungle Book and directed by Brian Forbes. The story goes as follows with Cinderella living a painful life with her wicked stepmother and two evil stepsisters. The kingdom needs Prince Edward to marry as soon as possible. His father the King couldn't care less if his son married for love, only for duty and responsibility. The fairy godmother comes in but looks more like a regular person. Marriage should be for convenience of love, not convenience, This movie is almost 2 and a half hours and keep in mind there's a song number every couple of minutes. They hardly take a break. But if you want a more melody filled take on the fairy tale then this is up your alley. This also has more real world ramifications to be looked at too in its setting. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Greggson W The best, most classic adaptation to the story Cinderella. A must watch for any fan of a fairy godmother genre.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A clever re-telling of Cinderalla punctuated by wonderful songs. The royal court provides some interesting twists -- and a plausible reason for a prince to throw a bride-finding ball. My wife and I love it! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review bill t A very good and surprising musical version of Cinderella here. I was all ready to hate it, and the Shermans songs, but all were really nice. Chamberlain is great as the prince, and Gemma Craven holds her own. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member tjis is one of my all time favorate moviee Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
