The Tender Tale of Cinderella Penguin

Perlman, Janet, (film director.). Perlman, Janet, (film producer.). Lamb, Derek, (film producer.). National Film Board of Canada (Montreal), (film producer.).

Summary: 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.
