4.0 out of 5 stars The humor is rather quite English, June 15, 2008

This review is from: Prince Cinders (DVD)

This is an entertaining and often funny gender-flipped parody of the old Cinderella story, and an interesting commentary on masculine gender roles. The production and the humor is very, very English, though, with concerns about "posh" society and an unexplained difference in accents between Prince Cinder's loutish brothers (working-class accents) and Cinder himself, who has a more generic, middle-class accent -- not quite an upper-crust toff, but certainly not a Cockney fishmonger, either. The British-isms may be lost on some non-UK viewers, but the main message comes through clear as a bell. (The loud sound design and clubby music are another matter altogether, but probably less of a problem for kids than for parents...) All in all, a nice, PC-ish reading of an old, old story.

This review is from: Prince Cinders [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Prince Cinders is an enthralling twist on a timeless classic. Told to us in the male perspective with sensitivity and humor, it's sure to become an instant hit with any family. This video has entertained us for years, and the animation is superb...Don't hesitate, enjoy!
