Yet another adaptation of Cinderella, this one has the leading lady and her prince as...cats. This is the second of ten Aesop's Fables. This one is also quite old and is presented in Black and White. There's some grain issues and a little bit of wear quite evident.
The story itself is pretty straightforward and simple, we meet Cinderella who is quite upset as her stepmother yells at her....sort of. The rest of the short plays out as the Fairy Godmother makes it possible for Cindy to head off to the ball where she enjoys a dance with he prince, and a game of hide and seek behind some rather thin trees. After having to run away from the ball at midnight, her prince gives chase and the short ends as they fly off in a helicopter of sorts.
The entire thing is pretty...weird. If you want to see the story of Cinderella there are many other variations that work far better, partly in thanks to bigger budgets and longer run times to really tell the story and flesh the character.s
