The Tender Tale of Cinderella Penguin
🎬 Summary:
In this adaptation of Charles Perrault's famous tale, Cinderella, her wicked stepsisters, and the prince all have something special about them: they are all played by charming penguins! The future princess thus arrives at the ball adorned with the most beautiful features a seabird could dream of.
🎙️ A word from the team:
An official selection at the Annecy Festival in 1983, this short, wordless animated film offers an original and humorous take on the tender story of Cinderella in medieval England. Writer and director Janet Perlman deliberately avoided the almost automatic association of beauty and virtue so common in traditional fairy tales of the time. By choosing to represent all the characters as penguins, they were simply birds!
