Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)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.

Based on Babette Cole's best-selling book, Prince Cinders is an outrageously funny twist on the classic fairy tale Cinderella. After his three mean, muscle-bound brothers leave for Princess Lovelypenny's big party, a well meaning but inept fairy godmother offers to turn the scrawny Prince into a muscled Hercules - but instead turns him into a gigantic, hairy ape!
