Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

neil_t-2 When I was growing up I saw this movie every Christmas for a decade or more and loved it every time.I'm not 100% certain that I'd still enjoy it as an adult, but I did as a teen and my parents and uncles and aunts did so I'm guessing it can stand the test of growing up.The most amazing thing about this little movie is that, for all that it featured muppets in many of the key roles, and for all that the story was full of sarcasm and humor and misadventure, the whole thing has a much more human and realistic feel than any other version I've come across.******** Not a plot spoiler but could be considered a joke spoiler **************When Kermit gripes about Cinderella not wanting to kiss him because of species prejudice ... When Cinderella flees the ball and the prince steps on and crushes the glass slipper ... When Cinderella, in her grief, has the footman bury the 2nd shoe, the last vestige of her time at the ball, in the certain knowledge that he's too scatterbrained to find it again...They all seem so much more down to Earth and real than Disney's twinkly fairy story.I think I would very much enjoy seeing this again.****************** Aaaarggh **************************How could I have been so wrong! Yes, as written it's quite a good parody. Yes the muppets' parts are actually quite good.But NO! The human acting is terrible. The sets are cheap, flimsy, and badly painted. The production values make it look like it was filmed on a broken shoestring budget. My memory has this at a 9. My disappointment gives it a 3, one for the plot, 1 for the jokes, 1 for the muppets, Nothing for anything else. This is ONE film that could NOT be damaged by a remake.

the_green_monster I saw this movie as a child and think it is probably the most unique version of Cinderella I've ever seen! It is absolutely magical and real. I wish I could come across it again, it's sad, romantic, funny- everything a little girl could want. The genius behind the writing is that it isn't your typical fairy tale story where everything comes together once the prince finds his princess but takes a more unique approach to the most beloved story of all time. The ideas behind Cinderella's rag to riches transformation was magic of its own. And the fanciful approach with the muppets made the movie great for families. Jim Henson did it right when he made this one!

chool Leave it to The Muppets to take a fairy tale classic, make it their own & come up with a winning TV movie. Belinda Montgomery & Robin Ward are perfectly cast as Cinderella & Prince Charming AKA Arthur. Their wide eyed expressions & fun performances give the muppets stiff competition. Of course everyone comes out on top, but like 'The Muppets Frog Prince' this TV film shows Kermit acting differently from his later day persona. This Kermit is less square (I hope I don't get in trouble for that comment) & more sarcastic, although anything works for Kermit, but he's hilarious here.Its a shame The Muppets didn't take on more fairy tale classics. With a winning combination like this, they couldn't lose. Great family fun.

clob_lane CINDERELLA is beautifully retold in this enchanting piece of entertainment: HEY CINDERELLA! I have no doubts this has to be one of Jim Henson's best specials ever. LABYRINTH (1986) was also a sensation. Belinda Montgomery is especially joyful as the youthful Cinderella. I really loved the fairy godmother. Kermit, Splurge and the rest of the cast were equally adorable. The Muppets are one of the key things in making a good rendition of a fairy tale e.g. THE FROG PRINCE starring Kermit the Frog.
