This is quite a fun take on the standard “Cinderella” fairy tale, only it proves that it’s not just we humans that can be unkind to each other. This one has us take pity on the servant in a house full of penguins who get all excited when invited to the palace for a ball. Of course, poor old “Cinderella-guin” is to be left at home, but luckily some magic is duly worked and the tale of love’s young dream follows it’s usual, more blubbery, path. The birds make for good substitutes for the people, especially when the pursers have to find a webbed-foot to fit a specially designed webbed-slipper. It’s quickly paced and brightly animated with a jolly score to keep it moving along without the need for dialogue for an entertaining ten minutes.
