The Tender Tale of Cinderella Penguin
Фильм және анимация
This short animation is a zany version of the classic fairy tale, with the leading role played by a mistreated, romantic penguin, with hilarious results. Cinderella Penguin loses her magic flipper as she runs to meet her midnight deadline, but all ends well when Prince Charming finds the right webbed foot and the nasty step-family is brought to heel. A 1981 Oscar® nominee.
Directed by Janet Perlman - 1981 | 10 min

Cinderella + club penguin= this Masterpiece
9:09 - 9:57 That Gregorian chanting is another example of the historically accurate music that lends itself to the film's charm.
I saw this when I was little and read the book but I forgot about it until now. I actually cried a little because of the memories. I also had no idea when it was released.

So glad you rediscovered it here! Hope you enjoy the rest of our collection.
Top Notch! Every Penguin played their part Outstandingly! 5 stars!
Never thought I’d see the Penguins Behind Bars style in anything else. Cool!
Cinderella's wig is on point.
This is the version I want my kids to grow up with some day
I never noticed all the penguin versions of classical art in the background. Those are awesome.
the mouse is also a penguin, and the cheese become the coachman jajajajajaja
2:51 - 3:14 Just listen to that Elizabethan music! There's an example of what surely helped make this short award-winning.

At least one of the sisters waved back when Cinderella waved at them goodbye
I remember seeing this as a kid,it always made me so sad when she cried and slept on the hard piece of wood 🥺😢😞💔
I saw this in school when I was a kid. I had no idea it was an NFB film, by the same person who made Dinner for Two (which I saw in the movie Children First).
Remember reading this book back in elementary in the library but had no idea there was a animated version of it!!!

This is the exact story I remember, but I knew it as a book! The art style immediately triggered the memory of the scene where they close the dang door on her poor foot!
I remember seeing this movie in elementary school in my guidance classes. The evil penguins scared the crap outta me back then
Penguins mate for life.

I saw this short at least twice on Eureka's Castle as a child and absolutely loved it. I got the book version in third grade and loved it just as much. This short is a wonderful classic.
Penguins can be so cruel to each other....

I love that tale
Grew up watching this cartoon back when I was about 7-8 years old now am 36 and still remember it wow nostalgia indeed almost shed a tear lol.
Can't trust an evil step-penguin and her offspring!🐧🐧🐧
This is really good. It has a really nice ending. A piece of music that is heard in this is also heard in the Star Trek episode The Squire Of Gothos. There is also a Pink Panther episode called Pinkeralla. The cult BBC Schools radio series Music Workshop also did a story based on Cinderella.
Very cute and lovely film!
This is a really good video. I do remember seeing this years ago. The best piece of music is the wedding music at the end. The music heard when the invitations are delivered is also heard in the Star Trek episode The Squire of Gothos. The cult schools radio series Music Workshop did a version of the story. There is a Pink Panther cartoon called pinkerella.
OH MY GOODNESS - this made me remember the book!
Bruh this was my childhood
Reminds me of penguin behind bars
2:03 That’s Scarlatti
The step sisters were never skinny with s corset at the ball lol And Thought the step mother was happy wheh she saw the paper thought her new husband passed away and that's why she was happy
thanks for uploading this i remember watching this when i was young!
I remember this from a tv ad for the tv show Coliopy from the USA Network.
I was wondering if someone could help me: I saw this Cinderella cartoon long ago and saved it to a playlist, only for the video to have been deleted from KZread. I can't remember enough details to properly search for a replacement, all I remember is that Cinderella had a dog who wore an eyepatch, the king appeared to be much older than Cinderella, and it's the only film version I know of where Cinderella finds nobles for her stepsisters to marry (and the nobles turn out to be similar to the stepsisters, who were fat).

this is the story of Cinderella penguin once upon a time there was a kindhearted and sweet penguin named Cinderella she lived with her stepmother and two selfish stepsisters who were very mean to her and made her do all the housework morning to dawn 😊
Cute shoes😊
In the original the evil sisters chop off parts of their feet to fit inside the shoe.
😢😢😢😢😢poor girl she didn't deserve this

OMG my parents bought this book for me (in French) at those Scholastic Book Fairs and I loved it 'cause I loved penguins and I mean Penguin Cinderella - - - that poster in the background at 8:45, it's a penguin mockup of a classic artwork, I remember it was crisper in the book and it was the first time I'd seen a variation on that artwork so that work I now always associate with medieval penguins. I'm am so much prouder to be Canadian that now I realize that a) that book was Canadian, and b: my (parents) tax dollars funded this.
If everything The fairy god mother provided disappeared then why did the glass flipper disappear!? Also there was no one else in the kingdom that same shoe size as Cinderella

I'll give Perlman some good credit for redrawing those scenes for her book than to simply take the film and create stills for the purpose. Sometimes that always seems like a cheat when they do that.
