Prince Cinders

About This Movie

So, 'Prince Cinders' is this quirky animated flick from '93 that flips the typical fairy tale on its head. You know, instead of the usual rags-to-riches story, we get a charming young fellow turned into an ugly ape by a rather clumsy fairy godmother in training. The animation has that hand-drawn vibe that's pretty endearing, and the pacing is brisk, fitting for a family audience. Themes of identity and sibling rivalry play out in a lighthearted manner, but there's a distinct tongue-in-cheek humor that makes it stand apart. The voice performances add a layer of character, bringing life to the chaotic household. It’s a unique take, for sure, and has a character all its own.
