CinderElmo
“Sesame Street brings this classic fairy tale to life through the eyes of Elmo!”
Synopsis
Our favorite little red monster is the star of this delightful film that playfully skews the story of Cinderella. Originally aired on Fox television in 1999, the feature is a playful mix of human actors and Sesame Street characters that is an easy watch for families with 3- to 7-year-olds. Cinderelmo (he's a boy, if you didn't know) dreams of playing in a castle and meeting the princess. Unfortunately his mean--but not that mean--stepmother wants her two other sons to go to the ball at which the princess must declare whom she wishes to marry.
