My mom bought me this as a Christmas present back in 1994 and ever seen then I always watch it despite the fact its on for 47 Min's long.I've watched a lot of Cinderella adaptations in my time from Disney's Cinderella (both the 1950 version and the 1997 version with Brandy which was marked as racist to some but hey I thought it was good),A Cinderella Story,heck even Maid In Manhattan had a Cinderella vibe to it.
So is Jetlag's version of Cinderella better than the ones I have mentioned well here's the plot:
The story is about a beautiful maiden named Cinderella who's mother passed away from an illness and her father remarried a Lady Tremaine/Gothel lookalike who has 2 daughters. Since Cinderella's father has to go out for awhile,she is kept with her stepmother and her two stepsisters who treat her like a slave and make her do all the chores while they have all the fun. Meanwhile in a distant kingdom a young prince is been setup by his parents to find him a bride but he wants to find someone that he loves and not for his parents to tell him who he should love(yes the Disney formula eh?? reminds me of Aladdin where Jasmine wanted to find someone that she can approve of and not for her father to tell her who she should marry). So the prince's parents decided to thrown a ball to find a bride for him and he has to choose who he loves.
Back in the cottage where Cinderella lives and her stepmother receives an invitation for herself and her daughters along with Cinderella to attend. But when Cinderella asks her she tells her that she has to do the chores first before going.
Now I don't want to spoil any of the rest for you because I hate spoiling movies but the bottom line is this: I actually found this version to be really good not to mention cute. The songs are great from Here Comes Cinderella,Where Have You Been All My Life, and This My Chance Of A Lifetime,the animation isn't bad,the charcthers are engaging(hey am I the ONLY person who thinks that the Prince in this is a dead ringer to Prince Eric from Disney's The Little Mermaid),and the story is enjoyable.
I have to admit that I prefer this version than Disney's version WHY?? because the Prince in this version HAS a persona and not like the Prince from Cinderella in the Disney version who had NO persona AT ALL.Also I like both of the Cinderella's from the Disney one to the Jet lag version and quite frankly they are both really pretty.
I must have seen this version 100 times but whoever has never seen this movie before(as its very hard to find right now as copies of it are so rare to find,but if you want to purchase a copy than try EBay or better yet find it on YouTube as they have the whole movie on that site). Its definitely one to see and to cherish the way I cherished it when I was 4 years old. Im 22 now and last night I watched it and I still love it.
