This movie is a combination of the non-magical world of Rossini's "La Cenerentola" (Cinderella), and the magical world of the traditional fairy tale of "Cinderella". Alidoro, a magician in the movie, replaces the Fairy Godmother of the traditional fairy tale in being instrumental in getting Cenerentola to the ball at the Prince's palace - and the bracelet (of the opera) replaces the lost slipper of the traditional fairy tale. Don Magnifico's dream, of the flying donkey and the church steeple, is played out in puppet form. The language is Italian, and there is English narration throughout. A cute and enjoyable movie!
