Three Wishes For Cinderella Blu-Ray

Vaclav Vorlicek's reworking of the classic Cinderella from 1973 is one of the most beloved films in the entire history of Central European cinema. The delightful and unconventional Three Wishes for Cinderella places the well-known fairy tale in a winter setting with down-to-earth characters and a lively and rebellious Cinderella. She is far from being just a passive beauty; she is a keen horse rider, a masterful hunter and takes every opportunity to challenge – and actively pursue – her handsome prince.

Three Wishes for Cinderella is a perennial favorite on television throughout Europe (including as a dubbed BBC series in the 1970s) and continues to charm with its magic and wonder.
