Cinderella is a television film released on January 1, 2000, in the UK,[4] directed by Beeban Kidron. The cast is led by Kathleen Turner, who plays the Wicked Stepmother Claudette.[4] The film follows the original idea of the fairytale classic but is based in a modern world full of fashion and technology.

Plot

In this version of Cinderella, the heroine is called Zezolla (

Leslie Philips) and Mab (Jane Birkin) the mermaid like
lady who lives behind a waterfall. Meanwhile, the Queen of the land is frustrated with her ‘lazy’ son, Prince Valiant who won't pick a wife, he's not interested in love, love isn't cool, he only likes cool things, until he sees Zezolla. Cinderella does go to the ball but her intent is to sabotage Claudette's plans to find a new husband. While dancing older men away from her evil stepmother, the Prince falls in love with her at first sight. The two would be lovers share a precious few moments together before she has to jump back into a pool she fell out of as the clock strikes midnight.

The world in which this story is set is a mixture of periods, expressed through fashion and music but still maintaining a sense of magic and wonder. The fairy godmother role is given to a mermaid like woman who lives in a cave behind a waterfall that only lets certain people through. Mab, doesn't like people and is off handed at first with Zezolla and nearly doesn't help her get to the ball. A contrast to the extravagant carriage and over the top dress with an assortment of animals turned into servants, this Cinderella seems to be new age.
