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 (Keri Russell). Unfortunately his mean--but not that mean--stepmother (Kathy Najimy) wants her two other sons to go to the ball at which the princess must declare whom she wishes to marry.
The film is certainly focused on the youngsters (as opposed to the slightly older audience of the Muppet films), but there are plenty of puns and wry humor for adults to enjoy. The handful of songs are quite pleasant, as is the length (50 minutes). Oliver Platt (as a new "fairy godperson") and French Stewart (as Cinderelmo's dog-turned-footman) enjoy their roles with relish. Appearing in various small roles are plenty of the Sesame Street gang, including Grover, Kermit, Cookie Monster, Bert, and Ernie. Great fun. --Doug Thomas

My daughter and I are BIG fans!
CinderElmo is so funny! I laugh at the comedy and my 20 month old daughter dances to the music. We both love it!
Don't waste your collective time
If you are reading this by yourself, chances are you are the parent-type. Let me save you some time. Though this movie is an "Elmo" movie, it was very lacking of the red guy. If you want one Elmo movie to play over and over and over, stick with Elmo in Grouchland. It is very similar to Labyrinth (from the '80's and not soo much for the pre-school crowd) which was good for me. It was cute and there were some good songs and decent acting. Also, on a totally "awwww" level, I love hearing my 2 year old daughter sing "Elmo's best friend". I doubt you'd get a song like that in most of the other films. Cheers!
It is a good fill-in
This video gets you by in a pinch. The music is passable with the "human stars". My son is a Elmo fan but will choose other productions over this one. Like I said, it will get us by in a pinch. I rate it average for a Sesame Workshop Production.
