CinderElmo

"Sesame Street brings this classic fairy tale to life through the eyes of Elmo!"

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. Unfortunately his mean--but not that mean--stepmother wants her two other sons to go to the ball at which the princess must declare whom she wishes to marry.

    Highly recommend if you love cute movies and looking for something not serious to enjoy with the kids. At first glance adults might give this a pass, but amazingly some of my favorite actors (Oliver Platt and French Stewart) star in this film and really make it fun. I know this film gets a low rating, but so does Fifth Element. If you're in the mood for a light-hearted, adult and kid friendly movie, take the time. It's fun, just don't look for anything too deep.

Room on the Broom

Animated film based on the wonderful children's picture book written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. The story of a kind witch who invites a surprising collection of animals to join her on her broom, much to the frustration of her cat. The gang ultimately saves the witch from a fearsome dragon, and in gratitude she rewards them with a magnificent new broom which has room for everyone. A magical tale about friendship and family from Magic Light Pictures, the producers of the hugely successful The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child.
