Summary: Finally one of Czech best fairy tailes.
Review: Tree wishes or "Tri orisky pro Popelku" ( "Three hazelnuts for Cinderella) is one of the best Czech fairy tailes ever made. Even after more then 30 years it doesn't lose any of it's magic. It is one of the movies that you can watch over and over. Many European Tv stations include it as a must in it's Christmas line up.
Libuse safrankova who portraits Cinderella is one of the Finest Czech actors . She had played in other spectacular czech fairy tailes such as "Treti Princ" ( Third Prince)and "Princ a Vecernice" (Prince and EveningStar). She also played in Academy awarded "Kolya" (1996).
This version of Cinderella is by far one of the best I have seen.Even though made during a communist regime it was very well made. Great costumes, incredible sets and actors performances are a strong side of Czech movie making.
Too bad there aren't other films of Czech production more widely available in North America.
Barrandov studios which produced this film is one of the finest in the world and many American producers use their studios while making movies in central Europe.
This story of Cinderella even though has same story line as many other versions made all over the world it includes elements not seen in other versions which made it one of the all time favorite.
It will make a great family favorite for generations to come just as it has for the past 31 years

Summary: A movie I grew up with
Review: When I saw this movie on dvd made for the us I was thrilled to be able to show it to my family. I used to love this film and till this day I still do just as much as I did then. The dvd version is not as good as most dvd's out there since no cleaning or color enhancement have been used. Plus the subtitles have been very poorly translated into english. Most of the words are dispelled or don't add up. Overall the dvd is worth it just for the fact it has retained its original language and beautyful music.
