I saw Cinderella - it was absolutely lovely! I love it when childrens shows are actually good and the adults aren't squirming and wanting to leave. What's the difference? I'd be tempted to say that it may be as simple as not belitteling children. Children are very clever. They pick up on subtle emotional shifts. they know what's going on, understanding much more that they're able to express.
Shonas puppets used inventive scene setting and reduced some classic parts of the story - for example the pumpkin became just the name of the radio show cinderella was listening too. The ugly sisters were gloves. I liked this inventive treatment of the source material.
