Description
An elegant, amusing version of the Perrault romance by Michele L. Vacca, with just the right balance of comedy and suspense, and a touch of classical dance, with music by Tchaikovsky..

The plot: King Philip and Queen Eleanor, rulers of Pharoffland, grieve because they have no child. Count Frederick, the loyal Prime Minister also grieves; "When Your Majesties are sad, then I am sad also . . . When Your Majesties are sad, the entire kingdom is sad . . . The people stop singing in the streets, the palace cook burns the roast beef, even the weather is gloomy, and then everyone in the whole kingdom catches a cold, and the whole kingdom is sick in bed, and the entire economy is ruined . . . Your Majesties simply must . . . cheer up!" They refuse to do so, however, until they have a child.

Directed by Carol Heiland Rosa
