1754 In this real drop down corker of a movie, Cindy, real tomgirl that she is who plays basketball and fishes all day, wonders why she's not invited to Mary's party. She weeps to her mother (who is very strange looking and has no eyebrows) before she goes to bed. That night, her fairy godmother wakes her up and tells her that she's invited to the party, and takes Cindy to the party, while trotting out conformitive hints and tips with her wand like "leave on time" and "be a good loser". Soon, the fairy godmother leaves, Cindy cries for her not to leave as she is woken up by her mother, who says that Mary's sister, who's in the bedroom as well, forgot to bring the invitiation over. What do you know, she LOOKS like the fairy godmother... Yeah yeah, that's interesting, but what I wanna know is why on earth was she invited to her sleeping child's bedroom? A truly astounding movie, a MUST SEE on this site. *bing!* Spuzz 2003-03-29 22:37:02 2003-03-29 22:36:01 5 5644 A lesson in good manners turns into a seething cauldron of angst and recrimination. Cindy the tomgirl learns how to act at a party, taking part in games you don't like, and telling boys that they won the game, even when they didn't. The best part is that when Cindy and her friends start anticipating the good behaviour lessons, the fairy godmother gets depressed and tells them she has to leave immediately. Sounds like she could use a few lessons, herself. Let's sublimate our personalities for the good of the collective! dynayellow 2003-08-16 08:15:02 2003-08-16 08:15:02 5 Cindy falls asleep worried that she’s not invited to Mary’s party because of her tomboy ways. A “fairy godmother” enters her room. But she tells Cindy that “she mustn’t tell anyone” about her visit (except her friend Dennis, another socially challenged child). A stranger entering a child’s room at night and telling the child she “mustn’t tell”? This film certainly wouldn’t be made today! Cindy and Dennis are misfits. Cindy likes to “play basketball or go fishing.” Dennis, we learn later, “plays rough and breaks things.” The fairy godmother shows them “how to act” at the party. This film is less manipulative and judgmental than some of the others at the archives. The children’s “faults” aren’t treated like moral failings—although it’s true that Cindy’s tomboy ways are seen as a trait that isolate her from the other children. Dennis’s rough behavior is not treated as pejoratively, his invitation didn’t get “lost” like Cindy’s. The party itself is humble by today’s standards and the children are expected to entertain themselves. “Does anyone want ice cream and cake?” The small portion sizes the children eat (and there were no seconds) might be one reason why there was less childhood obesity then. Learning to be a Good Winner 5 Marysz 2004-03-07 20:39:44 2006-06-22 03:01:01 12402 This Cinderella films reminds me of the TV show called: "I Dream Of Jeannie" but without Major Nelson nor Dr. Bellows. This is a very educational film and it could be a good learning tool for all of us, young or old, how to act whenever we go to a social function or a party.

Fortunately, her fairy godmother comes and saves the day, mostly by waving her magic wand to make rules of party etiquette appear in the air in front of her. Cindy and her friend Dennis (who is also afflicted with the same psychosis, even seeing the fairy godmother in a print of Whistler’s Mother) have fun at the party by being good little conformists and following all the fairy godmother’s rules. However, when Cindy begins to anticipate what the fairy godmother will say (which is not too difficult as her rules are incredibly obvious and elementary––“Don’t break things” is an example), the godmother slides into a fit of depressed uselessness, saying, “You don’t need me anymore!”, which is a cue for Cindy and Dennis to emotionally rescue her by insisting that they do too need her, and generally shoring up her fragile ego. So they are also learning the habits of codependence at an early age as well. As you might guess from the description, this film is incredibly campy and has a great deal of entertainment value. I always say you can’t go wrong with supernatural visitors, especially neurotic ones. Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: *****. Weirdness: *****. Historical Interest: *****. Overall Rating: *****. Conform to All Rules So Everybody Can Have a Good Time!

The neighbor girl appears to drug her victims with some form of halucinogenic, and carries on with some bazaar fantasy she has about being a fairy godmother. She goes on to lead the child from the home with the standard pedophile baitings of party cake and what not. She takes the child to another location containing more children she has abducted. In her wake is a trail of graffiti as she defaces the walls of every room she enters. Obviously well practiced in her sick obsessions, she returns the child before morning, and even has the nerve to re-enter the house as a legitimate visitor, as though she had just gotten there! AWESOME cowboy wallpaper!!

This film was passe even in 1955. The over-acting of the fairy godmother was annoying. Naive for its time 2 ERD 2005-12-23 12:56:19 2006-06-22 10:43:48 You and your friends should enjoy this. It's fairly absurd. I like any of these films which have an "imagination" aspect to them.
