To the people that made the decision of having only one guy dubbing the entire norwegian version. Thank You.
Movie 2.5/5
Dub: 7.5/5 -
You can tell that this a bisexual love story because the prince is equally thirsty for cinderella and young men in tights.

Reviewed on Cinema Eclectica.
This is apparently a massive festive tradition in its native Czech Republic, which I can understand perfectly. Stacked against British Christmas viewing, it's not quite Wallace and Gromit but it kicks the shit out of Eastenders - and manages to have an empowered, feisty heroine without feeling like a revisionist or non-traditional fairy tale. It is, simply, a fairy tale, with all the unironic satisfactions that implies. There's also a touch of Grimm around the edges; hard to imagine a children's film featuring this much bloodsports these days...

Damn, she pulls some power moves on the prince. It's also basically a super hero movie.

„Scheinbar ist der Geschmack des Prinzen ganz anders, als wir bisher dachten...“Neuinterpretation: Einer der Dude-Bros des Prinzen ist eigentlich in ihn verliebt und redet ihn daher im Hintergrund die ganze Zeit ein, dass er gar nicht heiraten will; ganz wichtig dabei: Das gemeinsame Herumtollen im Schnee mit viiiiel Körperkontakt. Der Prinz kommt aufgrund der gesellschaftlichen Unstände nicht auf seine eigene Bisexualität klar – dass er sich aktuell von Jäger-Aschenbrödel und seinem Kumpel mehr angezogen fühlt als von all den potentiellen Bräuten, verwirrt ihn. Er verhält sich daher teilweise ganz schön arschlochig (keine Entschuldigung! nur Erklärung). Beim Tanz am Hofe lässt er sich schließlich nur zu gerne von der einen Braut herumwirbeln und drehen – „Endlich versteht mich…

Here we have the classic story of Cinderella with a twist. Cinderella sure gets pushed around by her stepmother in this one too, but she's not sitting around and moping in the attic as we're used to. No, she runs around in the forest like some Ronia the Robber's Daughter character, getting in to snowball fights with the prince and shows off her hunting skills. She's free spirited, just as the prince, and they are meant for each other because of that. Not just because she shows up on the big ball looking beautiful and dropping her shoe... And oh, she also gets three wishes from an owl. Wishes that helps…

My first Christmas movie this year! Funny how this film is not even about or set during Christmas but still has become a true holiday tradition on European TV over the years. I saw a list of air dates for this year and there were nineteen of them. I don't know how long this has been going on, but it definitely started before I was born. So this movie has always been very accessible and since it also airs on children's channels a lot you can imagine that I naturally grew up on it. Like pretty much everyone I know.
"Three Wishes for Cinderella", as the English title goes, is very different than the original story of Cinderella, but you…

I know I just watched this, but it's so often on TV during the holidays that it's very convenient to just put it on while doing something else:)
Check out my full review here!
Or just watch this movie on YouTube!

Watched on cable TV
One of the best fairytale movies ever made! Absolute classic from the Czech Republic/GDR full of beautiful music, an irresistible, delightful humour and a strong female lead.
It's a slightly different version of the well-known Cinderella storyline. Here, Cinderella or Aschenbrödel, is a character that is mobbed by her stepmother and her spiteful, spoiled stepsister, but she is also a self-determined, young woman that has no fear wandering around in the woods teasing the prince and his friends in crossbow shooting. She has her own mind and if there's someone who underestimates her, she talks back and proves the person wrong.
In Germany, this is THE movie to watch with your whole family on Christmas Eve.
It never gets old and stays in the heart. Although my parents own the movie on DVD, we always watch it on cable TV. During the holidays, nearly every channel plays it at least once.

This is a truly wonderful and very fun film! A very unique take on the original Cinderella story and I love it!!
Please check out Tiger Lily’s 🐯🌸 review of this!!! She is the reason I watched it!! -
Something so earthy and charming about Eastern European fairy tales.
The first thing this Cinderella says to the prince is "when hell freezes over, asshole!" Disney could never!
