Cast includes "Egghead" (Prince Charming), and "Jerry Colonna" all the palace guards).
Director: TEX AVERY. Story: Tedd Pierce. Animation: Virgil Ross. Music director: Carl W. Stalling. Color by Technicolor. Producer: Leon Schlesinger.
Copyright 8 December 1938 by The Vitaphone Corp. A Warner Bros. "Merrie Melodies" cartoon. U.S. release: 25 July 1938. 7 minutes.
COMMENT: Warner Brothers' cartoon gag-men were often at their very best when re-working classic fairy tales. This highly diverting Cinderella variant is certainly no exception.
"Cinderella Meets Fella" is crammed full of absolutely delicious sight and aural gags. For example, the step-sisters exit their scene to the strains of "High-ho, Silver".
There are also lots of ingeniously amusing changes that turn standard cast members into really weirdo characters (for example, we have here a fairy godmother on the booze).
We are also more than amply supplied with delightful songs ("Boy Meets Girl") and extremely lavish production values.
Yes, all told, "Cinderella Meets Fella" is typical Tex Avery at his Warner's peak.
