The Tender Tale of Cinderella Penguin by Janet Perlman 1981

I used to show this video every year to my freshman English class as part of their children's storybook project.

i've been watching this since i was a baby on 'nfb for kids', what a classic! and yeah, the harpsichord in the music is so striking and old-fashioned! ;u;

@cindyella1 And the reason you feel the need to belittle what we like is...what? Appreciation for good work knows no age.

Since I first saw this at an animation festival back in the early 90s, the samba music, and the unwieldy Chinese dragon costume at 5:52 and 6:18, have been on my list of personal favorite things in any animated short EVER.
