Tři oříšky pro popelku/Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel
Tři oříšky pro Popelku ("Three Little Nuts for Cinderella"; known in German as Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel, "Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella"; also called in English Three Wishes for Cinderella or Three Gifts for Cinderella) is a Czechoslovak—East German fairy-tale film from 1973.
Plot
Cinderella's stepmother has the village in a frenzy preparing for the arrival of the king and queen, who will be stopping en route to their nearby castle. Cinderella takes the blame for a kitchen boy's accident, prompting her stepmother to berate her as well as her late father. The angered Cinderella snaps back at her, for which she is punished by having to separate lentils and ashes mixed together in a bucket. As she settles down to work, her friends, a flock of white doves, come in to separate the mixture for her. Freed of her punishment, Cinderella visits the stable to see her white horse, which she used to ride in the forest with her father as they hunted with crossbows. A lookout cries that the royal party approaches and everyone gathers to greet them, except Cinderella, who is forbidden to attend as the Stepmother wants to showcase her own less attractive daughter, Dora, since the Prince is expected to marry soon.
