Why “Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella” Is a Holiday Favorite
Adapted from the Czech novel “O Popelce” by Božena Němcová, “Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella” is a unique retelling of the Cinderella story. While it shares similarities with the Grimm brothers’ fairy tale, this version offers a refreshing twist.
Unlike the traditional Cinderella, this Cinderella (or Popelka) is a strong and independent heroine. She charms the prince not just with her beauty but with her intelligence, wit, and impressive skills, such as her prowess with a crossbow and her exceptional horse-riding abilities. These qualities make her a relatable and inspiring character for modern audiences.
The film also incorporates elements from other fairy tales, such as The Frog Prince and Frau Holle, adding depth to its magical storyline.
