CinderElmo coming in December

CinderElmo, a "Sesame Street"-style retelling of the classic fairy tale "Cinderella," stars Keri Russell ("Felicity"), French Stewart ("3rd Rock From the Sun"), Kathy Najimy (KING OF THE HILL and "Veronica's Closet") and Oliver Platt ("Lake Placid"), along with "Sesame Street" Muppets Elmo, Grover and Kermit the Frog. The musical special will make its world broadcast premiere Monday, Dec. 6 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. The premiere of CinderElmo is sponsored by Kmart and will be released on home video and DVD from Sony Wonder in March 2000, as a continuation of its partnership with Children's Television Workshop.

When the "Princess' 18th Birthday Holiday Ball" turns into the "Princess' 18th Birthday Holiday Find-A-Husband Ball" in the land of Sesame Street, all of the town's unmarried men and monsters make haste to the celebration -- except for CinderElmo.

While the little red monster has always dreamt of dancing with the beautiful Princess (Russell), CinderElmo's stepmother (Najimy) has set her sights on the castle for her two sons, Telly Monster and Baby Bear, and doesn't want CinderElmo to get in the way. But with the help of a novice Fairy Godperson (Platt), a Prince of a Dog (Stewart), his best friend Zoe and a little can-do attitude, CinderElmo makes it to the ball and manages to capture the Princess' heart with his fancy footwork. But when the clock strikes 12, CinderElmo flees, and the search for the Princess' true love is on.

Nancy Kanter is executive producer, Kevin Clash is co-executive producer and Bruce Leddy directs the screenplay by Tony Geiss. CINDERELMO is a production of the Children's Television Workshop.
