Adaptation of Cinderella set in New York's Chinatown. Very fun, though not suitable for younger children (the evil "stepmother" runs a massage parlor/brothel). It uses the same animation technique as "Waking Life"- it was filmed live-action and then the animators drew over that. The animation allows for some neat visual effects and adds to the storybook feel.

4/5

Nice tag line at the end of the trailer:
