You wouldn't believe this was made in 1996.

Made as a collaboration between Tatsunoko and the Italian Group Mondo TV, Cinderella Monogatari is one of many classics made as part of a long time partnership between Japan and Europe.
I won't bore you with the plot as it's still the downtrodden Cinderella forced to live under a cruel stepmother, so let's see how it differs.
Paulette the suddenly named Fairy Godmother manipulates things in the background to make it better for Cinderella also giving her the ability to talk to animals.
The prince, comically named Charles plays a more central role as a rebellious rogue and does meet Cinderella multiple times long before the more traditional Royal Ball story.
And while the Step mother and sisters are there, we have an actual villain named Duke Zaral who tries to take over the Kingdom multiple times.
While the pacing is slow as anything, this is probably the most well characterised story of Cinderella, time is spent focussing on developing Charles and Cinderella's relationship as they play off each other, it helps the narrative that the Prince is usually in disguise, even when we do get to the more familiar story elements with the Royal Ball, Cinderella's reason for going was to say goodbye to Charles thinking she would never see him again, which is where Paulette steps in to fix everything.
If we really have to sit through a 26 episode story of Cinderella, then this is one of the only ways to do it.
Dubbing is fine, especially as English wasn't the first choice for dubbing to begin with.
Final Verdict: It's hardly an exciting watch but it's at least competent in it's characters and story telling.
