The Fairy Madrina also charms as she transforms a squash, tomatoes, garlic and chili peppers into the various parts of a coach, mice into horses and two iguanas into a coachman and footman. She's well matched romantically by the handsome, long-haired and goateed Prince Felipe (Jimmy Smets), and well opposed by the sour Madrastra (although it's slightly odd that Raquel Welch uses her own American accent for the role while everyone else has at least a hint of a Spanish accent) and her ugly stepsisters Margarita and Esmeralda. Cinderella (Daphne Zuniga), with her long black braid and hoop earrings, is a classic lovely ingenue, soft-spoken and kind to all people and animals, but shows her inner feistiness at the end when she refuses to let her Madrastra take the glass slipper from her. Otherwise, this is a straightforward, faithful retelling of the familiar story, with just a few unusual or irreverent touches here and there.
