Looking for a Cinderella film?!
Question: When I was younger, not very long ago, we used to have a film of cinderella, but it wasn't the cartoon disney version.
Instead of a Fairy God Mother it had Mag the mermaid, I think, and Cinderellas father is being poisoned by the evil stepmother, so he is too ill to go to the ball.
Also all the costumes are updated a bit, and the prince is uninterested in going to the ball, he would rather stay with his friends.
Apart from that I only remember the scene where Cinderella arrives at the ball but the guards won't let her in because she isn't wearing any shoes. She sits on a bench in the garden and starts to cry but petals fall from a tree over her and create shoes, so then she is let in to the ball.
Does anyone know what this film was called or anything about it?
Thanks for your help.

Do you remember if Kathleen Turner was the evil stepmother?
Sounds like "Cinderella"
