PBS Distribution released “SUPER WHY: CINDERELLA AND OTHER FAIRYTALE ADVENTURES” on DVD August 11, 2015. This new DVD includes five reading-powered adventures, two of which are about Cinderella!
Synopsis:
In the story “Cinderella,” the Super Readers help Cinderella get to the castle party to see the prince by spelling D-R-E-S-S and W-H-E-E-L. At the party, both Cinderella and Red learn an important lesson – to be themselves! In the story “Cinderella: The Prince’s Side of the Story,” the Super Readers jump into the book Cinderella: The Prince’s Side of the Story in order to help Red solve a problem – how to find her friend Little Boy Blue. As they watch the prince find clever ways to follow Cinderella after she leaves the castle because it’s almost midnight, the answer emerges.

Episodes included are:
“Cinderella: The Prince’s Side of the Story”
Red and Little Boy Blue are playing some music together when Little Boy Blue suddenly disappears! This is just like when Cinderella left the ball without finishing her dance. To solve the mystery, Super Why and his friends soar into Cinderella’s fairytale once again, and this time they talk to the prince!
“Snow White”
The super fun Storybrook Carnival is in town, and Princess Pea is enjoying lots of yummy treats until she gets a terrible tummy ache! When Goldilocks offers her some popcorn, Princess Pea knows she should refuse, but she really wants to eat just a little. The Super Readers fly into the story of Snow White as the wicked queen tempts the fairytale princess with that infamous apple. Will the Super Readers be able to stop Snow White from taking the bait before Snow White ends up with something much worse than a stomachache?
“The Prince and the Pauper”
Wyatt thinks his house is too loud while Princess Pea believes her home is too quiet! Would the friends be better off if they switched places? To look for a solution, Super Why and his friends encounter two friends just as they are about to switch houses. A prince on the farm and a pauper in a castle soon leads to chaos and confusion! Where will everyone be the happiest?
“The Boy Who Cried Wolf”
When Baby Joy says her first words, Wyatt is the only one around who hears her. The problem is that now he can’t convince anyone that she actually talked. The Super Readers fly into the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf to help that boy convince people that his wolf tale is true. Wyatt figures out a strategy for getting his family to believe that what he said – and Baby Joy said – really happened.
“Cinderella”
Red, who’s not a princess, is worried about fitting in at Sleeping Beauty’s princess party. The Super Readers leap into the book of Cinderella to see how she handled her own princess problem. When the clock strikes twelve, Red learns that she doesn’t need the help of a fairy godmother to feel good about herself.
With little guy in Kindergarten now, we watch Super Why more than we have in the past. He has watched it regularly since he was around three, but now he flip it on daily. I love how excited he gets as they learn new words and letters and now he can add the sounds and talks about other words that begin with the same letter.
Super WHY!: Cinderella and other Fairytale Adventures is currently available with an SRP of $12.99.
