Die Eisprinzessin (1996)
This is another variation of the Cinderella story: the bright and beautiful Ella lives in the household of a lord since her mother died. She's unhappy because the lord's daughters treat her like their servant. The country is in problems, because the prince is a dreamer and doesn't realize that his chancellor abuses his power. When the day nears the prince is forced by law to find a wife, a celebration on a frozen lake is arranged. Ella manages to skate on the lake for him too, hiding her identity. The prince falls in love with her, so he tries to find her. His chancellor attempts to hinder them, since he knows about Ella's critical thoughts.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
I used to adore this movie when I was a child. This story is a little girls dream. A beautiful leading character, a beautiful and sweet prince, about everything is beautiful. It truly is a Cinderella story with the nice feature of beautiful ice-skating, nice music and lots and lots of romance. Sometimes it might be a little over the top, but this truly is the way to make it very much fairy tale-like. The whole setting of the ice, the landscape and the fast that ice is almost always makes it like it is a theater show that is filmed, but it also has very movie-like elements. The clothing and the interaction of Ella with the children makes it a little like the musical Annie. Which isn't my taste.
the Figure Skating on Katarina Witt and Toller Cranston. It is very pretty. and the Music they play it is nice. Katarina Witt is the best Figure Skating in the show. If you like Figure Skating, you must see this show.
