I remember watching this as a child. I already was a fan of Carol Burnett and remember being excited about seeing her in this movie on television. Afterwards I wanted my mother to put a pea under my mattress! Of course, being a little girl, I knew I was a princess and wanted to prove it! Lol This was such a magical movie for me from a classic fairy tale. I wish they would air it again. Yes, by today's standards the set is tacky. That's part of what makes this movie so good. A child could use their imaginations. The colors could be whatever they imagined them to be. If my memory is correct, this was in b&w. If I could find it on dvd, I would buy it, if only for the nostalgia factor.
