What happens

Floricienta (Latin American Spanish: [floɾiˈsjenta]; known in English as Flinderella) is an Argentine children's musical soap opera based on the Cinderella story. It originally aired between 2004 and 2005 on Canal 13 and has since been broadcast in more than 40 countries in Latin America, Israel, and various parts of Europe, becoming an international phenomenon for children and teenagers around the world. International networks that have broadcast Floricienta include Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, and Jetix. It was also available on Sky UK's satellite programming. The lead roles were portrayed by two-time Martín Fierro-Award-winning actress Florencia Bertotti, Juan Gil Navarro, Isabel Macedo, Fabio Di Tomaso and Benjamín Rojas. The show was created by Cris Morena and was produced by Cris Morena Group in association with RGB Entertainment. The series became a ratings phenomenon in Argentina, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. Floricienta quickly became a commercial success, positioning its discography among the top charts in countries such as Argentina, Uruguay, Mexico, Colombia, and Israel, among others. The franchise also generated more than 200 licensed products and hosted several musical tours attended by more than one million viewers in Argentina, Latin America, and Israel. These included more than 100 concerts at the Teatro Gran Rex in Buenos Aires, ten concerts at the Luna Park Stadium, and four at the José Amalfitani Stadium, all within the City of Buenos Aires. The format was sold to five countries and was eventually adapted by Bandeirantes in Brazil (Floribella), SIC in Portugal (Floribella), TVN in Chile (Floribella), RCN Televisión in Colombia (Floricienta), and Televisa in Mexico (Lola, érase una vez). In an interview with Radio 10, Cris Morena announced the sale of Latin American rights to Disney Channel. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
