Description:

A prince, a pumpkin, a glass slipper ... history's most enduring fairy tale returns with a thoroughly modern twist! Beautifully produced and featuring an all-star cast, RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN'S CINDERELLA shimmers to life in the most spectacular production ever of the classic musical -- including three additional Rodgers & Hammerstein songs exclusive to this special Disney presentation! Pop sensation Brandy (TV's MOESHA) stars as the beautiful Cinderella, who suffers the torment of her wicked stepmother (Bernadette Peters) and spoiled stepsisters. Cinderella dreams of the impossible -- going to the ball and dancing with the prince. Her impossible dream is realized when her fairy godmother (Whitney Houston) teaches her that with positive thinking and belief in yourself, "impossible things happen every day!" Also starring Jason Alexander (TV's SEINFELD) and Whoopi Goldberg (SISTER ACT), Disney's sparkling new version of RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN'S CINDERELLA promises to be an instant classic. Now you can relive the magic anytime you wish!

More is not necessarily better. A glitzy Hollywood cast and a big budget did not improve the wonderful 1957 teleplay (or its equally charming 1964 remake) upon which this version is based. This is partly because Brandy, cast in the title role, cannot act. Not helping matters are Whoopi Goldberg as the prince's mother and Jason Alexander as his valet. Their shtick wears thin very quickly. However, Paolo Montalban is charismatic as the prince, and Whitney Houston plays a fairy godmother with pizzazz. The production cost millions, and is certainly lavish, but the whole affair feels forced and overdone, reminding one of a prom queen wearing too much makeup. It does deserve credit for a multi-ethnic cast, the addition of two new songs and a hip attitude. However, the 1964 version (the original was not taped) is much sweeter and more romantic. Originally released as Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Brandy Haters
Thsi movie was better than the original and the remake. This movie brings together different ethnicities to come as one big project. many people who gave this product reviews are so used to seeing a all white cast that then think this was too much. It wasn't too much it just wasn't what you wanted to see! A blonde, blue eyed, caucasioa perosn like Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson is what you wanted to see not brown skinned goddess like Brandy Norwood who can out sing them both vocally if it came down to it! It's a shame to see that racism is still alive and well even when the bleniding of the ethnicities was supposed to open peoples eyes and get them to see this production in a new light! People who have previously reviewed this movie say that Brandy cannot act do you really thing Rodgers & Hammerstein would have picked her if she couldn't again because she wasn't some caucasian movie starlet she just in their eyes didn't match up well she was and will alwys be the best Cinderella thsi production has ever seen hands down! This is a classic that I wil show my kids so that they can see you achieve anything even when you have your doubters!

The best Cinderella ever!
Growing up, Cinderella was my favorite fairy tale and this version is the best! Whitney Houston and Brandy are both flawless in their singing, and the rest of the cast is great as well.

The cinderella not well-known~
This is one of the greater musicals I grew up with. I sang along with it, I had it on VHS and I even had the album, once upon a time. But long since had it been missing from my collection, I was shocked and amazed to find it here, and it had everything I remembered. From "My Own Little Corner" to "Impossible", the songs bring back great memories of singing with old friends. The film is a wonderful sing-a-long for those who often do find themselves enjoying sing-a-longs.

Cinderella
The Movie was great to view again though i did find the film to be streched across the screen, i tried fixing this with the different views but i found nothing worked. But it worked and that is all i really wanted.
