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

Rating:  - "CINDERELLA" 1997: BRANDY AS POP PRINCESS FOR A POP MUSIC GENERATION.
Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Cinderella" was originally written in 1957 as a television showcase for Julie Andrews. That original live broadcast was seen by an estimated 107 million viewers. The charming musical's reputation was nearly destroyed by an embarrasingly amateurish 1965 TV remake featuring Lesley Ann Warren. It is this version, unfortunately, that was videotaped and shown on TV for several decades. Richard Rodgers obviously took leave of his senses, since he was executive producer of ... Read More

Rating:  - 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 ...

Rating: - 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.
Rating: - 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.
