#Cinderella #Brandy #WhitneyHouston #DisneyPlus #GMA
This was the first time I saw an Asian especially a Filipino as a male lead in a Hollywood film. Up to date this is still my most favorite Cinderella film.
And his voice is gorgeous
Yes! Seeing Paolo as the main love interest & Brandy as the lead (shes from my hometown) I felt so seen as a young filipino American girl in LA 🥺
Yes me too I’m black and it always made me feel I could marry anyone I want of any races and I did lol 💕
Same. Plus he’s gorgeous.
I do hope more Asians are represented and given more opportunities in various forms of media especially Hollywood
Ah, when a black woman and white man had an asian child and no one batted an eye
♡ Amen! Transracial Adoptive Families♡
For real I miss the 90s
it's called Adam and Eve that's when mankind came from
Right, absolutely!!!👏🏽
You have to thank MSM (including ABC) for such division
I cried again re-watching. The representation back then for Asian males
As a Chinese Filipino immigrant who loved Brandy and Whitney, this was so incredible to me. This movie and casting never ever left me. They have no clue how much it meant to me and I’m sure so many others growing up.
What about a black man
@@davidjonesjr6833 I'm beginning to think your racist
The Prince is a Filipino actor
I wish we can get an official soundtrack for this film that was Whitney’s biggest wish.
Debra Martin chase is working On it to get it released!
My favorite version of Cinderella. The cast was incredible. Black queen, white king, gorgeous Asian prince... makes sense to me!
What about a black king
@@davidjonesjr6833 🙄 Get over your insecurity...
@@davidjonesjr6833 if u watch the ball scene some princes are melanated
Long before Netflix's hit show Bridgeton, it was Disney's 1997 Cinderella that introduced a multiracial cast of reimagined characters in a well known period piece. I'm one of the now grown up adults who was in elementary school when it came out. And shout-out to Disney for airing it on public television so poor kids like myself could see the magic! I still remember the soundtrack.💓
I saw it on BET!!!!! and here on CZcams
I saw this on Disney Channel in 1999 when I was a kid playing with Barbies.
I saw this on ABC in 1997 when I was eight years old. The next halloween, several Black girls in my class wore blue ball gowns :)
Ditto, and I was gay and a dancer so to see boys dancing with all the beautiful diversity just killed it. Its a world many of us have been dreaming about for soo long
@@joshfisher5138 representation does matter a lot, its tragic it took Disney this long to see it. As a mass communication major, a lot of young people and kids want to see themselves represented on TV and film, this movie was truly ahead of the curb
Paolo and Brandy were absolutely Enchanting as Cinderella and the Prince! I especially kept wishing I had Brandy's sparkly blue ballgown in my closet!
We need movies like that today
The 90's were great time...
I miss those days man
I miss those days too
Little Mermaid is coming in a few years.
Seeing the racial diversity in this movie had such a delightful impact on me. I was 7 when it aired, and this cast planted the seeds of possibility into my mind. Before this, I probably wouldn’t have considered that the princess could be Black, or that the prince could be Filipino, or that the king and queen could be different ethnicities. It caused me to expand my mind and realize that there are different types of people that should all be represented.
I was a huge Brandy fan and I remember crying from excitement seeing a black princess. I had three copies of this movie. Clearly a movie before it's time!
I actually forgot about this movie. I wonder who else
@@jv-zi1yr it was the first movie I looked for when I got Disney plus
Why the hell did it take so long to begin with? This movie should have been on Disney plus from the very start
Hell, I'm still trying to figure out why there was no soundtrack.
@fxntasyland hmm interesting
@fxntasyland I guess that makes sense. R&B singer's can't be versatile. I mean if that was the case the should have said she can't sing in the film. Hear her sing in the movie is fine but listening to it on a CD would be bad. I swear record label at times don't think logically
Ppl get so upset when Disney doesn't meet their needs. ABC owns Disney. Disney has never been diverse. Guess that movie was supposed to be kept a secret.
Exactly!!!
Unofficial? Nah she is the first black princess😂
Disney NEEDS to release the official studio recordings soundtrack for this movie!!! Also, I wish they’d at least mentioned Toni Braxton playing Belle on Broadway, that was groundbreaking as well.
Thanks for sharing this. I did not know this🙂
RIP Natalie Desselle! This film and def jam's How to be a Player. BAPS! Impossible things are happening everyday!
Yes RIP Natalie. 💙💜♥️💛💚🤗
🙏🏾🕊
It's sad she and Whitney are gone
@@jermaincooper26 yes it's very sad.
💖🕊
What a beautiful voice Paolo has. I couldn't get enough of it when the film first came out. His songs and the duets with Brandy were magical.
My mom recorded this on VHS too and we wore that shit out! My sister cried when we watched it on Disney+. *Representation Matters*
The point made about the diversity within the background cast as well, really got me in the feels👑
Talk about true diversity! They had people of African, Asian, and European descent.
They never had a black king
I love the diversity of this so much
I still sing it's possible till this day! I be so so shocked when ppl like what is that song from? I'm like hello! Brandy, Cinderella! Lol. I also appreciated the fact that Cinderella was played as a black woman. For young black girls to see this to know like hey it's a Cinderella that has the same skin color as me! Plus they used multiple races in this movie, which was great! Man I miss the 90s! 😌
I've been watching video of Whitney and Brandy singing that song for a few weeks and sending it other people to watch. It's a touching, funny and great movie. I remember watching it when it originally came on TV. Awesome that younger people will see it
"Captivated little girls" But I'm a boy 😶
I loved this movie the first time I saw it and it was so great seeing a POC cast. I too wore out the VHS as a kid cause this movie was so amazing! Super glad it's on Disney+
I still have my vhs tape of this movie. As a little 5 yo Mexicana I remember it being one of my favorite movies without fully understanding y I loved it so much. I just knew that something felt different, a soothing/exciting kind of different.
I had mine too. It's messed up now. That's why I would rather watch it online.
The best live action Cinderella!

Paolo hasn’t aged a bit....it pays to be the Earthrealms champion.
Neither has Brandy Norwood.
Lol, loved him on MK
I was a little 10 year old (white) girl when this came out. I was in love with it. Now at 33 I am watching this with my Asian husband and African American daughter.
I'm almost 40, I only saw this version once.
I remember watching this as a kid. It was one of the most heart warming feelings ever seeing a black princess.... A girl that looked like me 💓
Man, i missed this movie. A white man, and black woman having an Asian child may have been ridiculous to pitch to the big boss, but whoever did it, did it.
Omg my favorite Cinderella story
Ever, with an amazing multicultural cast
In my eyes the first black Disney princess
Anything is possible
And the first Asian Disney Prince
This Cinderella was everything. I loved it so much.🤗
It really was😩😭😭
Still miss you Whitney, thank you for sharing your gift and the memories-RIP xx
Paolo is still handsome as he was in 1997. 🥰 My friends and I saw him on Broadway for The King and I. What a beautiful voice! Look at him! He didn't age a bit! Truly, Asians don't raisin'. 😂🤣
We wore out our copy, too! Our absolute favorite Cinderella- stellar performances all-around. Amazing set design and costumes. We’re so white we’re practically see-through- and we thought the multicultural casting was a wonderful enriching update. This movie is for everts. Still love rewatching with my now-grown daughters ❤️❤️❤️
My life was like Cinderella. (Sort of). I had a “ball” before
I met my “Prince” Now I cook, clean, wash dishes,
do laundry, wait on my family. But, it’s my “happily
ever after.” Wouldn’t change a thing! Love Brandy
as Cinderella!
This was my favorite childhood film & I’m happy it’s finally on DisneyPlus
My parents bought this movie on VHS for me when l was 10 and l watched it so much, l wore it out! Now lm 26 and when it was released on Disney Plus, l nearly cried. I legit texted my friends and family and told them not to bother me cus l was gonna be watching this and didn't want to be interrupted lol. Since it came on Disney Plus, I've already watched it 4 times. Ahh, to be a young black girl then and being a young black woman now, seeing Brandy as Cinderella really resonated with me. Also, RIP Whitney Houston & Natalie Desselle!
I don't have it on VHS, but I own the DVD version and my daughter and I watched it countless times. Love that a new generation will have the opportunity to enjoy Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella.
)l0
))l)))))
Rip Whitney and Natalie
I was shocked about their deaths.
Oh no! 😢I didn’t realize that Natalie passed away back in December until now. I could’ve sworn that it didn’t happen, but sadly it did anyway. Rest well Natalie and Whitney!
A FAVORITE of mine and now my daughters.
I’m sooooo excited! This time I can watch it with 4 year old who thinks Cinderella is only white. Still a groundbreaking film! Priceless 💎
The 90s were the best they weren't perfect but, compared to every other decade they were the best.
I really liked how diverse the cast was.... it was really a change maker
Great to see you, Paolo!!!
I only knew about this version of Cinderella til I was around 7 years old lol I was obsessed with the songs. Then I finally saw the animated version
I cannot count how many times I watched that film when I was a little girl. It was the beautiful voices that captivated me at the time.
No joke. I used to love this movie and esp how different it was. I watched it over and over.
I've read so many different cultures' versions of Cinderella but this movie with its diverse casting and amazing vocals will never leave me. I did wear out my VHS lol, I try to find it with Korean subs to show my ESL students.
I loved this movie as child. I'm glad it's getting it's recognition it deserves.
I remember when this was first released and it was AMAZING then and it's certainly a golden treasure now. Every child should see this!!
I'm Soo excited. This was my favorite version of Cinderella growing up. Brandy was and still is my role model. I can't wait to watch it.
I literally just finished watching this. Still my favorite Cinderella.
They way they did this just worked so much
Favorite movie of all time. Still have the vhs tape.
I want to thank the makers of this film. I enjoyed it as s kid and it gave me great joy to WATCH it TOGETHER with my 2 year old daughter who can't get enough of it.
She can't fully understand it but she ALWAYS wants this version to any other Cinderella film.
Before the princess and the frog they was cinderella 1997
My daughter and I know ALL the songs by heart and almost every line. She grew up on that movie. Jason Alexander still has me cracking up with his employee grumbling, and then there's the wardrobe...OMG! Wore out my vhs & scratched my dvd. What u all know about "In my own little corner." Much love from T&T.
My daughter loves this Cinderella 💕
No one will ever sound like Whitney Houston..
True
I heard she died on Brandy Norwood's 33rd birthday. Some birthday for Brandy!
However, said tragedy remains entirely unrelated to the film's mandatory plot.
Oh yes this brings me back to my childhood. I don’t recall it being on the news or talked about much that Cinderella was black, but maybe I didn’t know since I was a child. I also didn’t think it was strange for Whoopi Goldberg to have an Asian son or for that Asian son to fall in love with a black girl. Someone pointed it out to me later that week and school and I thought, “oh.”
I was captured by the music and costumes in this movie... they were the best I had seen in my life at that point. I’m glad there were producers like her to make these decisions and children like me received the gifts of diversity without knowing, asking, or even thinking we needed it. We certainly did.
Where is my Asian hubby 😍 I had the biggest crush on this guy
I love Cinderella 1997 so much I’m so excited to see movie tomorrow
It's always been my favorite Cinderella movie ♡
I love this musical. It's so adaptable you could do so much with it and it would be great.
My childhood 🤧. This movie was well done
I LOVE 90'S
It was part of my childhood! I'm white but I loved seeing Brandy as Cinderella! I watched it last night and it's still amazing!
Me too i still know ever single song...I was a soft girl living in the hood and it was refreshing seeing a girl like me on screen dreaming and being gentle and dreaming about a better life. 😌
Little girls and LITTLE BOYS!! I remember this like it was yesterday. 🥰 Whitney was truly Brandy’s Idol, they literally have the SAME voice. I swear to bob, lower or deepen Whitney’s voice and it’s Brandy’s.
I loved this movie so much 😭❤
I remember watching this movie as a little kid and I still adore it to this day. I was crying when I watched it on Disney+ from all the wonderful memories that it stirred up. I will always love this movie and, one day, I will make sure my kids love it too 😄
I love this movie!!! I watched it so many times. It was nice to see a culture of people in this loved fairytale.
This is still my favourite. I remember watching it as a child and I never forgot it. Still watch it on CZcams from time to time and I'm in my 30s.
this was my favourite version of cinderella in my childhood, glad it's coming back
👍🏾
I want to get the soundtrack 💯
I still have it on VHS.
It was a wonderful production of Cinderella. What an incredible cast, costumes, and music.
One of the best live action cinderella film
What was awesome about this version of Cinderella was that it wasn’t typecasted and they got a mix of some of the biggest names on Broadway (victor garber, Bernadette peters), in pop music( Brandy, Whitney Houston) and in acting with Whoopie só they really had this crossing of genres in the movie that was just so cool
I remember this ! 💙
As soon as I knew it came on Disney plus I watched it n I remembered all the songs love love love this movie
Favorite version of Cinderella....no question
Once I seen todricks video of the melody of songs they sung. Then I got a notification from Disney plus I was like ooooooo y’all are so smart and immediately watched like I was a kid all over.
Hi. This version of Cinderella is available on CZcams for free. I’ve been watching it for years on here. The only downside is that since it’s free, they have ads every 30 min but its worth it
I remember seeing the show live for the first time and was kinda disappointed that the diversity wasn’t reflected on stage as well to be honest- I loved what they did with the movie so much and it holds a special place in my heart because that was the version I grew up on more so than the animated version
I love this movie
This is my three year olds favorite Cinderella! And mine I still have the VHS and bought it on dvd for her
I taped this from a Sunday night showing of Disney back in the day and have cherished my vhs of it ever since! The soundtrack is amazing and the characters are inspired.
I just loved the colors of the ball 💜💙
My most favorite Cinderella of all time
Pure magic
🙏🏿😭🕊⚘👑💫🌠 rest in peace Ms Whitney Houston rest in peace Ms Natalie Desselle we will always love always will be and ❤🙏🏿😭🕊⚘
Love you so much Brandy🙏🏿👏🏿😭🕊⚘👑💫🌠🎶🎵💖❤💙💚💛🧡💜👑💫🌠👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🌠😍😭😍😭
Robin's hair really look good longer! Beautiful.
R.I.P Natalie
Um, he still looks pretty much the same after this amount of time 😇😇
This was my childhood 😭😭😭 but how are they gonna do it without Whitney and Natalie
I was in 4th grade and loved this movie and grew up to love Whitney Houston so much
I teared up a little reminiscing about the first time I saw this. I always loved Cinderella, so to see a black girl playing her was a special kind of magical for me.
🖤 👩🏽✨
Oh I loved this version so much when I was a kid!!
I would also like to point out another Asian Black relationship movie that stars Dante Basco in Fakin' da Funk (1997) movie where it's about an Asian baby adopted by the Black parents played by Ernie Hudson and Pam Grier
Yessssssss! 💖
I loved this movie growing up. I
