One last annoying singalong before adulthood.
Because at one point I was face first into the blinds in my house and okay with it.
(This means they all have to come to New York >.>
The entirety of OMTA.)
In all this Whitney reminiscing, no one is talking about the best Wonderful World of Disney movie ever made.
(No, seriously. The best one. I watch this on DVD a good five times a year.)
—“Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella,” based on the 1957 television musical starring Julie Andrews, will be reconceived with the intent of bringing it to Broadway in 2012.
Staring Brandy and Whitney Housten, please, and keeping in Falling In Love With Love, even though I think it’s from Pal Joey.
Thanks.

“Impossible” from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella (1997)
Now I know this isn’t the Disney film most people think of when they hear “Cinderella”, but it is a Disney production nonetheless, and that is incredibly important. It premiered on ABC as a made-for-TV film and became the #1 show of the week with over 60 million viewers. It was nominated for several Emmy’s and won for Outstanding Art Direction (for a Variety or Music Program).
But what makes Cinderella truly special is its ethnically-diverse cast. The film stars African-American singer Brandi is its titular role, and Whitney Houston, its producer, as her Fairy Godmother. Paolo Montalban is a Prince born to a black Queen (Whoopi Goldberg) and a white King (Victor Garber). Thanks to its color-blind cast, Cinderella has proved to millions of children and even adults that fairytales can still be magical, no matter what the prince and princess look like.
AKA, the only version of Cinderella I acknowledge.
