After growing up and wearing out the video of Lesley Ann Warren playing Cinderella, I couldn't wait to see this one. Only to see that they ruined a beautiful play. The multicultural part was good. But adding songs and Brandi's whinny, nasal voice cannot be compared to Lesley Ann Warren's or especially Julie Andrew's. I have not seen this movie since it first aired on television. A couple of months ago it was on again, I tried to watch and give it a second chance, I didn't make it through the first 1/2 hour. If they would have found someone to play Cinderella who had a more full and trained voice I could have enjoyed it. If you liked this play, watch the older versions and you will see what I mean. As I have kids of my own I will have them watch the older versions and avoid the 1997 version all together. I do not want them to be tainted with something so awful when their minds could be enlightened.
