I don't care what anyone else says, I ADORE this movie:)! I believe the multi-racial cast adds to the timelessness of Cinderella. I know when I was little, being Jamaican- American always wondered why all the characters were white so imagined them as different races every time, and that's my favourite part of this rendition.

Now Brandy is not my favourite singer, but I thought she played this part beautifully. Granted it took some getting used to but I ended up loving her. Paolo Montalban is absolutely MAGNIFICENT:)! I would think an Filipino prince would be laughable, but it added to the unity of race of the movie. Ahh and his voice made me wish he would serenade me! As for Whitney Houston, she did bring a certain something to the previously played down role of the godmother and I do love her voice. The song "impossible" is probably in my top three favourite songs. Bernardette Peters definitely a good choice for the stepmother, a diva in a stuck-up role is ideal. Whooping Goldberg and Victor Garber had amazing chemistry as the queen and king, i thought they were wonderful. Jason Alexander was amazing comic relief in the story and I love his accent he used. The step sisters were equally funny.

The music was AMAZING:)! Whenever I watch this movie(which is often(:) I cannot stop singing the songs and singing along. They were constantly entertaining and fun to watch, including the choreography that went along with it.

This is by far one of my favourite movies, ever.:)
