Nope there wasn’t no controversies, it was actually accepted and is a fan favorite. The public really fell in love with Prince Christopher aka Paolo Montalban. It’s such a shame that Hollywood never really gave him the proper exposure or opportunities compared to other actors.
Some fun facts: The Prince actor had a crush on Brandy that's why you could feel the beautiful chemistry. Brandy's look later inspired Tiana's look in the Princess and the Frog! Oh and a little edit: Ye, Disney did not care for this movie so that meant not much effort was put into set design but still they put their soul in this
Are you sure about that last bit? the 1965 version of the musical had a very similar vibe to the set, designed to look like stage sets. This version does the same. I'm pretty sure it's intentional and these are heavily designed sets, practical sets all built for the film with a lot of detail and that staged theatre style. The sets, costumes and props are vibrant and distinct. I wouldn't call that low effort. Maybe low budget sure, but not low effort.
This movie actually wasn’t controversial when it came out. This film launched ABC’s Wonderful World of Disney initiative with high viewership and they sold A LOT of VHS tapes.
The film wasn't controversial because there was literally nothing to be controversial about. It wasn't a remake and it wasn't based on the fairy tale itself. The Little Mermaid (2023) had no such circumstances.
@@0deadx21 First of all, it WAS a remake. The original was in the 50’s with Julie Andrews. It was then remade in the 60’s before the Brandy/Whitney version. Secondly, what do you mean by “not based on the actual fairytale?” The Cinderella fairytale is about a girl who is mistreated by her stepmom and stepsisters until her fairy godmother gives her a beautiful dress, a pumpkin carriage, a glass slipper and a chance to go to the prince’s ball. The prince falls in love with her, marries her and she is saved from her unfair treatment. This is exactly what this movie is.
@@stefannydvorak7919 It wasn't a remake, it was just another adaptation. They can do another one and cast whoever they want, and no one would be making a fuss.
@@stefannydvorak7919 I know 3 versions of _R&H Cinderella_ exist. All of them are just your average run-of-the-mill Cinderella movie. Things just happen. It's just a Cinderella movie that happens, with no stakes, no importance, no weight. I don't remember the dialogue, but who actually does?
I actually love the costumes in this movie. It actually wasn’t a low budget. It was the most expensive made-for-TV movie at the time I believe costing over $11 mil. You might not recognize the actor playing the prince (Paulo) because he mostly does stage acting. Also, because it’s made-for-TV it was short because of all the commercial breaks.
I loved the set. I don't see the set as cheezy or cheap. I think it was done to reflect a cartoonish tone because it was a fantasy. I really love the set because it's so whimsical and it really seems like it's a magical place.
I never heard anything about controversies about this film from the public, and I remember watching this when it debuted. (And i watched it pretty much every time it aired.😅)
I love how they actually wanted Whitney to play Cinderella but she knew Brandy would be perfect for the role Actually, I think Whitney was Brandy's mentor. Watching the behind the scenes of this movie shows their dynamic and it's so cute
You wanna know what's cool? This movie was NOT controversial! This was just another version of Cinderella, nobody ever questioned the races of the characters because the makers never pointed it out or made a big thing of it, the cast the people they wanted, the people woth great characters and great voices. It wasn't a remake, a redo, the prince isn't adopted, he is the biological son of that King and Queen, and nobody had a problem with it because they didn't tell us we should. Refreshing, isn't it?
This seems like a Broadway musical with the stage sets and choreo because it actually is that type of medium, but made for TV. It’s not a regular movie.
According to ModernGurlz, the budget was 12 million dollars and Whitney financed some of it. I still say the set makes me feel like it's a storybook come to life. I adore it.
This is one of the fakest-looking movies even made. The locations look like obvious sets and not at all like real, believable places, and almost all the costumes are so random and incoherent that they're forgettable. It's like I'm watching actors on a set, and that's not helped by their dialogue and personalities. The 2015 film is the one that looks like a fairy tale came to life, because everything onscreen looked beautiful, real and believable.
@@0deadx21😅 it's not made to look like a movie 🙄 it's made to look like Broadway Musical for TV on Purpose, like when H.E.R played Belle for Beauty and The Beast 😅
Honestly my fav Disney movie! Like you said, in the 90's so diverse! Also some of the writing is just so good! Not to mention the actors! Bernadette Peters grand Broadway Star!
You were dead wrong about the Karens, back in the 90's Brandy was pretty much universally beloved. There was some skepticism of course, but that was on Disney's part NOT the audience. You have to remember at the time Brandy was everywhere, her music sold like crazy, and her tv series Moesha dominated. (It actually got a spin-off called the Parker's) by the time this debuted, Cinderella was the highest-rated original for ABC, and Brandy herself was pretty much the gold standard for Cinderella. (Even Lily James can't hold a candle and we all know how popular her version is!) In fact, it goes without saying Tiana absolutely owes her existence to Brandy! As for the Little Mermaid, presentation is everything, Whilst promoting Cinderella Brandy presented herself as sweet, humble, gracious, and appreciative for the opportunity. Audiences reacted positively to this vibe and were happy to give her a chance. In contrast, when promoting LM, Halle came off as an arrogant diva, full of herself, (if not outright entitled to the world's money), something that turned enough of her potential audience away. Especially overseas, where humility and social grace are considered important virtues. (The dark, murky terrible cgi did her movie no favors either, but this isn't about that) My point is that though It may not seem like it should be a factor, at the end of the day, personality does matter.
Also, there’s 4 versions of Rodger and Hammerstein’s Cinderella. The first one was back in 1957 tv musical special where THE JULIE ANDREWS played Cinderella. Then they recasted and had another version in 1965 with Lesly Ann Warren as Cinderella. Then the Whitney and Brandy version in 1997, which resulted to a 2013 Broadway version. So yes same plot as Cinderella, but different take as well different music. I like that in this version the Prince and Cinderella met earlier on and made a connection already before the ball. Also, it’s good to get to know Prince Christopher and see his personality and dynamics with his parents as well as his opinions/perspective on things. 👍
I think that since Disney didn't believe in the project they just left it to sink or swim on its own. Cast: Superb! Diversity is great and the talent is just perfect. Stepsisters are wonderful, Bernadette Peters is just great as the evil Stepmother. Royal Family is just funny and Jason Alexander is excellent. So, I know so many people watched it when it came out, I definitely did and just loved it!
In the R&H version of Cinderella, the stepmother and stepsisters are not overly mean. They even gave Bernadette Peters more lines to make her meaner and “cut” Cinderella down more. That whole declaration of her being common and her dad being weak was not in the 1957 and 1965 version. Ever After will always be my ultimate, but I quite enjoy this version very much.
Bernadette Peters, of course, is a Broadway legend. If you're going to cast somebody of that calibre, you're obviously going to beef up the part a little, and they did, even interpolating a song for her ("Falling in Love with Love," written by Rodgers with his first lyric-writing partner, Lorenz Hart).
Lovely reaction :) I've watched this movie 2-3 times a year since it came out back in '97 & now as an adult I attend the Broadway show anytime its near my town. Definitely one of my favorites and I can now sing every one of the songs lol. I love how this movie literally looks like we are watching a Broadway show with all the ridiculous and colorful sets and clothes! Plus hail Whitney Houston !!
Unfortunately we don’t have an album for this movie yet. There were issues between Whitney’s and Brandy’s record labels. Hopefully we’ll get one someday. For now, you can probably find a playlist on RUclips.
This Cinderella, the 1996 Pinocchio with Jonathan Taylor Thomas, and the 1994 Jungle Book with Jason Scott Lee were my go to 90's off-brand Disney movies. They all had such charm, and the casts in all of them were just stellar. 😙👌
Apparently, an executive at Disney wanted anyone else but Brandy to play Cinderella. They did not believe Cinderella should be played by a black girl. That executive wanted them to hire the singer Jewel instead. Whitney Houston and the other people in charge of making the movie refused and wanted Brandy and only Brandy. That executive was not happy. Eventually, they ran out of money and were almost done filming the movie. They were asking for more money to pay for the extras at the wedding scene, but the same executive gave them the run around and eventually refused when they asked. So Whoopi Goldberg gave them money for the rest of the extras. They still refused so the producers paid them with their own money instead. They were not able to get Whitney to film her last parts in person so that's why they had to green screen her into the movie at the end. Whitney always wanted a soundtrack to be made of the movie, but she never got the chance to see it happen. The soundtrack issue had to do with Whitney and Brandy's record labels, though not disney. I hope they will release the soundtrack someday.
Also, Whitney was originally supposed to play Cinderella, but Whitney felt that she was too old to play the role so she recommended Brandy. Brandy said that she will only accept the role if Whitney played as her fairy Godmother
I don’t know how anyone missed this unless they were around horrible people I was in Elementary school when it premiered and everyone was talking about it and the promo was on for a month like couldn’t wait for it to come on
This is one of my favorite because it was a black princess! I felt like an ugly step sister when I watched but now I feel I grew up to look more like Brandy? ( tall, skinny. Round face.) I love this movie
The "failed love" that the stepmother sings about: I always took it as her own daughters' father walked out on her when her found out she was pregnant. How that tracks with the clearly white Calyopy and the obviously African American Minerva, I still don't know. Chalk it up to the same logic that says that and old white man and Woopie Goldberg produced an Asian son.
This film is so color blind that it's assumed that both daughters is the stepmother's biological children because other than that is no real way to explain why the stepmother has that much hate over Cinderella unless she was jealous of her for her beauty and talent or maybe she saw something in her that just made her disliker there's no real reason other than her not being her true daughter if the stepmother was capable of adopting or fostering other children like the black sister then it would have been no reason for her to hate Cinderella that much. And all the original stories that's Cinderella house that's Cinderella father's house the mother only has it because naturally she married the father for the died mysteriously go figure almost immediately after marrying the stepmom and they moving in and they treat Cinderella is a servant slave in her own house that's how meek and just how much low self-esteem Cinderella had to the point where she didn't even speak up about hey this is my father's house well this is my house you know it's kind of like Snow White that was Snow White's castle that the evil stepmother have her like a serving as well.
Sorry but I disagree a lot with your opinions on the set design and the ball gowns. I think both the costumes and set designs are beautiful and also quite magical!
I feel like she keep saying “I know it’s 90s” then go on and knock almost everything about it Its a kids movie - and it’s a classic!!!!! Ion see how she can say anything negative about it
Thank you for this amazing reaction! I grew up watching this and in my junior year we performed this version of the stage musical! I was King Maximilian and our cast was diverse as well. Like this film, we had a diverse cast; Cinderella, Stepmother, Lionel, Queen and I were white and Prince Christopher, Fairy Godmother, Joy and Grace (Stepsisters) were colored. Brandy and Paolo are set to reprise their roles Queen Cinderella and King Charming in the upcoming sequel Disney’s Descendants: The Rise of Red! 👠✨🕰💙💜💛🤍
The song the Stepmother sings isn't in the original Broadway show. She doesn't have any depth at all in the original lol also, the idea of changing the "original" race of a character being super controversial is a lot worse now than it was back then (not to say it didn't happen).
Fun fact and if this is already been shared, I apologize but this adaptation of Cinderella is an adaptation of the 1957 Rogers and Hammerstein television production starting Julie Andrews, which was later turned into a Broadway play. This has nothing to do with Disney. I mean it’s still a lovely interpretation of Cinderella please don’t get me wrong. I’m just saying this isn’t Disney.
Fun fact: Milan in Italy is the home of La Scala, one of the most renowned opera houses in the world. So when Rogers & Hammerstein have her sing of being "the greatest prima donna in Milan", no, it was not just to rhyme with Japan. The Queen-- my take is that she wants him to get married. Period. Therefore, if the Prince is fixated on a woman who has disappeared and cannot be found... yes, she is going to urge him to give her up so he will settle down with someone else here and now, rather than chasing around indefinitely after a dream which may or may not be realizable.
That was not the kiss,,,,,you missed something in your version, the prince kissed hee on the forehead....I am glad you like it.....but your generation is showing.......I am 79 so we are seeing the same film from a different age.
“I wanna shoot my step mom “ 😂😂😂 so relatable Edit: I wonder if they just kept the whole Cinderella’s dad died but the marriage was about money anyway not love on the stepmoms part maybe so maybe that’s just her genuine personality to be a gold digger
Last comment- checked to see what Emmys this movie won. According to Wikipedia, this movie won an Emmy for art direction, which according to the Internet, includes movie sets. I'm not surprised as the setting makes one feel like they are in the middle of a fantasy. You got it totally wrong. Next time try getting some facts before you claim discrimination. Good luck.
So you think the same type of people who have a problem with a black Ariel NOW suddenly just didn’t exist 20 years ago? That’s some frightening ignorance. There are many movies/shows that won awards and are amazing that terrible people still would fight against because of something as simple and crucial as diversity. Literally look at all the shows now including diversity that groups of racists are doing their best to dismantle with comments & reviews. Just because the same tech tools didn’t exist in the 90’s doesn’t mean racism didn’t exist. You were just probably less aware of it in your circles which leads to you making this uneducated comment today.
The 90s, it's supposed to be a fantasy land, in a fantasy place and time. Not the 1990's, maybe fictional, fantasy 1790's...lol!😂 This is Rogers and Hammerstein's Disney Theater at its best.
I absolutely love the outfits one of my favorite things about it besides the handsome prince and the beautiful Brandy is the clothing all the outfits . I absolutely love the world they live in

I believe this movie was on Broadway before and the prince palyed the same role on stage and that's why they picked him
10 minutes ago is my fav R&H piece ever
"...with the dust of the stars in her eyes"

Therefore, if the Prince is fixated on a woman who has disappeared and cannot be found... yes, she is going to urge him to give her up so he will settle down with someone else here and now, rather than chasing around indefinitely after a dream which may or may not be realizable.
Great movie and glad you watched this! It's a masterpiece
It will always baffle me how the prince never remembers what she looks like lol
Am I the only one who was waiting for Lionel to smash his face into the cake during "The Prince is Giving a Ball"?
im sorry but the styling is literally everything!
Have you ever seen The Slipper and the Rose? It's a lesser known Cinderella film. But one of my favorite ones along with this one!
I have not! I'll have to look into it! Thanks for the recommend👍
Yes I saw it...but dancing on top of cripts? Throwing the glass show out the window? Weird movie.
With songs by the Sherman Brothers, of *Mary Poppins* and *Chitty Chitty Bang Bang* fame.
It was good ❤
That was not the kiss,,,,,you missed something in your version, the prince kissed hee on the forehead....I am glad you like it.....but your generation is showing.......I am 79 so we are seeing the same film from a different age.
This is easily the best Cinderella. My mom thinks that the Leslie Ann Warren version is better, but she's wrong.
“I wanna shoot my step mom “ 😂😂😂 so relatable
Edit: I wonder if they just kept the whole Cinderella’s dad died but the marriage was about money anyway not love on the stepmoms part maybe so maybe that’s just her genuine personality to be a gold digger

Literally look at all the shows now including diversity that groups of racists are doing their best to dismantle with comments & reviews. Just because the same tech tools didn’t exist in the 90’s doesn’t mean racism didn’t exist. You were just probably less aware of it in your circles which leads to you making this uneducated comment today.
The 90s, it's supposed to be a fantasy land, in a fantasy place and time. Not the 1990's, maybe fictional, fantasy 1790's...lol!😂
This is Rogers and Hammerstein's Disney Theater at its best.
