Cinderella (1997) on Disney Plus!

[merprincess]

This is kinda random but I wanted to share that I'm very excited about the Disney Plus re-release on February 12th of the 1997 made-for-TV musical film of Cinderella starring Brandy and Whitney Houston! This film paved the way for more diverse and transcendent casting on Broadway and at Disney - without Brandy as Cinderella, we wouldn't have Halle Bailey as Ariel! Rob Marshall who was the choreographer of this film is directing the new live action adaptation of The Little Mermaid with Halle as Ariel! If you haven't seen this version of Cinderella you simply must- the music is beautiful, the sets are iconic, the costumes are lavish, the characters are fantastic, the dancing is gorgeous, it's all around a really well done film. I'm hoping with this new re-release that we'll finally get an official release of the soundtrack, as it never got released due to a feud within both Brandy and Whitney Houston's record labels - you would hope something like that would be overlooked in 2021, unfortunately Whitney passed away in 2012 but maybe these record labels will finally reach some agreement years later.

And more info about why there was never an official soundtrack album released. I really think they could easily release it once the film is on Disney Plus!
