Cinderella

The 1997 television adaptation of "Cinderella," starring Brandy Norwood as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as the Fairy Godmother, was a highly anticipated event when it premiered on ABC. Its release was notable for its diverse casting and contemporary take on the classic fairy tale. Initial reception was generally positive, with praise for the performances, particularly Whitney Houston's dual role as executive producer and Fairy Godmother, as well as for its fresh approach and inclusive casting.

Over time, the film has gained a dedicated fan base and is often regarded as a beloved adaptation for bringing a modern, multicultural perspective to the traditional story. It is frequently celebrated for its cultural significance and the uplifting performances of its cast. Rather than being viewed as a dated relic, it is considered a cherished classic and, by some, an underrated gem that continues to resonate with audiences seeking a more diverse representation in fairy tales.
