Cinderella

I fell in love with Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella http://www.amazon.com/Rodgers-Hammersteins-Cinderella-Lesley-Warren/dp/B00005RYKY the first time I viewed it.  I must have been in high school. But even now, some forty plus years later, I still love the musical.  I actually have found myself singing some of the songs in the last couple of days. 

Amazingly, tonight, I found it on BET: a different version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella:  http://www.amazon.com/Rodgers-Hammersteins-Cinderella-Brandy-Norwood/dp/B00004Z4SE.  I had no idea this was remade in1997.  But, it is just as wonderful and magical as the original, in its own way. The colors were so much more vibrant and dramatic than the 1965 version, which seemed to have much more etherial hues.   Both were fun to watch.  Such good fantasy.
