After performing Rodger and Hammerstein's version of Cinderella, I decided to watch the movie to see what Disney had done with the masterpiece. What I saw was not a pleasant surprise. It was overdone. All overdone. A main point that was made in the play was that Godmother was not known to be magical, and that everything that Cinderella was dreaming would never come true. After seeing Whitney Houston, we know that point was never made. Whitney Houston was as fairy godmothery as she could get. I was also disappointed with the new songs added to the movie. I was in fact, rather glad that most of the originals were there. If you are looking for a Rodgers and Hammerstein piece, I don't recommend this one, but if you have children who love musicals with everything overdone, it is great.
