Cinderella

In 1997 Disney released this race-friendly musical retelling of the clasic tale directed by Robert Iscove and starring Brandy Norwood, Bernadette Peters, Paolo Montalban and Whoopi Goldberg.
I believe you all know the story of a beautiful and tender girl whose stepmother forces into working for her and her evil stepsisters as a maid and who ends up falling in love with the prince during a ball. She looses a shoe and he looses his mind. And everybody ends living happilly ever after. 

Well there isn't much to say about this other than it completly ignores the genetic - at least where the Prince's Family is concerned and that even though it starts off ok, the levels of corniness reach a level towards the midle of it, that turns watching this into a BIG torture. 

It's actually your typical Disney Channel movie, with a load of mache and shinny  props and over-the-top dresses that don't contemplate the era in which this is supposed to be. The songs suck... most of the time, but you have to give the actors credit, they don't sing badly.

If you feel the urge to puke rainbows you can check this out in youtube. Some people have posted it whole in one single one and a half hour video that will make you wish to cut your eyes out or go in a killing spree.
