Some of the best are by Rogers and Hammerstein! Many are available online on DVD for rent and for sale.
One of my favorite versions has one of my favorite actresses in 1957 in one of here earliest parts: Julie Andrews, even before Sound of Music! This was broadcast on TV Live in color, and thought to be lost, but found in black and white and produced on DVD today. Really a must see.
Next it was produced with Leslie Ann Warren in 1965. Then, finally in 1997 with Brandy Norwood as Cinderella, and Whoopi Golberg. Of course there is the cartoon versions, including Disney's 1950 movie now considered a classic, that has been followed by 2 direct to video sequels: Cinderella II: Dreams Come True in 2002, and Cinderella II: A twist in Time in 2007.
All of these movies are good to do in a series of nostalgia with the kids, especially this time of year, but please search out some of the original classics. The music is phenomenal and inspirational. As I piece together more info I will try to add to this blog. As you watch them please check back and leave some comments for others.
Thanks for looking!
