Very Good
When taking the age of the product into consideration, this was very good. The case was like brand new and care had also been taken to ensure that bubble wrap was put inside the case aswell.

FUN!!
This has to be one of my favourite films! The music is great as well as the dancing and acting!! It maybe cheesey but I would'nt expect anything else from disney! Ive watched this film millions of times and I still love it! The king is white, the queen is black and thier son (the prince) is japanese!!! Fantastic!! Great old disney works its magic again!

Brilliant!
I caught this showing on the Disney Channel a while ago and encouraged my 5 year old daughter to watch it rather than those repetitive children's programmes. She was entranced! The cast of different races is so refreshing and is great to see in a Disney movie (I am black carribean myself). Since then, we check when it's due to come on again and sit down to watch it. The cast has some fantastic singers, including Whitney Houston - one of the best. I'm so glad I can now buy the DVD rather than hoping to see it again on TV. A great family film!

A colourful feast for the eyes and ears!
This Cinderella movie is fantastic! Everyone knows the story but the casting and amazing singing voices sets this apart from all other Cinderella movies. It reminds me of an old-style MGM musical, but the colours are much more vivid. Brandy, Witney Houston, the Prince, Whoopy Goldberg as the Queen, the stepmother and the hilarious ugly stepsisters all shine in their roles. And I like the fact that race doesn't matter in this movie! The songs are catchy and won't get out of your head. A great family film!

Lots of fun, but it's best to watch it more than once
This movie really grows on you. The first time I saw it I enjoyed it, but I wasn't overly rapt. However, I couldn't get the songs out of my head and decided to watch it again - BAM! I fell in love with it just like that. I ended up watching it four times in less than six days and I still can't get enough of the music. The acting and sets are pretty good too, once you get over the fact that colour means nothing to these people - people, costumes and sets alike are as vivid as a rainbow. Watch it - it's good, you just need to gain an appreciation for it (and, just as an asside, Paolo Montalban can sweep me off my feet any time he wants to. Casting him as the prince was an absolute coup!)
