All of these elements make watching or re-watching the film incredible, but a deeper look reveals a main reason why it was enchanting to begin with: The whole film is refreshingly diverse.。 The two most important female roles are black and that's remarkable in itself but, even beyond that, despite taking place in the past, there is a black queen and and a white husband ruling a kingdom who happen to have a Filipino son.

The negative impact on repeatedly seeing characters that look nothing like you as a child takes a certain toll, so to see Whitney, Brandy and Whoopi—rocking their curls, braids and locs—and a whole world within the television that accurately reflected the diversity of communities tuned in felt revolutionary.。As a young girl who consumed your average amount of movies, seeing Brandy as Cinderella on screen was groundbreaking. I had grown up in a time where future Disney characters like Tiana did not exist and the reason why didn't cross my mind—until this。

Seeing a princess with box braids like mine and a fairy godmother like Whitney, who could have been my own mother or any one of my aunties, gave me and girls who looked like me a glimpse at an early age of why it is necessary to demand representation of all types of people playing all times of roles in films. 。Sure, it may not have had the most outstanding dialogue or special effects but regardless, there were high standards set with。
