Brandy to Return to Cinderella Role in Disney+ Descendants Prequel The Pocketwatch

"Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella" recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, and Disney+ released a reunion special featuring much of the cast and crew, including Brandy, Paolo Montalban , Bernadette Peters, Whoopi Goldberg, Victor Garber, Jason Alexandre and Veanne Cox. The special also featured never-before-seen footage of Brandy and the late great Whitney Houston in the recording studio, and behind-the-scenes interviews with The Voice herself expressing how important it was for her to be in the film. /p>

Brandy will join previously announced cast including Rita Ora as Queen of Hearts, China Anne McClain as Ursula's daughter Uma, Dara Reneé as Ursula's sister, Ulyana, Ruby Rose Turner as Bridget, the younger version of the Queen of Hearts, Morgan Dudley as Ella, the younger version of Cinderella, Joshua Colley as Hook, and Melanie Paxson as the fairy godmother.

"The Descendents" franchise is hugely popular with today's young legion of Disney fans, and the racially diverse cast has been a major factor in the series' success. It's only fitting that Brandy returns as Cinderella, because the series certainly wouldn't exist without the success of "Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella" in 1997. All that remains is to wait patiently for the possible return of Paolo Montalban as Prince Charming. Give us our dreamboat Filipino prince!
