Time has clearly frozen still for Brandy and most of the cast of the 1997 remake of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s ‘Cinderella.’  No further proof of that is needed than the dazzling tribute medley the GRAMMY winner unveiled on her 42nd birthday (which coincides with the classic TV film’s long-awaited premiere on Disney+).

Revisiting some of the movie’s most beloved tunes and costumes, B-Rocka seemingly stepped in a time machine as she looked every bit the young Disney princess she portrayed nearly 25 years ago in the Whitney Houston-led small screen flick.

Reassembling other high profile cast mates for the 2021 tribute (including EMMY, GRAMMY, OSCAR, and TONY-award winner Whoopi Goldberg, TONY award winner Bernadette Peters, Jason Alexander, and more), look inside to see the epic updated action.
