Seen on ABC's Wonderful World of Disney, this $12-million production is the only musical Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote for television. The CBS-TV original, with 21-year-old Julie Andrews in the title role and Edie Adams as the Fairy Godmother, played on live television March 31, 1957 to TV's largest audience ever to that date (107-million viewers). That historic production, captured on kinescope, can still be seen today on library monitors at the Museum of Television & Radio in New York and Los Angeles. Hammerstein died in 1960 and did not get to see 18-year-old Lesley Ann Warren as Cinderella in the February 22, 1965 restaged production, repeated annually on CBS until 1977 and later made available on videotape from CBS/Fox Video and Facets Multimedia. Added to the 1965 show was "Loneliness of Evening", a song actually written for South Pacific but cut before the Broadway opening. Running a half-hour longer, this third interpretation premiered November 2, 1997. Filmed over a 28-day period, it stars Brandy Norwood as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as the Fairy Godmother, with Bernadette Peters as the Stepmother, Whoopi Goldberg as the Queen (wearing $60 million worth of borrowed Harry Winston jewelry), Paolo Montalban as the Prince, and Jason Alexander as the Prince's steward, Lionel. Scripter Robert L. Freedman provided a rewrite of the original Oscar Hammerstein book, and three other Richard Rodgers songs were added to the existing score: "There's Music in You" (from the 1953 movie musical Main Street to Broadway), "The Sweetest Sounds" (a Brandy/Montalban duet), and "Falling in Love with Love". Originally set in motion as a follow-up to the highly successful TV Gypsy (1993) with Bette Midler, this 1997 multicultural version (sometimes referred to as the "rainbow Cinderella") was years in the making, since it was initiated in 1994 when Houston joined executive producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron (the team responsible for the TV Gypsy).

Fun version of Cinderella

I had seen this when it originally aired on TV. My daughter and I loved it so I wanted to have it in my personal collection. After watching it again, I decided it was a good decision.
The acting and the cast are fun to watch. The colors and costumes are brilliant. Worth the purchase.

Great music but getting CD out, was the challenge.

This was a gift to my husband. He has enjoyed it and we look forward to watching the DVD.
My only problem was getting the CD out of the case. The CD was being held in so tight I was fearful of breaking the CD. We did get it out in the end. :D

Has subtitles on Extra features!

In the past I have been frustrated with buying a DVD that is subtitled but only for the main attraction. Happily, with this DVD they have subtitles on all the extras so I don't have to turn the volume up extra loud and chase my family out of the livingroom.

Animation fans have been waiting patiently (or in some cases not so patiently) for Warner Home Video to release their library of classic cartoons on DVD, and with this set, Warners does a lot of catching up fast -- Looney Tunes: The Golden Collection collects 56 vintage animated shorts along with a sizable bounty of extras. The cartoons have been transferred to disc in their original full-frame aspect ratio of 1.33:1, and the transfers are uniformly excellent, sharp enough to reveal the paint strokes on the animation cels, and overflowing with gloriously bright Technicolor. The audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Mono, and these results are equally impressive, with the musical scores of Carl Stalling and Milt Franklyn sounding just as well detailed as they deserve. Along with the original English-language soundtracks, alternate dubbed versions in French are included, as well as optional subtitles in English, French, and Spanish. Each of the four discs in this package has been stuffed with extras. Twenty-six of the cartoons feature commentary tracks, mostly from film historians Michael Barrier and Greg Ford, though Stan Freberg, who did voice work for the Warners animation studio, also contributes. Additionally, several of Barrier's commentaries are enhanced with audio clips from interviews with Chuck Jones and Friz Freleng, who directed many of the cartoons included. A dozen cartoons also feature optional music-only audio tracks for those who wish to study Carl Stalling's work more closely. Each disc features several "Behind the Tunes" featurettes, entertaining short tributes to particular characters or members of the Looney Tunes creative team. Two longer documentaries are also included -- The Boys From Termite Terrace, a 1975 television special which looks back at the Warners animation department and includes interviews with many of the major creative figures involved, and Irreverent Imaginations: The Golden Age of Looney Tunes, a new documentary that offers more polish and some rare footage, but lacks the first-person perspective of Termite Terrace. Another bonus featurette, Toon Heads: The Lost Cartoons, is a Cartoon Network special which features rare and little-seen productions from the Warners animation department (though, sadly, most are shown in edited form). Still more odds and ends fill out the package: a new cartoon which serves as a mock blooper reel for a Looney Tunes reunion; clips from the bridging sequences created for the television series The Bugs Bunny Show; animated numbers featuring Bugs Bunny from two Warner Bros. musicals, My Dream Is Yours and Two Guys From Texas; audio clips from voice artist Mel Blanc's recording sessions; pencil tests and schematic artwork for three titles; galleries of rare lobby cards, character sheets, and background artwork; trailers for feature-length collections of classic cartoons; and one of the earliest Warner Bros. cartoons, Bosco, The Talk-Ink Kid. If this set has a flaw, it's what's not here rather than what is. A number of classic titles discussed at length in The Boys From Termite Terrace and Irreverent Imaginations don't appear here, most notably What's Opera, Doc? and One Froggy Evening; at the same time, Chuck Jones' Road Runner cartoons, arguably among his finest work, are represented by a single cartoon while Bugs Bunny thoroughly dominates the proceedings. But what is included is generally quite strong, and there's no arguing with the quality of the presentation; Looney Tunes: The Golden Collection certainly gets Warner Bros. series of classic cartoon releases on DVD off to a rousing start.

We have been looking for the Looney Tunes "Overture to Disaster" on DVD. Unfortunately that title is still only on VHS, not DVD. So I resorted to finding the titles the particular toons I wanted and found Volume 1.
We are very happy to have it finally on DVD.

As I am a klutz, I purchased the protection and had it placed there in the store. When I have bumped my Fitbit against things i have not noticed any scratches or damage. I am very happy with the screen protector.

Pocket free at last!

I really like my Fitbit. I started out with them 5 years ago I believe. My first 2 Fitbits I kept in my pocket but was always fearful of forgetting and sending the Fitbit through the wash.
I now have the HR 2. It is very nice to be able to just turn my wrist to check how many steps I have at any given time or just to check the time of day. I like that it gives me approximations of my heart rate and calorie burn too.
I work as an interpreter (sign language) so I had to make adjustments as I was getting steps for signing. That first day I had 15,000 steps by dinner; a normal day would be 8,000. I now wear the fitbit on my non-dominant hand, label myself lefty in the settings, and upped my step target.

I bought a Fitbit HR2 at Best Buy. I am a bit of a klutz so I wanted to purchase and have a screen protector in place immediately. Since I am a klutz I didn't want to do it myself. The young man helping me was great. He cleaned and then placed the cover on carefully and without a complaint.
I wish I would have written down his name so I could tell Best Buy and compliment them on a well trained employee.

Packaging was a pain.

Once I got to the paper I was fine. Trying to open the package itself was not great. I did not want to use scissors and possibly wreck the paper inside so I looked to pull the seams open. Never was a problem before today. Every seem was glued flat shut. Nothing to grab at and pull open.

I like it a lot. It counts the hours of sleep I get in a night. It even shows how restless I might be during the night.
