According to announcements made by Disney, the movie will arrive at the stroke of midnight on February 12. Brandy who had asked Disney to pick up the rights for the film last year announced the news on The View on Thursday along with Whoopi Goldberg who had starred in the movie as well and portrayed the role of Queen Constantina. Goldberg teased, It’s pretty remarkable that people have been begging for ‘Cinderella’ to be re-released for almost 24 years. I mean, what do you think, is it possible?”

From Playhouse on Park: Noël Coward s second act of PRIVATE LIVES speaks to us in a new way with Elyot and Amanda sequestered from the outside world, and finding a lot of time to fill up together. In this very funny and moving adaptation developed by stars Veanne Cox and Ezra Barnes (specifically for Playhouse on Park), these two lovers grapple with hope and fear, memory and desire, song and dance, and love and hate in equal measure.
The View, Brandy also makes the announcement alongside her
Cinderella co-star Whoopi Goldberg. The two stars reflected on Brandy’s groundbreaking role as the first Black princess.
“It meant everything to me because first of all, I got to work with my childhood idols, Whitney Houston, Whoopi Goldberg, Bernadette Peters,” she said. “The impact that it had on me and the lives of so many families and girls that look like me, it was just unbelievable. Looking back, I can now share this with my daughter and watch it.”
