I think there exists in the human psyche a child filter with your child eyes. Even though you could be looking at something a bit by ratchet and I'm like, whatever. You just see this. It's almost like Vaseline on the lens. The prints in Sleeping Beauty, he just kind of looks like the prints in the little mermaids. Eric is very attractive. Er, attractive. Tarzan, like now if I think about it, I'm like,. oh I love this. Are you Hercules? Yes. Okay.
Novelist Ore Agbaje-Williams joins us for a childhood favourite that almost threatens to fall down behind the couch: the straight-to-video Cinderella, starring Brandy, Whitney Houston and Whoopi Goldberg. We talk about the baffling charm of this adaptation, the star-power of the cast, the new Little Mermaid, the endless drudgery of the 'representation' conversation, childhood desires and much more.
