Shrek has that perfect blend of children humour and adult humour. It just has an iconic cast as well, like in the same way. I think Cinderella is probably the one that everybody's heard of. There's something about fairy tales that are interesting because they just constantly sort of elastic. And we reshape them again and again and again. But it's fascinating that we will never get tired of these stories.
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.
