The racial diversity in every facet of this film was nothing like I expected it to be - the traditional family and intimate relationships being of people among the same race. My children were too young to expect otherwise. They loved the story from the beginning. Their minds weren't conditioned to think of people as so different that they couldn't be members of the same family, paired up as nuptials, or coupled as dancing partners of different races. The only negative things they comment on are the self centeredness and selfish competitiveness of the characters in the film. This Cinderella story is just like any other great story to them. They have watched this movie so much that the adults in my family got used to unusal and unexpected aspects of this movie. Now that we have overcomed our biasnesses, we view this Cinderella film as a great story - about people of the human race. I commend those responsible for being so daring to take such risks. It was well worth the lessons our family learned in addition to having an enjoyable film to watch.
