27 Best Cinderella Brandy And Paolo Montalban Moments

From the whimsical musical numbers to the diverse, star-studded cast, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella is one of the most iconic remakes of the classic fairytale — and, personally, it’s one of my favorite movies from childhood.

Earlier this year, stars Brandy and Paolo Montalban reunited onscreen after over 25 years for Disney’s Descendants: The Rise of Red, and if you haven’t seen their interview already, it may have you tearing up.

1.

There’s the beginning of the film when Cinderella and the Prince have no idea they’re about to cross paths in town — when Cinderella sings, “The Sweetest Sounds,” about finding love, and lo and behold, the Prince is nearby, singing the same thing.

2.

Then, when they finally meet, they make eye contact for the first time, and let’s just say, it’s love at first sight.

3.

And then, there’s the sweet moment they bond over the fact that they’ve both lived a sheltered life.

4.

There’s the moment the Prince and Cinderella finally spot each other again at the ball, and the eye contact strikes again (crying!).

5.

And it gets better. The. Hand. On. The. Chin.

6.

And the LOOK. Girl, same!!!

7.

There’s the funny moment when they start dancing together, and they don’t quite remember each other from the marketplace.

8.

And, of course, the moment he calls her beautiful for the first time.

9.

They’re in their own little world.

11.

And, TBH, there’s any and every time the Prince looks at her.

12.

They even dance outside! (We love love!!!)

13.

There’s the sweet moment Cinderella and the Prince once again bond over their unpredictable, demanding families.

14.

And they realize that maybe, just maybe, they might be “the one” for each other.

16.

Oh, and there’s the OTHER hand touch! The romance!

17.

It all seems too good to be true!

18.

Cinderella joins in on the song, clearly feeling the same way about her prince.

19.

There’s the wholesome moment when the Prince kisses both her hands and her forehead!!!! (What!!!!)

20.

And then, they have their first kiss! Ahhh!

21.

To pull at our heartstrings even more, there’s the moment they’re forced to part ways when Cinderella frantically runs off at midnight — before the Prince even gets her name.

22.

And then, of course, he finds something to remember her by: the glass slipper.

23.

And during their time apart, the two have their moments where they miss each other. Cinderella — despite her evil stepmom’s treatment — realizes she deserves to be loved for who she really is, even though she’s not royalty.

24.

And the Prince decides he needs to find Cinderella.

25.

There’s the moment when, after having several women try on the glass slipper without any success, the Prince finally runs into Cinderella again.

27.

And, last but absolutely not least, there’s the moment they ride through town together and have a dream wedding.

😭😭😭 We love a fairytale!
