No matter how many times the tape got caught up, I’d ever so gently pull it out a little bit, straighten it out and hope our beloved VHS of Cinderella would play again just one more time….and it always did. My little sister and I would watch, rewind, watch again, rewind, sing the words even harder, dress the cat up even more ridiculous than one of the stepsister’s, all while my mom was busy in the background folding laundry and likely trying to hang on to an ounce of her sanity during the girlie squealing chaos.

Cinderella came out on VHS in 1995 when I was 11 and my sister was just over 2 and I have such warm, fuzzy feelings watching my favorite princess with my sister. Everytime I hear a Cinderelly! song I’m flooded with those nostalgic moments that Disney has planted deep in our hearts from so many years ago.

Disney Junior continues to bring happiness to families across Canada with quality entertainment, creating precious moments for little ones and their families and they’re kicking off the new year on a magical note:
