Cinderella is here!

Hi Everyone,

Thanks again for voting for your favorite “fairy”! As you know, the fairy Godfather won the fairy contest by popular demand, and he’s read to make his cartoon debut!

Presenting Debbie and Friends’ “Cinderella” song. It’s the classic tale with a twist, including self-esteem and friendship messages for kids.

ENJOY!

Thank you to Planet Sunday for the amazing animation work! You guys are the greatest!

Debbie and Friends DVD Shoot - Cafe 939 Berklee

Yesterday, the band and I had the great opportunity to make music with some of our fan families as a 4-camera crew and audio recording team captured our time together at Berklee’s Cafe 939.

The videos will be part of our new DVD, scheduled to be released on March 29, 2011. We’ll have a special DVD release concert at the Regent Theatre in Arlington, MA on March 26 (mark your calendars!) Click here to order tickets.

The DVD shoot was a such a fun time! My favorite moments were when all of the families were singing our songs along with us, as strongly as the band. Very special!

The following are some pictures from the day.

A Cinderella Story Song

We’re at it again! Debbie and Friends has teamed up with the talented folks at Planet Sunday to bring you another animated music video. This one is going to be a rockin’ adaptation of the Cinderella story (with a slightly different ending).

You may recognize some of the characters from other Debbie and Friends’ cartoons. Here’s a sneak preview of what’s in the works and slated to be released in time for the holiday season.

First, meet Cinderella and her animal friends.

Next, a preview of Cinderella having a great time at the ball. Notice the band playing in the background… look familiar???

And finally, a new and improved Prince. We adjusted him slightly from the picture above after getting some really helpful feedback from you, our wonderful fan families!

We’ll post more as the project progresses. For the latest updates on Cinderella and all Debbie and Friends animated music videos, please subscribe to our YouTube channel:

Enjoy!
