I love this movie so much
Redundant and unnecessary.
Powerful
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
A sweet and decent little anthology film that thankfully doesn't retreat the same morals and stories of its predecessor, but instead shows us where the characters ended up after "happily ever after". Though far from very good, it still stands above it's straight-to-video-Disney-sequel brethren.
I never had an interest in seeing the Cinderella sequels, don't get me wrong, I love the original Cinderella, but I was nervous what they would do to the story, so I decided not to see them. But recently they've been showing the commercials that they're putting the Cinderella movies back in the "disney vault", so due to brain washing, I rented Cinderella 2 and watched it last night and I have to say that as silly as it was, for the audience it was made for, children, it was cute. The animation was colorful, the songs are still catchy, and the stories are charming. I think it was a little weird to watch because it had been almost 50 years since the first Cinderella was created, and hearing the new voices was a little strange, but this wasn't a bad addition to the Cinderella stories.What happened to Cinderella after she and the prince married? What happened to the mice and her fairy godmother? The mice and the fairy godmother decide to write a book on Cinderella, what has happened to her and them. The first story is Cinderella adjusting to becoming a "proper" princess, but she learns that being herself is what truly matters. The next story is how Jaq, the mouse, wants to help Cinderella, but can't, since he's so small. He asks the fairy godmother to turn him into something bigger, she turns him into a human, but once again, he learns that being himself may help more in the end. And Cinderella's step sister, Anastasia, falls in love with the town baker, but her mother wishes for her to marry a higher class, and Anastasia learns that maybe a change in attitude will with the baker over.Cinderella II: Dreams Come True is of course the direct to video for Disney, and we always know for the most part, these movies are not going to compare to the first film, but I thought that Cinderella is a cute movie for the little girls. I know I would have loved this movie so much if I were a kid, but I wanna be generous on the rating, because for a cartoon, you have to admit that it was cute. It's not an ultimate charmer like the first Cinderella movie, that's for sure, but it's worth a look, I think.5/10
I grew up watching the original Disney Cinderella, and have always loved it so much that the tape is a little worn.Accordingly, I was excited to see that Cinderella 2 was coming on TV and I would be able to see it.I should have known better.This movie joins the club of movie sequels that should have just been left alone. It holds absolutely NONE of the originals super charm! It seems, to me, quite rough, and almost brutal, right from the (don't)Sing-a-longs to the characterization.While I remember the character's telling a story through a song, this film's soundtrack was laid over the top, and didn't seem to fit. Jaq's transformation into a human is a prime example: Where he was walking around eating an apple and adding a few little quips in here and there, he should have been dancing around and singing about how great it was to be tall! And in the ballroom, there's old barn dance type country music. It's as though the writers forgot where and when this story was set. The upbeat fiddles certainly didn't fit.Even the artwork and animation in Cinderella 2 isn't up to scratch with the original. The artwork in this film seems quite raw and less detailed. And we see part of Cinderella's hoop skirt, which doesn't feel right.The movie itself could have been it's own story, I think that it should have been just that. I wouldn't say that I hate it, but I believe that it had many shortcomings. It seems to downgrade in a significant way from the beloved Cinderella original.
The sequel to the ever popular Cinderella story reminded me somewhat of what they did with one of the Beauty & the Beast movies. It's basically three short stories rolled into 1.OK, the mice are adorable (I love Gus! He's sooo cute!), and Lucifer's awesome (as usual). I liked some of the newer characters as well, (Pom Pom was adorable and I did like Prudence.). Still, the storyline was somewhat limited, but still very cute. So, I vote 7/10.
