Sequel to Disney's classic full-length animation 'Cinderella'. Cinderella and her Prince Charming have just returned from their honeymoon, and Cinders is finding it hard to fit into the routine of palace life. She has been quickly cast in the role of Royal Hostess and finds the prospect so daunting that she begins to think the happily-ever-afters might have been spoken too soon. But with the Fairy Godmother and her friends the mice on hand to help out, everything's sure to turn out fine in the end.
Disney has once again "sequelised" a classic feature with Cinderella II: Dreams Come True. With smart foresight, the filmmakers choose to go with three snappy short films to comprise this 73-minute feature with the Fairy Godmother granting wishes to various characters. In the opening short, Cinderella must pursue life as queen. Several feathers are ruffled as she brings her down-home ways to the castle (bring the commoners in and open those darn curtains).
In the other tales, one of Cinderella's animal pals receives a chance to see the world quite differently and finally, Anastasia, Cinderella's formerly evil stepsister, finds love with a little help. As with the other sequels, the look of the film helps bring the distance between the original and the sequel (here over 50 years) come together seamlessly. Little ones from age four to nine should be entertained while purists may be a bit aghast. --Doug Thomas
