In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Of course, the original is better, but this isn't as bad as everyone says! Yes, it is made up into 3 stories, but hey, so what?! I thought it was quite good to be honest. I actually liked how Anastasia changed a little when she fell in love, it shows what love can do. The stories were not so bad either.I liked Cinderella's voice better in this too. I have nothing against her voice in the original, but I just think it sounds better here, more nicer. I liked her personality in this too, she had more of a backbone, yet she was still kind.So, I'll give Cinderella II:Dreams Come True a 7/10.

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 was shocked and surprised by the negative reviews I saw on the web. I thought Cinderella 2 (as well as 3) is a very cute and funny sequel for everyone to enjoy: kids and adults like me; I am 22 years old.I also found it a very informative film, it shows lessons on being true to yourself and following your heart. I thought it has great animation. And I thought the voice casting was very good; the songs performed by Brooke Allison too. Since this film has been divided into three flashbacks/stories, my favorite out of the three, is the story of when Jaq the mouse, became a human for a day - thanks to Fairy Godmother and her magic.

To preface this review, I haven't seen this in about two years, so I might not be remembering all of it correctly. However, I do remember that I watched this as part of a "bad Disney sequels" double feature along with Hunchback of Notre Dame II. (Yes, I admit; I'm a bad movie masochist!) Surprisingly enough, though I can't say I would watch Cinderella II again of my own free will anytime soon, I can say that it somehow isn't as bad as I was expecting. Of all the Disney sequels I've seen (and yes, I have seen quite a few of them), this is one of the least lousy. The three-story format seems to work a lot better with the television-quality, way-too-bright-and-none-too-subtle art and animation; it was nice to see that they were trying to evoke episodes of a television show rather than labor under the pretense of it being an actual movie. In light of this, it might make sense to break this review down into three sections, one for each story. (Possible spoilers ahead.)Cindy Plans a Party: Yawn. This is, by far, the worst of the segments. Cinderella, now in charge of the Ministry of Parties or some such bogus organization, has to convince the higher-ups that yes, peasants should be allowed to participate in the next royal shindig. That's about it. Very dull; no compelling reason to really watch it because nothing actually happens. Moving on...Are You a Man or a Mouse? - Make Up Your Mind Already!: Jaq, one of Cindy's mouse friends and one of the overall highlights of the entire endeavor, decides that, as a mouse, he's too small to really be of any help to her around the palace. So, thanks to a spell from the Fairy Godmother, he becomes a man, who also, inevitably, gets in the way and isn't much use to anyone. This one would be fairly silly as well, except that Jaq is a pretty endearing little guy. It also doesn't hurt that one of my favorite voice actors (Rob Paulsen of Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain fame) does his voice, and because Jaq becomes human, the voice hasn't been sped up beyond recognition.The, Um...Evil(?) Stepsister: So, we barely get to see Cinderella in this one, but considering that she's not the most exciting character, it's nice for the spotlight to shift for a moment. Instead, this features as our protagonist none other than...Anastasia, one of Cindy's evil stepsisters. Huh? Well, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that she had a change of heart after Cinderella got hitched to her Prince (who sounds eerily like Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid; is there some funny business going on in Disney fairy-tale land?) It wouldn't seem that Anastasia, being somewhat ugly as well as formerly evil, would have too many prospects in the area of love, but her mother still wants to see her marry rich, which is why she is shocked and appalled when Anastasia falls in love with...a common baker! (Cue Hitchcock-esque horror music.) But with Cindy's help, all works out, and she gets her baker. Awww.Overall, Cinderella II is pretty bland and not very interesting, but it's definitely an improvement over other Disney sequels, because it's much less painful to have three small segments of sub-par animation and storytelling rather than one big dose. There are actually enjoyable parts, even in the thrown-together interstitials between the stories featuring the Fairy Godmother and the mice. All in all, it's a nice little diversion to rent for an evening if you're bored and don't have anything else to do.
