Dreadfully Boring

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

This was a very interesting and suspenseful plot. It starts one year after the original Cinderella. During the first year anniversary, the Fairy Godmother flings the wand away, and it gets stolen by Anastasia. The Fairy Godmother is turned into a statue trying to get the wand back, and the Stepmother turns back time to the point before Anastasia tried on the glass slipper in the original Cinderella. The Stepmother uses the wand to change the slipper to make it fit Anastasia's foot, and later makes the prince forget that it was Cinderella he danced with. However, the Prince still can tell that something is wrong. Meanwhile, Cinderella with the Birds and the Mice try to get the wand back, but the mice do convince the Prince to save Cinderella, who the Stepmother has banished. The Stepmother then uses the wand to make Anastasia look very much like Cinderella, and uses the wand to send Cinderella far away. However, Cinderella is able to get back to the wedding, and Anastasia can't go through with it. Although the Stepmother turns threes sets of guards into chickens, pigs, and one other animal, the prince deflects the spell when the Stepmother tries to turn Cinderella and Anastasia into toads, and it turns the stepmother and the other stepsister into toads. Anastasia turns herself back to her correct appearance, and then brings the Fairy Godmother back from being a statue. The Fairy Godmother decides not to send them forward in time again. Cinderella and the Prince get married again, and Anastasia finds true love by marrying the Baker.

I might not have been around too long, but i've learned that when you're with a girl (In this case it's my best female friend) watching kid flicks or chick flicks is a whole lot easier. In this case I spent just a little over an hour of my time watching the 3rd Cinderella installment. And I can't believe i'm about to write this...it was worth it.The evil stepmother is sick of seeing her former slave enjoying life with the prince. Every day she wishes for vengeance. She finally gets it in the form of the fairy godmother's wand. What leads is a real hard effort from Disney to fill the void between the first and second Cinderella movies.First off, No sequel nor prequel can beat an original. But Cinderella 3 came pretty darned close. I usually don't say that about Disney movies, since most of the sequels are simply trying to cash in on whatever they can get. But Cinderella 3 had something special. I don't know what, it just did. Maybe a lot of young people can relate to Anastacia, for example. They just want to find the love of their life. Maybe we just wanted to see injury added to insult to the evil stepmother. Or maybe we need to see why Cinderella was so nice to Anastasia in Cinderella II. There's so many reasons why this 3rd installment isn't in the 3 out of 10 star rank with multiple negative comments.I give it 7 out of 10. If your best friend wants you to watch it with her, go for it.

When you compare this to say The Return of Jafar or Cinderella 2, it is much better with a warm story and no useless new characters that have important roles. However, when you compare this to The Lion King 2 or Aladdin and the king of thieves, this film doesn't even match. Still this the first sequel i was actually rating from awful to great. The original was much better but this is one of those good Disney sequels up there with: Lion king 2, Aladdin 3, Little Mermaid 2, Kronks new groove, and of course lion king 1 1/2. The villain has much more screen time so you get to understand what she feels rather than when she didn't show rage and was cool and collected in the original.

At first I did not know there was going be a Cinderella 3. But after I watched it, I thought Cinderella 3 (as well as 2) are great sequels for everyone to enjoy: kids and adults like me.The film has great animation and music and I thought the voice casting was very good; Tress McNeille was great as Anastasia and Jennifer Hale as Cinderella. I love it when the mice, the birds and the Fairy Godmother throw a party for Cinderella and the prince, since it's the anniversary of when Cinderella put on the glass slipper and married The Prince. Another scene I love is when the two mice, Jaq & Gus, tell Cinderella what has happened by role-playing; it's very cute.
