Rating: Summary: Not what I expected Review: Cinderella II is a cute movie, but I was a little disappointed. I was expecting it to be a continuation of the Cinderella story. Instead, it's a collection of short stories told by the mice. The quality of the production isn't near anything else that's Disney.
Rating: Summary: We love it Review: My 3 and 1 year old girls and I watch this almost every day, she will only give up Scooby for this video. We love it.
Rating: Summary: Needs a Fairy Godmother Review: This is a mediocre sequel at best. Viewing the tape reminded me of a poor Saturday morning cartoon pilot. The animation, dialogue, and plots need a fairy godmother's help to even approach the quality and magic of the original.
Rating: Summary: Walt disney must be rolling around in his grave Review: I absolutly despise this movie, and I am so glad I didn't buy it. I read in one review that Walt's films were designed to leave a "happily every after" feeling in the viewers. that certainly is true for most of them. even the spiritually uplifting Fantasia Finale accomplishes this. the sequels to Alladin and Lion King Are OK, because they were made by the same people. but today's disney should not even attempt to sequelize Walt's Films. I will never see Peter Pan 2 or lady and the tramp 2, and I will never buy a "snow white 2" or "aristocats 2" or "pinnochio 2" remember what George Lucas said he wanted to do with the Star Wars Holiday special? I'll bet Walt Disney would do the same thing with this awful sequel and every one else like it.
Rating: Summary: They Could Have Done Much Better! Review: CINDERELLA II is a movie that is obviously intended for young kids. They took the point of the view of 'story telling' literally. The mice and fairy godmother tell 'stories' as to what happened to Cinderella after her big ball. The problem is - not much happened and there was not much change or growth. In other words the mice tell a story - but there is no story to tell.The mice try their usual slapstick and comic routines, but they no longer have the charm. The movie has its heart in the right place - its just not Disney to me. It's a wonder why people say 'doesn't anyone read the script anymore'. There are some fun stuff on the DVD for kids - like the storybook with an interactive menu. There is also a music video and a DVD link. Overall this was a little disappointment. But it is good for the really young kids. (8-15-02)
Rating: Summary: Dont waste your money on this! Review: I am 13 and have a 3 year old sister. My sister was completely bored with the movie shortly after it started and we didnt bother to watch it again. It was complicated for her and I didnt really know how to explain it to her because I didnt understand the stupidity of it. The whole movie is like flashbacks that are extremely boring to see. It has no point to the movie.
Rating: Summary: cinderella 2 drips with un-originality Review: the movie drips with un-orliginality, a lacklustre storyline, bad soundtrack, and extremely un-fairy tail-ish, the movie as a whole would bring to disney nothing but shame, the only reason i gave it an average rating(which it doesnt deserve)is the uniqueness in its way of presenting the story which consists of 3 different stories, one of cinderella, one of cinderella's animal friends, and the third of her step sister anastasia, these three stories individuslly are pretty good but they are nothing of a classic fairy tail standard
Rating: Summary: Great! Review: This is a Great movie I love the way it tells you what happened after the happily ever after. I for one am going to buy it. I know that there was some differences with it such as the voices and the art work was a little different but you can't think that after 52 years it's going to be the same. I love a good retelling of the Cinderella story it keeps the story alive this just adds a little more to the time less tale. So for my it made the story of Cinderella be reborn.
Rating: Summary: Uncle Walt wept! Review: I wanted to say Jesus wept. this movie is that awful. I'm glad I grew up in the era of good children's/family movies. This movie is made for the TV generation aka I'm bored mommy change the channel. I can't believe Disney made this [junk]. I know not all Disney sequels are bad. Toy Story II and Rescuers Down under, Aladdin and the King of theives are the best Disney Sequels of all time. I cringe every time Disney makes a movie with a II behind it. I pray this mediocrisy doesn't plague Disney's Lilo and Stitch or any other new releases Disney will cook up.
Rating: Summary: zero out of five stars - AVOID Review: I am sorry to say I was deeply saddened by my viewing of this "film". Its horrible animation and nails-meets-chalkboard soundtrack made me cry tears of horror. Watch the original for quality, watch the sequel to induce vomiting. Spare yourself and your loved ones, avoid avoid avoid.
