Summary: FROM A BIG DISNEY FAN! SAVE YOUR MONEY AND READ THIS FIRST!
Review: In a nut shell, The public deserves much, much better. This vastly inferior sequel to Cinderella 2 is an insult to the Disney Fans everywhere and to the Memory of Walt Disney.
Do you really want to know how BAD this Cheaply produced 'Sequel' is? All you have to do is look at how many people are selling it used. If only a few used copies are available, then you know the movie is pretty good, like most of Disneys classics.
THIS IS NO CLASSIC. It resembles one of those badly produced knock off videos that people accidentally buy thinking they're getting the original film.
Except that this film is a Disney film.
Cinderella 2 only comes close to resembling a Disney film in the name only (Disney)....sadly there is nothing else to recommend it.
Actually this film has been produced with no attention to the very things that made Disney a household name.
The animation is Saturday Morning style which appears stilted and lacks finesse. Both the story and songs are poor. Overall, Cinderella 2 bathes in it's own mediocrity.
Save your money, or buy Peter Pan or The Three Caballeros
or Dumbo! Those are Disney classics that will give you great entertainment for the same price. Skip Cinderella 2 at any cost.
If you have to see it, rent it first!

Summary: A Delightful Movie...separated into 3 short stories
Review: Cinderella II begins with the mice and Fairy Godmother "writing" a book for Cinderella. And the story begins from there. It starts out with a short story about Cinderella planning the first banquet. Then, after this short story, you pan back to the mice and Fairy Godmother still making the book and they begin to tell the story of when the one mouse (can't remember his name) wanted to be human. The final story that is told is about Anastasia (one of the step sisters) falling in love with a Baker in the marketplace. It is a cute movie but it is not like the original Cinderella. It is a full length movie but it is cut into "parts" as stated above. The DVD has a DVD/ROM game called Cinderell's Dollhouse on it. Also, the DVD has a short section on the music composure for the film in the bonus material. The bonus material also includes a game that can be played right on the DVD player with the remote control that has to do with picking out outfits for Cinderella and helping her cook. I give this 4 stars because, like alomost any other sequel, the first one was better and I was expecting more of a flow to the movie from beginning to end instead of having shorter stories told. It makes you feel good though and the evil step mother is still very scary, even now.

Summary: The Step Sister learns looks are not EVERYTHING...
Review: Okay, so it is not like the original...but nothing will EVER come close to that masterpiece!
What I like is one of the evil step sisters learns to be nice and that looks are not everything-she gets a nice man the baker!

Summary: Dreams Didn't Come True
Review: I was very disappointed with this movie. It was not at all what I expected from a disney flick. This definitely was a last minute resort by Disney to generate revenues for themselves. It is unfortunate that with their dismal picture sales they have resorted to releasing unfinished works for home entertainment. I didn't mind the graphics however, it is a series of loose mini shows with the Cinderalla characters. Do not purchase if you expecting an insightful continuation of Cinderalla's life with her prince?

Summary: Yeesh.... what were they thinking?
Review: I, like most people, was expecting something at least on the par of Beauty and the Beast II, Aladdin II, or Lion King II when I first purchased this DVD. However, I was disappointed by this disjointed, incoherent movie. My sister and I had to turn it off halfway because we got bored. And another thing... could anyone else make out the words to the "follow your heart" song without turning on the subtitles? It's like the song was mashed into one big word! On the plus side, Gus Gus is still really cool.

Summary: People Calm Down A Bit
Review: You know this movie wasnt half bad considering that it has been 52 years since the original. The movie shows three different stories that the mice are writing for Cinderella, while not as charming as the original, what can you expect. Dont be too hard on people who happen to like the movie. I do agree that the songs do not belong in this movie, more promotional reasons than delight, people calm down... And something else i know what people are saying about the voices, but come on no one will have a close voice i bet, especially after 52 years... I repeat CALM DOWN!

Summary: Come On, it's a fairytale
Review: Well, I'd have to say that I really enjoyed watching this childrens' video with my 6 year old child. My daughter and I delighted in the tales spun of Cinderella's life after marriage. She loved the fact that Cinderella was so loving and nice to her evil step-sister after all the awful things that were done to her. My daughter and I spent a genuinely wonderful, happy evening together watching this happily-ever-after story. Your small child will probably enjoy it too!

Summary: Ugh! Disney--what did you do to a classic?!
Review: I am shocked to find that there are even people who are willing to like and buy this...This movie was so [bad]!...In "Cinderella II: Dreams Come True", Cinderella marries the Prince and it's basically about what goes on in Cinderella's life after she marries him. The animation was NOTHING like the original...Brooke Allison sings four out of the five songs that are in this movie...Little kids from ages 4-7 will probably find this movie entertaining, ...I don't even think they used the original voices for the original characters! They sure sounded different. And I don't like that when I see animated sequels...I like it when they use the original voices for all the original characters. At least it makes the movie seem more believable and watchable...

Summary: Very disappointing
Review: I am a big fan of Disney animation and I must say that some of the sequels have been quite well done. But this is not one of them. This is the absolute worst sequel to date. There is no coherent plot, just three loosley connected stories that seem like they popped out of Saturday morning cartoon fodder. The quality of the animation is average at best, even for direct to video. Only one of the stories is even about Cinderella. The other two concentrate on th mice and step sisters. If disney keeps cranking out these shameless duds they are going to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. It pains me to sya all this as I am a big disney fan but Disney has been slipping lately in many ways and this video is one of them.

Summary: Owtch...Cinderella II
Review: Oh, man, we had to rewind this beauty halfway through and watch Sherlock Holmes in "The Voice of Terror" instead. The backgrounds were nice, the animation terrific... for Saturday morning TV. If you want more than that, rent it or check it out from the library first before making the purchase.
