DVD Reviews of Cinderella II: Dreams Come True (Special Edition)
DVD Review: Some good, mostly bad
Summary: 2 Stars
I am a big fan of the original Cinderella due to it's classic storyline, and the fact that Cinderella sets a wonderful moral example for my little girl. In the original, Cinderella is the epitomy of grace under hardship: she doesn't speak badly of her step-mother or step-sisters, she doesn't make fun, she doesn't whine or even complain, and she tried to make the best of a bad situation by being positive--even singing while she does her chores.
I had a feeling that the sequel wouldn't be on par with the original. For one thing, it has the unfortunate title of being a "sequel". Second, the newer Disney movies are continually disappointing when it comes to having main characters set examples for our children (think of the little mermaid whining about her life, and even Nemo saying to his father "I hate you", etc). Still, I wanted to see this movie, because i wanted to see what happens--i couldn't help myself.
Well, I'm disappointed. I don't mind the 3 storylines--it's a fairly creative idea. However, the creativity within the storylines is lacking and a little generic. I don't mind the animation (the first wasn't perfect either, since it was an early Disney movie). The problem is the characters and the music. Cinderella is NOT the same character as in the first movie. She is not the same pillar of grace and makes some comments to prove it. She also advises her step-sister in the third movie, "It's time to stop following someone else's orders and follow your own heart"-or something of the sort--to which i have to say this: maybe that's true to a point, but i don't appreciate that point being taught to my daughter by her hero Cinderella, who is talking to her step-sister about going against her own mother. Then Cinderella listens as Anastasia defies her mother's orders to her face, and smiles with relief.
The music is anything but classic--I don't like it. I prefer the sweet princess-like music to it.
And I don't like how the prince hardly appears. I would have liked to see his character more developed.
All and all, it was enjoyable to see Cinderella in her new home, but the Disney could have done a far better job.
Description of Cinderella II: Dreams Come True (Special Edition)
Disney continues to "sequelize" its classic features. 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 bridge the distance between the original and the sequel (here over 50 years) and it comes together seamlessly. Little ones from ages 4 to 9 should be entertained while purists may be a bit aghast. "--Doug Thomas"Bestsellers in DVD
