Cinderella III A Twist in Time released in UK as simply Cinderella A Twist in Time is the second directtovideo sequel to the 1950 Walt Disney Pictures animated. Cinderella II Dreams Come True. By Kelvin Cedeno. Disney has continued several of its animated classics via television series with mixed success. Some of these were quite popular in their own right, while others have faded away after a short run. Then there are those that were cancelled before they ever aired. U_iRo-3XgCA/hqdefault.jpg' alt='Cinderella II: Dreams Come True Movie Rating' title='Cinderella II: Dreams Come True Movie Rating' />Cinderella II Dreams Come True takes the three episodes produced for a proposed Cinderella series and connects them together with new interstitials. If that sounds like a slapdash way to make a sequel, it is. Cinderella II fails both as a movie and as an unrealized TV series. This 2. 00. 2 film begins with mice Jaq and Gus hurrying to hear the Fairy Godmother re read the familiar story of Cinderella. Unfortunately, they arrive just as the tale has ended. Disappointed that there arent more published Cinderella stories they obviously havent been to the Disney Princess aisle of their local bookstore, the mice decide to create a book of the events that have taken place since Cinderella became a princess. The first of these stories is Aim to Please. Taking place immediately after Cinderellas honeymoon, it depicts her struggles in her first days as royalty. The King unabashedly burdens Cinderella with the task of holding a royal banquet. Prudence, the royal advisor, assists, but the new princess has trouble adapting to Prudences precise methods. Tall Tail, the second episode, makes Jaq the main focus. The Tomatometer rating based on the published opinions of hundreds of film and television critics is a trusted measurement of movie and TV.

Cinderella A Twist in Time is the second and last directtovideo sequel of the 1950 Walt. With errands keeping Cinderella busy, Jaq feels left out. His attempts to help her only end in disaster. Sesame Street - Sing Along Free Download. Exasperated at being a mouse, Jaq wishes to become human, which the Fairy Godmother grants. This starts off well enough, but he inevitably runs into more problems in this form than he did as a mouse. An Uncommon Romance is the final tale told. In it, Anastasia falls in love with the local baker, much to the dismay of her mother, Lady Tremaine. Upon noticing, Cinderella decides to play matchmaker and bravely tries to make Anastasia look presentable. The mice attempt to do the same for Lucifer after they learn hes smitten with Pom Pom the palace cat. Both parties encounter more challenges than expected. Cinderella II Dreams Come True certainly does not live up to its title. Anyone who had dreamed of a sequel to the original classic most certainly wasnt expecting this. Obviously using three episodes of a discarded television series isnt going to lend itself very well to a cohesive narrative. Even with that in mind, the segments presented here just dont work. Theres a blatant disregard for anything having to do with the original, whether it be characterization or art design. Using generic pop songs for montage sequences is especially glaring. The original film handled its emotions sophisticatedly and naturally. Both approaches have been tossed out the palace window for this show. The moral of each story is hammered into the skull of the viewer and is done so in a cloying and saccharine fashion. The animation is sterile even by television standards. The characters move in the type of jerky manner that results in not enough frames of animation being used. Colors inexplicably have a dull and clinical look to them that arent close to evoking the predecessors palette no matter which home video version you go by. Is Cinderella II atrocious No, it isnt. Even at its worst, its still watchable. But it is hopelessly bland. Its obvious why this show never made it to air. In just the three episodes here, one can already see the writers running out of ideas. Each segment ends with some sort of gala event, and certain story points simply dont make sense. For those looking for a Cinderella sequel that is more reminiscent of the original, their efforts would be better spent with this years Cinderella III A Twist in Time. Nearly six years since it debuted on DVD and nearly five since going out of print, Cinderella II Dreams Come True returned to disc earlier this week in a Special Edition. The moniker is largely unwarranted due to the complete lack of specialness. This version just updates the sneak peeks and adds a set top game. For that matter, the only reason for this release is to put Cinderella II back in stores and one can question the necessity of that. Even after half a decade on moratorium, the original DVD still hasnt been fetching high prices in secondhand online markets. To add insult to injury, this new edition is only to remain in print for a month. At the end of January 2. Disney vault along with its predecessor and follow up. VIDEO and AUDIOCinderella II Dreams Come True appears in a 1. Animation quality aside, this transfer is riddled with a single major problem edge enhancement. Almost the exact first half of the film the first 3. Once the 3. 6 minute mark has passed, things clear up considerably, though the enhancement is still present. Colors seem to be replicated accurately, though, and the picture is completely clean of any other flaws. Two 5. 1 tracks are included a Dolby Digital one and a DTS one. Both sound identical, which makes the DTS mix superfluous. Dialogue, effects, and score are all exceptionally clear and crisp. Only effects utilize the surround channels, and even then only occasionally. Voices and music are fairly front heavy. This is about as good as one would expect from a film of this nature. BONUS FEATURES, MENUS and PACKAGINGThe one supplement exclusive to this release, the game Race to the Royal Banquet does little to differentiate itself from the dozens of other Disney set top games. Its broken up into three levels. The first two simply consist of pressing the enter button at the appropriate time. The last portion is a bit more interesting, as one must navigate Jaq and Gus through the palace walls using the remotes directional arrows. Its not very fun, though, and the game is over within five minutes. The original DVD supplements begin with a Cinderella DVD storybook entitled, A Little Misunderstanding. Told through stills and movie clips taken out of context, the story is about Jaq and Mary giving each other the freeze treatment due to a misinterpretation. As usual, one has the option of having the story read to him or reading it alone. Cinderellas Enchanted Castle, like most set top games, contains three parts to it. Players must help our heroine choose the proper ensemble to wear for certain occasions, straighten up the dishelmed dining room, and prepare a batch of cookies. Its a rather tedious way to spend several minutes. Next comes the most substantial extra on the disc the featurette Musical Magic 5 5. Composer Mike Tavera is interviewed, as is singer Brooke Allison who appears towards the end. The former explains his job, while the latter expresses how happy she is to be a part of the film. Obviously Allisons comments are useless, though Tavera defines film scores in a way thats understandable for children. Finally, theres a music video for Put It Together performed by an unseen Allison 3 5. The song itself is mostly harmless, as is the standard editing of Cinderella II clips that make up the entirety of the video. The timing for this release is curious. The original film arrived on DVD October of 2. February of 2. 00. One would think either a 2. Either way, this disc is really just a re issue rather than a true Special Edition upgrade. The 1. 6x. 9 menus further prove the re issue status, as theyre identical to the old release. The main menu shows the ball from the third segment as the attendees dance to a waltz. The bonus features menu contains an animated fountain joined by more film score. All other menus are static images also featuring music. As is standard of nearly any Disney animated title, this one comes in a white keepcase with the obligatory reflective slipcover over it. Inside, one finds a double sided insert with scene selections and bonus lists plus a Disney Movie Rewards code sheet. The disc opens up with trailers for Disney Blu Ray, Wall E, Snow Buddies, and The Aristocats Special Edition. Cinderella III A Twist in Time Video 2. Edit.
