Now for my actual review.
INTRO
The first cinderella was much better than this one (as with most sequels) and was a disney classic. This film goes on to tell us about Cinderellas change from RAGS to ROBES and what happened after it. Cinderella was a slave to her step mother (whats a fairy tale without a wicked step moter?!?) and she hated it. Everything turns out okay in the end when the prince marrys her and they live happily ever after.
BEGGINING
The film starts with Cinderella and her maids (well, not really maids as cinderella insisits on doing all the work) working on the royal ball. The film then goes on to tell stories of what has happened while Cinderella has been at the castle.
STORIES
There are about 5 stories in it. My favourite is about one of Cinderella's friends (oh, by the way, he's a mouse!!!) who gets turned into a mouse by Cinderella's fairy god mother (who also starred in other transformations such as turning Cinderella's rags to a beautiful gown, fit for a queen). The mouse really loves Cinderella and when he's a human they become much better friends and go places like the carnival and horse riding. But the mouse has no concept of basic human behaviour (and neither do a lot of the students in my BIOLOGY class) so he acts very weird but Cinderella thinks its funny.
END
The story ends at the royal ball. Once again, there a happy ever after involved (these fairy tales are starting to get a little boring, wheres the action or dramatic endings?)
MY FAVS
I like all the story, and overall I like the whole film. I recomend it to everyone (oh wait, thats what the U is for!)
