This is the magical story of what happened to Cinderella after she married the Prince. She lives in the castle but doesn't want to be waited on and she doesn't want to lose her friends in the village. This story looks back on her years as Cinders when Gus and the rest of the mice were her friends. It tells stories of how the mice helped her and now that she is the Princess the mice want to be able to do things for her, but they think that she has forgotten all about them. It starts off with the mice making a story book of Cinderella's life and through her life journies, it tells of the adventures that they had. It tells of how she was being taught to be a Princess, all the different things that as Royalty she had to learn. I have watched this film quite a few times now and it never ceases to amaze me how "Disney" it is. The animations are just wonderful, the expressions on the little faces of the mice, the colours, the songs, the voices of the actors playing the mice, it is a truly lovely family film.
I have often wonder how they can make a sequel to the original story, but Disney have done this with class. Well worth the money, well worth the time I've spent watching it. A fantastic film.

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, please let me know and I'll re-rate.

I actually saw this advertised in asda the other day, wasnt too sure on it though.
Although after reading your review - and how my daughter is an avid fan of the princesses then i may have to take an extra trip back to asda to get it :O)
Advantages: Language very clear and easy to understand by children from age 3 .You do not need to watch cinderella (1) to follow the stories Disadvantages: It contains the story iniatially being narrated which could confuse younger kids a bit at the beginning
