| Cinderella 3: A Twist in Time : 3 of 5 | |

 Since Cinderella 2 has gone down in history as the worst DVD sequel ever made (I can't even believe I gave it a 2 rating!), I probably wouldn't have taken the time to watch this DVD, but my pal Melinda (who is a Cinderella fan) loaned it to me, and this sequel is actually pretty entertaining! This time around the story team realized that you just can't have a story that takes place after "happily ever after", so in this plot the evil stepmother steals Fairy Godmother's magic wand and turns back time to the day after the ball. Using the magic wand, she makes the slipper fit on Anastasia's (one of the step-sisters) big foot, and even changes the prince's memories so he thinks he was dancing with her! There are lots of exciting moments as Cinderella and the mice try to get the wand back to fix everything, and some great humor, too (right down to the clinking sound of Anastasia walking around with one glass slipper on!). The songs aren't that special, and the story has a couple weird sections (mainly the prince actually understanding the talking mice, which is bizarre to me), but overall it's a fun idea. The animation is a pretty inconsistent - some scenes really look nice (such as Cinderella's expressions while she's being banished on the ship), while others are flat and awful. Of course, there are no documentary features here, just a really long and tedious game (but I played it anyway!). Now that Disney has made major changes with DisneyToon Studios, I can't imagine we will see many more of these DVD sequels, so it's nice that this one isn't too bad!
