| | Greatly underrated!!! | Anonymous 03/24/2007 | | This is a fun movie. I loved it when I first saw it, and still enjoy watching it from time to time. I only wish Williams and Conti could have done some sequels! |

Cinderella II: Dreams Come True 2002   G, 73 min.
Genre: Animation / Family / Fantasy / Romance
Director: John Kafka
Cast: Jennifer Hale, Christopher Daniel Barnes, Tress MacNeille, Rob Paulsen, Corey Burton, Holland Taylor, Susan Blakeslee, Frank Welker, Russi Taylor, Andre Stojka, Carmen Carter, Gina La Piana, Susan Yezzi
Disney continues the trend of making sequels, first for newer films and now for older classics. This time, it's one of the real classics that gets a follow-on. It is actually three short stories as the Fairy Godmother (voice of Russi Taylor) grants three wishes. Cinderella (voice of Jennifer Hale) brings her home-spun outlook to the aristocratic world, Jaq the mouse (voice of Rob Paulsen) wants to see what it's like to be human, and the once-evil stepsister (voice of Tress MacNeille) finds love. Good for the under-10 crowd. 1 User Review
