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

Director: David Silverman
Cast: Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Harry Shearer, Marcia Wallace, Hank Azaria, Billie Joe Armstrong, Tress MacNeille, Pamela Hayden, Joe Mantegna, Albert Brooks, Tre Cool, Russi Taylor, Tom Hanks
The long-running TV show "The Simpsons" comes to the screen with more adventures of the Simpson family. Lisa Simpson (voice of Yeardley Smith) takes on the environmental-awareness cause to clean up Springfield's lake, while her father, Homer (voice of Dan Castellaneta), remains clueless and even dares his son, Bart (voice of Nancy Cartwright), to skateboard around town in the nude. Matters take a downhill turn when Homer brings a pig home as a family pet, which leaves Marge (voice of Julie Kavner) nagging him to get rid of the pig's droppings. Homer dumps the pig's waste in the lake–an act that results in getting the attention of E.P.A. head Russ Cargill (voice of Albert Brooks) who convinces President Schwarzenegger (voice of Harry Shearer) to have a plastic dome placed over Springfield. Now, it is up to Homer to save Springfield.
