this be another attempt of Disney 's to take one of they fondest character and stretch she likability and promise WAY too thin to earn a profit . even so , this film best they last direct-to-video installment , Cinderella 2 , which I turn off after just ten minute . this movie make you yearn for the original film and the magic that go into it . it do have its high point , though , in that I love see the stepsister character develop . maybe a better direct-to-dvd offering would simply be a stepsister biography ? anyway , some of the character action do not ring true . and a time-travel theme ? that might be better suit for a Star Trek movie . however , that be the gimmick that get I to buy this film in the first place ! maybe the next sequel will be Cinderella 4 : back 4 more , Race against the machine . if you must consider any Disney sequel , try Bambi II , which I believe be far superior .
