I be surprise that my wife buy this dvd for we kid , because Disney direct-to-dvd sequel be usually poorly animated , poorly write flop . I be surprise again when I happen to come into my kid ' room while they be watch it , and I find myself get pull into the film and watch the rest of it with they . I vaguely remember see part of Cinderella II , enough to recall that it be rather poor . it seem that some reviewer here will hate the film no matter what , because they be Disney purist and feel that no sequel could ever possibly do justice to the original . and then it seem that other reviewer want to love the film so much that they will rate it highly even if they movie be a stinker . I have neither of these mindset . I do not have any deep devotion to original Disney feature , and I do not really care about the sequel . what I can say be that this movie have very good animation . I have to keep remind myself that this be a direct-to-dvd production , because it look so good . as for picky detail like what Cinderella 's foot look like , I guess I have get too much of a life to keep replay the movie over and over to focus on thing like that . as allude to above , the story be good enough to pull I in when I have other thing to do . in fact , I agree with some other reviewer that Cindrella and the prince be both more engaging character in this movie than in the original . the only character in the original that be really entertaining be the stepmother\/stepsisters , the king and duke , and the animal . the star couple be rather boring to watch , but not so in this sequel . I give this 5 star not because it be worthy of any award , but rather because among other direct-to-dvd release -lrb- especially sequel -rrb- , it really stand out .
