most of the time , Disney 's direct to video sequel be just awful , but this be actually a nice sequel and better than the first Cinderella sequel . it feel a bit more realistic , with the wicked stepfamily steal Fairy Godmother 's wand and use it to they own advantage . Anastasia be give the chance to be a real Princess when Stepmother use the wand to make she look like Cinderella so she can fool Prince Charming . gee , I do not know that Godmother 's wand could actually manipulate time ! if Godmother 's wand have that much power , then she could have use it to ensure that she goddaughter do not lose either she real mother or she father , so I be bother with the Godmother 's role . however , the story be decent and Anastasia turn out to be a decent character . she already show this in the second Cinderella movie , so I be not surprise to see that in this film . though Anastasia enjoy be beautiful and have the affection of the Prince , she conscience nag at she , especially after spend time with she prospective father-in-law . Drizella and Stepmother remain as evil as ever , but it be nice to see that at least one stepsister do have a heart . if you be a die-hard Cinderella fan , you might enjoy this film , otherwise , just rent .
