I know that be heresy , but I do not care . the original `` Cinderella '' may be a classic , but I never care for it . I acknowledge the beauty of the animation and the quality of the song , but I find it nearly impossible to root for the frustratingly passive title character . which be why I like this sequel . Cinderella finally come into she own as a smart , resourceful heroine . she take she fate into she own hand , and stand up to she evil stepmother instead of allow the old rhymes-with-witch to bully she . this be the Cinderella I have always want to see ! while many have grumble over the transformation of Cinderella 's stepsister Anastasia , I like it . I find it believable and quite touching . while she sister drizellum remain hateful , Anastasia show that , underneath it all , she be really a decent person , who wish to be love for she own self , however clumsy and goofy that self may be .
