I be certainly one of those people who take the advent of direct to video\/dvd sequel of the classic Disney film as yet another nail in the coffin of american popular culture . however , I have to admit that I have be pleasantly surprise by some of the most recent offering in this corporate enterprise , most notably `` Bambi II , '' which be most certainly not a embarrassment compare to the original . as a general rule of thumb I have find Disney 's sequel to be at least a star less than the original , and that be the case with `` Cinderella III : A twist in Time , '' which have the virtue of be a thought provoke critique on the original 1950 Disney animated feature film that would actually be worth discuss with kid after they have see it . I do not see `` Cinderella II : dream come true , '' but that do not seem to be any impediment to skip that sequel for this one . what be important be that you have see the original . the twist here be suppose to `` what if the slipper do not fit ? '' but that be not at all what happen here . Anastasia , one of Cinderella 's stepsister , be depressed because of all the happy ever after that be go on without she when she stumble across Cinderella 's Fairy Godmother and learn that it be the result of magic . the next thing we know Cinderella 's evil stepmother have the Fairy Godmother 's magic wand in she possession and to get revenge she turn back the hand of time to the moment when the Grand Duke show up at the front door with the glass slipper . before Cinderella come down the stair the evil stepmother use the magic wand to make Anastasia 's foot fit the slipper , so it never get to the point where the slipper do not fit Cinderella . in the original tell of Cinderella the slipper be make of glass because in she effort to have it fit she the large foot of she daughter the evil stepmother have one but off a toe and the other a heel . since it be a glass slipper everyone could see all the blood . that be never go to make it into a Disney version , but the original `` Cinderella '' make nice use of the glass slipper in a different way when the evil stepmother break the one the Duke have be cart around the kingdom . this set up my favorite moment in the original , which be when we young heroine reach into she pocket and produce the other glass slipper . `` Cinderella III '' follow up on that in a nice way when once again one of the glass slipper get break . as the King explain to the Prince , loving someone have to be base on more than `` they choice in transparent footwear , '' and that line be central to how `` Cinderella III : A twist in Time '' ask its young audience to go beyond the original fairy tale . even in a time when shoe be make individually to fit someone 's foot instead of be mass produce , the glass slipper be go to fit more than one person . so as the Prince learn , pick a bride because the shoe proverbially fit be not the best way to live happily ever after . meanwhile , the evil stepmother learn that there be some thing more powerful than magic . I also see this version as be influence by `` ever after : a Cinderella Story '' in that one of the evil stepsister be not as bad as the other -lrb- and I be also happy to see that the first painting in the end credit answer the question I have about Anastasia 's fate -rrb- . the net result be a interesting re-examination of some of the assumption of the original tale within the framework of that original movie and without resort to a `` modern '' re-telling of the tale . so I think most viewer will be pleasantly surprise with what they find here . the level of the animation here be not up to the level of a theatrical release , which be hardly surprising -lrb- `` Bambi II '' be a exception , but they clearly have to up they game with that one -rrb- . the song this time around be fine , but while Gus , Jac and two of the bluebird be back the female mouse from the originally be strangely miss -lrb- I have like high pitched singing mouse from `` Cinderella '' through `` Babe '' to today -rrb- . in term of special feature on this dvd there be a music video feature Hayden Panettiere -lrb- best know now as the cheerleader from `` hero '' -rrb- and look at another musical variation similar to this Cinderella theme do for a Disney cruise ship . in term of game and activity there be the Bidbidi-Bobbidi Game where you get a chance to `` grab the Fairy Godmother 's wand and make some magic of you own , '' and Cinderella 's ballroom , where you get to dance to the Princess Jukebox , choreograph you own ballroom dance , and even use you own photo to turn yourself into a princess -lrb- in other word , some of these be dvd-rom feature -rrb- .
