Maybe Cinderella's only target of revenge(assuming she wants to get even with somebody) happens to be Lady Tremaine and she tried to make sure at least one of her daughters wouldn't get a noble and wealthy husband. And she might want a souvenir to tell her history to her kids(assuming she'll have them) or just waiting a chance to put the rags on Tremaine.

And, according to Wikipedia, Tremaine and Drizella will wear Cinderella-like rags in the end of the third movie. (Too much "Ever After", don't you think?)

Nope, they get turned into toads. True story.

I'm anespeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericumbobulations...

I adore the other couple.

"The other couple" is vague. There were lots of couples in Cinderella II.

This film is aimed at small kids, and "we can't have Disney sending out a bad message to them, now can we".

Uggh, it makes me want to throw up.

I'm a Disney fan, and I don't feel that this is aimed at me. Maybe my 5 year old neice, but not me.

This is a kid's flick. And when I say kid's I mean little kids.

That said, there are a lot of us out here who believe that Disney is aiming at younger and younger audiences and is making ts films less and less substantial because of this.

I thought that Cinderella helping Anastacia was the greatest part of this film. Here she had this person who had been awfully cruel to her, but she didn´t hold a grudge because of that. Instead she gave her help when she needed it the most without expecting anything in return. Mock it all you will, but I think that sends out a great message to all the kids out there. Just because somebody may have hurt you sometime in the past it doesn´t mean that person is completely evil or deserves to suffer. I wish people could be more like Cinderella was back then.

[–] flyingamon 18 years ago

I also liked the Anastasia part most.

It just shows that she has a heart and feelings too despite being so cruel to Cinderella before. Cinderella just makes her stepsister see what you can get done by being nice and that it is much more fun too.
At least she had learnt something and finally dared to rebel against her mother. Lucifer had learned nothing but yes he is evil to the bone.

I know I like to see that Cinderella is clever and bright as well as beautiful. That part in the movie was my most favorite. I mean she can clearly see that the step sisters weren't born evil but they were raised to be mean by Lady Tremaine. Also it's nice to see that Cinderella isn't the type to hold a grudge and that all people aren't one dimensional. And that Anastasia stood up to Lady Tremaine.

My favorite part of the sequel was when Anastasia becomes good. I guess this was loosely inspired from "Ever After", because in it, one of the stepsisters was actually kind to Cinderella and also got her 'happy ending'.

I hope Anastasia remains good in "Cinderella 3".

Maybe that dude's a wife beater, and Cindy knew!

reply

[–] luiz4200 17 years ago

You can't be serious about that guess, man. The only way Cindy, or anybody else, would know that is through some "Twist on Time", like in the third movie.

[–] jillsibley 17 years ago

Yes, Anastasia does remain good in "Cinderella III." She is a fairly central character in the new movie, and reveals that she does have a heart as well as a conscience. And it's implied from the end credits of "CIII" that she does find true love with her baker boy, so the continuity from CII isn't completely abandoned.

I think this would be a LOT less confusing if "Cinderella II" & "Cinderella "III" switched places. THAT would explain why Cinderella is SO forgiving to Anastasia.

Anastasia grew a backbone and beat her mother with it.

Okay not really, but come on, at least she was able to see that there was more to life than marrying well when it came to true love. Something that obviously Cinderella understood. Yeah, if you really wanna get all preachy, it shows that Cinderella, after years of mistreatment didn't hold a grudge and really did want to see her step-sister get their happily ever after.

And besides, the look on Druzilla's face was freakin' priceless after Anastasia stood up to Lady Tremaine. It was that look of, "Oh my gosh, why haven't I done this yet?"

Never mock the cookie.

Anastasia could pamper Cinderella, give cupcakes to poor children, and have flower-scented farts all she wants. This does not change the fact that she was 1/4 of giving Cinderella absolute hell and hate for over decade. I wouldn't forgive her, if I was Cinderella (but I'm not. I just shot down a potential argument!).

It makes me angry that people actually like this animated holocaust, and I get especially angry when we're supposed to feel sympathy for a character like Anastasia. I sympathize with toilet-paper vandalisms than I do with Anastasia.

[–] luiz4200 16 years ago

Well, I liked seeing how upset Lady Tremaine got at the end.

reply

[–] PopSixSquish 12 years ago

Well, I am certainly no Cinderella and wouldn't be so quick to forgive, either...however, the idea is that people can change. Nothing will ever erase the inexcusable cruelty Cinderella endured for so long, and perhaps the step-family can never truly make up for it. Cindy was robbed of so much. And yet, it's not that difficult to feel SOME sympathy for the stepsisters, even during the first film. At times they're likable in a silly, awkward, immature, selfishly funny way. They've been raised by someone whose elitist and superficial views lead her to emotional callousness and barbaric meanness. The fact that one of them winds up rebelling against this at some point and becoming a new person--or maybe the one she knew somewhere deep down that she should have been all along--is encouraging. Even having Lady Tremaine for a mother doesn't mean you're totally hopeless. On top of that, there's an obvious change of heart taking root in Drizella, as well. Might be a bit too much to hope that Lady Tremaine will have any sort of positive relationship with her step-daughter and her new family and friends in the future, but one never can tell.

You're right. i always considered her the meaner out of the stepsisters.

[–] Ambela 14 years ago

Well, Anastasia was mostly just a cow around her sister and mother, so it could be she was just mean because of her influences, and it took infatuation for her to consider being a decent human being.
And of course Cinderella helped her, in case nobody noticed, Cinderella's a complete goody-goody pushover.
