Cinderella II Dreams Come True should've been titled Tales From Cinderella's Castle


I have never figured out why Disney decided to create a sequel to Cinderella when the end of Cinderella says "and they lived happily ever after" and so when I heard that Cinderella II was gonna be released I rushed to buy it when it came out and when I watched it it seemed that Cinderella II Dreams Come True was not actually a full length movie but seemed to be more of a debut set of episodes for a cartoon series based on Cinderella called Tales From Cinderella's Castle that was set to debut on Disney Channel but was shelved at the last minute and so Disney decided to put the three episodes together and market it as a movie. But I think what really makes Cinderella II not worth watching are the stories that have storylines that are hard and confusing to figure out. For example in the first story Cinderella started out being very excited and thrilled that she was gonna live in the castle but as soon as she found out that she wasn't expected to do things her style Cinderella's personality changed and had she known that she was expected to follow the rules she should've told the staff first that she was the boss of the castle. Also in the other part in the first story I found it shocking that Cinderella couldn't wear her own royal clothing and why did Disney give Cinderella two ladies-in-waiting who did nothing to help Cinderella but control what she did like the character Prudence who was the head of the castle. Then in the third story why couldn't the stepmother understand that the town baker was Anastasia's crush but why did Anastasia start developing a crush on the town baker after only being invited by him into the bakery and then being forbidden to see him and invite him to the ball after being told no many times by the stepmother but at least Anastasia got what she wanted at the end of the story. And the new version of Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo is by far the worst song in the movie and they should have kept the original version but have a different singer sing it. So if you want to give Cinderella II Dreams Come True a chance go ahead but Cinderella III A Twist In Time is so much better and an actual sequel that is worth watching for Cinderella fans

Another thing I cannot understand about Cinderella II is why in the second story of the film they decided to turn Jaq the mouse into a human named Sir Hugh? The Sir Hugh character I found very unappealing and they should've had another Cinderella based story to replace this one. And what was with the Fall Festival setting? It reminded me of a circus complete with the elephant and other animals featured minus clowns rather than an actual festival
