Cinderella II: Dreams Come True (2002)
I believe the title is wrong. It’s not dreams come true, it’s nightmares come true. Break out the liquor bottles and the flasks, folks.
This review contains very explicit language!!
Brief Backstory
Not much of a backstory on this one. Disney released it as part of their get rich quick bullshit.
Story
The mice create three tales, irritated that they’re without any stories for story time. The three stories are about the importance of making changes, what life would be like if a mouse was a human (aka ripping off Futurama), and finding love.
Random Facts
The banquet food – consisting of shit for appetizers, shit for entrees, and shit for dessert, might’ve been made because of the king’s hypertension. He’s warned about his blood pressure in the original by the grand duke, so it might make sense.
I almost wonder if the country Cinderella’s in is at war or something. Saying that it simply isn’t done doesn’t answer the question.
Nobody from the original is casted in this, despite that Ilene Woods was still alive and kicking. For the record though, she was lucky she didn’t have to work on this.
Pom Pom (the white cat) looks very similar to Felicia from The Great Mouse Detective. In fact, she’s pretty much just a reskin except with a collar.
Random Opinions
Okay, how the hell does that ferris wheel have any power – or even EXIST in this movie?! The original movie from what I remember was set well before electricity was a thing and was a historical fantasy tale. Did the people who pulled this out of their asses change the setting to Hyrule or something – you know, something that’s HIGH fantasy and NOT historical fantasy?!
Make Anastasia a good character? Why?! Were they on cocaine when they wrote this? She was just as evil as Drizella!! Oh it most DEFINITELY and SIMPLY isn’t done!!
Which reminds me: Prudence is annoying. Very annoying. She always reasons by saying “it simply isn’t done” EVERY. FUCKING. TIME.
No I didn’t like any of the three segments. It’s also another one of quite a few of these cheapquels (Kronk’s New Groove and Belle’s Magical World for example) that were basically three segment movies, but like the others, sucked gonorrhea infested dick.
Pros
- Character designs match the original movie.
- Makes for a good movie to watch while downing alcoholic beverages.
- Also great for punishing bad children. Make them watch shitty cheapquels as a disciplinary action! Well maybe it wouldn’t work well.
Cons (Or why it simply isn’t done)
- Cinderella came out in 1950. This came out in 2002 – over half a century, which meant that almost all of the cast from the original were either dead or ancient. It simply isn’t done.
- All three stories are about celebrations. The original involved a celebration (a royal ball) and was a central plot element, but it also had the glass slipper part. Recycling the setting simply isn’t done.
- Yes, as much as I hate to say it, this is worse than the live action remake (just barely). Being worse than a live action remake? It simply isn’t done.
- Gus bitches about stewed prunes over and over. Bitching about stewed prunes a million times simply isn’t done.
- Giant middle finger to Walt Disney’s legacy, which simply isn’t done.
- Being a movie that’s only good for watching while binge drinking Bud Ice? It simply isn’t done.
Rating: 0.5/10 – Didn’t Try
I was this close to ranking this a complete 0. It’s one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen in my life and a huge disgrace to Walt Disney. It simply isn’t done.
You wanna watch this accidental ejaculation?! Go ahead, but don’t come crying to me after seeing it!!
