Cinderella III: A Twist in Time (2007)
Direct-to-video terror awaits in the Legend of Cinderella: Magic Wand of Time!!
Brief Backstory
Rather than coming up with new ideas, Disney’s manatees went back into the tank and lined up the cheapquel combination with their idea balls while the staff was rubbing their foreskin and throwing away the creativity budget to the strippers.
Story
Anastasia finds the fairy godmother’s wand, and Lady Tremaine uses it to go back to the slipper fitting. Using the wand there, Anastasia is able to fit the slipper, cheating the kingdom, and forcing Cinderella and her mouse militia to undo the damages done.
Random Facts
Tremaine destroying the glass slipper must’ve been used in the live action hackjob they made almost a decade later.
Believe it or not, there are some people out there that prefer this over the original.
Random Opinions
Prudence is back. Least she isn’t constantly saying “it simply isn’t done” all the time.
If this wasn’t written by manatees, then most likely the writers got ideas from Paper Mario.
Disney should’ve realized that throwing time travel into everything doesn’t make it better. Just ask the ninja turtles.
Pros
- Lady Tremaine’s still threatening, though this time it’s more obvious.
Cons
- As you might’ve guessed with my other reviews for cheapquels, bad songs.
- Lady Tremaine’s punishment is too soft. A nice 30 years in prison for high treason complete with daily soap dropping would’ve been sufficient. I mean she literally cheated the kingdom and attempted to have Cinderella killed.
- Like Cinderella II, disgraceful to Walt’s legacy.
- Anastasia shouldn’t have been a good character. Don’t we all remember she was equally just as evil as her sister and mother?
- Juvenile humor.
Rating: 3/10 – Bad
The original Cinderella is one of the most vital movies to my childhood, and to see Disney pull something like this is tragic. I didn’t find it as bad as Cinderella II or most of the other cheapquels, but as the AVGN said, it’s like “saying that the shit I took last night was better than yesterday’s” and that’s about it.
If you’ll excuse me, I think I’ll go watch TMNT 3.
