Before Cinderella was released on the 50th anniversary Diamond Edition we could not find that movie anywhere to show Eva. What we could find however was Cinderella III: A Twist in Time. So Eva’s first introduction to Cinderella was the story completely twisted up. However, it was a good movie and I liked it because it showed her stepsister Anastasia as a person and not just a mean bully. Her step-sister Drizella and her step-mother Lady Tremaine, however were still awful. Eva enjoyed this movie very much and we couldn’t wait to get her the original Cinderella movie to watch as well. But now, Eva can watch the whole trilogy and see everything with the story of Cinderella. She even got to see Cinderella make a guest appearance in the new Disney Junior movie Sofia the First.
Cinderella is certainly one of Eva’s favorite princesses and these movies are a great addition to her library of Princess movies. The special editions have some additional special features including a trip to Princess School for a lucky little girl. There are music videos as well included in the Special Edition Blu-Ray combo pack.
Cinderella II was a decent movie with Cinderella learning that “Happily Ever After” takes a little more work than just believing that dreams will come true.
I have a couple of clips from the movies as well as some of the bonus clips from the Princess makeovers.
