Cinderella II: Dreams Come True is a direct-to-video film sequel to the 1950 Disney classic Cinderella. It was released on February 26, 2002. It was followed by Cinderella III: A Twist in Time in 2007. It consists of three segments featuring Cinderella planning a party, Jaq the mouse being turned into a human and living as one Cinderella's page boy, and one of Cinderella's brutal step sisters (Anastasia, the redheaded one) falling in love with a young baker, a low-class man that the step mother and Drizella do not approve of. Estimated to cost $5 million in production, the sequel was Disney's top selling animated sequel that year, grossing approximately $120 million in direct-to-DVD sales.

[edit] Plot synopsis

Cinderella's mice friends from the first movie narrate what happens after the happily ever after, by stringing three segments of stories together into one movie.

Fit to Plan (Cinderella's story) Cinderella is put in charge of the palace banquets and parties, but realizes she doesn't agree with the way it's used to being run. With the help of other characters, Cinderella convinces everyone in the palace that everyone in the kingdom, including the peasants, should be allowed to participate in the next royal banquet.

Tall Tail (Jaq's story) One of Cinderella mouse friends, Jaq, thinks he's too small to help Cinderella in the palace like he did in the first movie. The Fairy Godmother shows up to help him out, and turns him into a human so he can help out like everyone else. However, this does not stop Pom Pom from chasing Jaq around (a white cat named Pom Pom thought Jaq in human form was worth approximately ten mice) and soon learns to be happy with who he really is.

An Unusual Romance (Anastasia's story) Anastasia, Cinderella's stepsister falls in love with a common baker, which her mother and Drizella aren't too happy with. Her mother and Drizella still want her to marry a rich man, and convince her to forget about the baker and say that everything in the baker's shop is inferior. While the step mother isn't looking, Lucifer starts chasing Cinderella's mice and Anastasia is kicked by a horse when she and the baker meet, causing her to get bread all over herself when she crashes into the baker's shop. However, Cinderella finds out about Anastasia's feelings and tries to push her and the baker together. During the process, Lucifer enters the palace and continues to chase Cinderella's mice, but during the chase, he falls in love with Pom Pom, despite her hating him. The baker asks Anastasia to the upcoming ball, which her mother and Drizella are very unhappy about and Drizella tells her mother that Anastasia's become a disaster, and that she (Drizella) and her mother will become the laughingstock of the entire town. Anastasia stays with the baker and falls in love.
