Cinderella III (warning: spoilers!)

[Fantasmic!kid]

Have you guys heard about this? They're making a "Cinderella 3". The tagline of the movie is "What if...." The trailer was on the "Cinderella": Special Edition DVD. Can you say: :eek:

[Chris]

It actually looks somewhat more interesting than Cinderella II...

"This hair...Ewww!" - Cinderella

[carlosbrown45]

i know i want to see it really badly!!

[Fantasmic!kid]

I'm very interested in seeing it!

[PeoplemoverMatt]

Another straight to DVD cheaply-made, easily-marketable sequel. Hurrah.

-- PMM :cool:

[TsWade2]

Yeah, I wonder if the Stepmother and two stepsisters get punished, like be Cinderella's servants for example.

[Ratty12345]

Clearly, Disney is kind of running out of ideas for movies (including the fact that they stopped making those cool 2-D movies) and all they can think of are sequels to classic movies or remaking a classic movie that is "limited time only."

[brunetteTinkerbell1955]

i hate how the make sequels to the classics it kinda ruins the original, but i do like The Little mermaid 2 with Melody. and im interested in seeing Cinderella III i hope its better then the 2nd one

[carlosbrown45]

Yeah, I wonder if the Stepmother and two stepsisters get punished, like be Cinderella's servants for example.
the stepmother takes the wand away from the fairy godmother and turns back time to ruin cinderella's happy ever after.

[Mousekiteer]

So what we're probably getting is an animated, extended version of Twice Charmed?

I don't know what to think. I'm a little curious as how the animation will turn out for the most part. Or any new songs they're thinking of composing.

[Wendell]

If we stop buying the dumb sequels, Disney will get the message and stop it. However, people are buying these sequels, especially the ones with the Princesses in them because they know girls like them.

If course, some are pretty good. The best sequels have been Toy Story 2 and my personal favorite Fantasia 2000. However, Disney has to stop the DTV (Direct to Video) Sequels because they are blanding the product. How about they make movies about more fairy tales, what they used to be good at. (how about Rumplestiltskin)

But, they could come up with better ideas for an original picture of their own, with no basis in another work of fiction. They could do much better than Home on the Range, Atlantis, and others if they put their mind to it. Look at the Lion King.

Sequels do make me appreciate even more the original, and as of now I have resolved to stop buying sequels that I know are horrible, until proven otherwise.

Disney, let your Feature Animation Department handle the movies, and give them a nice fat budget, enough to test new technologies like in the good old days, and to draft a nice script. Then let the Toon Disney department handle TV. That's where these DTV movies belong anyway.

Then, stop remaking an already classic movie. Look at Herbie, of course Fully Loaded was pretty good, but I just saw The Love Bug, the first Herbie, and I was reminded in how much better that was. Those japanese guys that help them are the greatest! Stop remaking the Shaggy Dog now, and come up with a new idea. Then keep your PC claws off of Song of the South!

Disney just needs to do this to improve their image:

Let the Feature Animation Department handle the movies, most of their movies have always been good except for a few recent ones.

Let Toon Disney handle ONLY TV. Their movies are only good for this anyway.

To improve ABC's image, take the Disney name off of Recess, Lizzie Macguire, and all those others, and but ABC Family on it, so it's the pinacle of Family entertainment.

Then, to improve parks image, fire the, as PPM calls them, the PC Police, and come up with some original attraction. Then pour all the money into DLR. :biggrin:

Disney could come back to its formal glory, and Walt will again smile upon the company like he did for the first 30 years after his death. Make him proud guys.

geez write a letter.... jk. how about emailing them or something? that could help them and i agree with you about making more fairy tale movies.

[PeoplemoverMatt]

Just to show you who we're dealing with...
geez write a letter.... jk. how about emailing them or something?
This will do nothing.

This will do everything.

Right, and those were forced to be of higher quality to become worthy of being made into a movie that's played in a movie theatre. Amazing how coincedental that is isn't it? Truth is, Wendell's right. Disney makes it because people buy it. If the adults gave a darn, they would watch it themselves, realize they were buying a sub-par product and find some other way to entertain their kid, such as actually spending time with them. Unfortunately parents largely don't give a darn & childcare centers care even less. They'll buy it because it has Disney Princesses in it and Sally will scream if she doesn't get it. :icon_roll

-- Peoplemover "My nephews are growing up in a home without TV thank God!" Matt

[Fantasmic!kid]

I'm gonna watch it. Basicly because, I'm a sucker for anything Disney comes up with.

[Piglet]

It actually looks somewhat more interesting than Cinderella II...

"This hair...Ewww!" - Cinderella
Personally, I'm looking forward to Cinderella VIII---Cinderella should be well into her 40's by then and have lots of mice grandchildren....now that's an interesting story line! =)

[k_peek_2000]

straight to dvd movies. are classic trilogy killers. Sence when was there a hunchback 2?

[AlexLoup]

Luckily I'm not a Cindy fan. And thank god they have not made sequals to Sleeping Beauty (how would they continue it?)

K_peek: they have it's been a few years though.

[dreamscometrue555]

another great way to lose money for disney
hey , why not make a story bout her stepsisters
cinderella 1 1/2 anyone?

[linklewtt]

^^but they get money, not lose it...anyways, some STD movies (HA, lol i just noticed that Straight to DVD in acronym-form says STD, a disease, which these sequels are!) are a tiny bit ok. I actually enjoyed The Little Mermaid II (the songs were good). But ya other than that I can't think of anything else.

Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas was a very good movie. I was surprised that it wasn't put in theaters cuz I really felt it was good enough to be. But that's just a STD, not a sequel...well I guess it technically is with Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas, huh?

[Ezra]

Since when was there a Hunchback 2? Why was there a Hunchback in the first place? Who on earth though Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre Dame was suitable for children?! :rolleyes: It's about a high seated church official who despite his vows gets the hots for a gypsy girl and decides to have her killed to solve his celebacy problem! Hey, lets make a musical cartoon of this story! :eek: The kids will love it! Personally I'd rather they see the classic starring Charles Laughton.

[scorchy96]

Aaah, and Disney continues to beat the dead horse...or should I say mouse? There are so many creative people in this world who have written stories that would make great Disney movies, there are so many fables out there that haven't become Disney movies, there are other animation companies (ie Studio Ghibli) who come up with interesting and unique films still and haven't had to resort to sequels...I just don't understand why Disney would make stuff like this when there are a lot of other interesting tales to tell. Of course, they make a good profit off of direct-to-DVD sales, but Disney is supposed to be one of the greatest animation studios in the world, why can't they at least try to live up to their reputation?

[pumpkinkingjack]

I really cant wait to see this new movie, I just wish the trailer had more insight, does anyone have an updated one?

Oh yea Im new hear so Hi Yall!

[Robert Fuller]

I know, I love it! That movie is a masterpiece. It actually has a villain with a complex motive!

really almost NO Disney animated film is suitable for children, if you go solely by the original stroy they came from.

-In the original Cinderella, the Ugly Stepsisters cut off parts of their feet to make the glass slipper fit. On sister cuts off her toes. The prince takes her home, but a bird tells him that blood is coming from her foot. So he takes her back and brings home the other sister, who cuts off her heel. The bird tells him about the blood coming from her foot, and he takes her back. Finally he brings home Cinderella, whose foot fits the slipper. See, it's cleaner and better the Disney way.

-In the original Little Mermaid story, Ursula told Ariel that she had to get Prince Eric to kiss her byt the end of the 3rd day to remain human. If not, then she had to kill him by the end of the 3rd day to remain human. Eric falls in love with some other girl and gets married to her, and then Ariel is about to kill him on his wedding bed but can't. The sun rises on the 4th day and she turns into seafoam. See, it's better the Disney way.

These sound like the Grimm's Fairy Tales version. And you're absolutely right--the original versions of almost all fairy tales are extremely violent and do not have happy endings. I cannot imagine anybody reading these to their children!

[operafloozy]

oh please, please, please be joking. i don't think i can choke down any more disney sequels.

[alex5534]

well bambi 2 was a good movie

whaaa?! i heard the cinderella one but not the little mermaid! i was like holy crap!

[ALSil103092]

an animated version of Twice charmed looks like what it is

[Fantasmic!kid]

Next year...

Yeah, i mean come on, can we really put that in a movie? The Cinderlella thing reminds me of Into the Woods though. And what about the Three Little Pigs. In the original, all the pigs got killed except the third one.

[emma15677]

Sequels are not so bad if the gap between them is small, but a 50+ gap such as Bambi 2 and Cinderella 2? The only exeption I have in Fantasia and Fantasia 2000.

I agree, it just ruins the original classic. People may not even count the sequels as 'real stories' because it just seems out of place.

I know it's disappointing when they run out of ideas, but I was thinking myself as I plan to work for Disney, I found it hard to think of original ideas myself. It only seemed better back in the good old days because there wasn't as much entertainment around as there is now.

And I'm going to be really angry if they make a Snow White 2.

[Fantasmic!kid]

:eek: , you just jinxed it. JK :biggrin:

[emma15677]

There'd better not be a Snow White 2.

[lpetiti]

While some of the sequels were pretty good, most of them are just cheesy. I still love disney but how far will they go with the sequels before they ruin the originals, like Snow White or Mary Poppins.

[jagfkb]

Lady Tremaine, Cinderella's wicked stepmother, discovers the existence of the Fairy Godmother who helped Cinderella win Prince Charming's heart by using magic in the original film. Tremaine steals the Fairy Godmother's magic wand and reverses time, changing everything back to it was before - Cinderella still lives with Lady Tremaine and has to do her chores everyday. Cinderella and her pet mice therefore have to find a way to reverse time the other way round again.
There's the story line. The actual movie comes out february 1, 2007. It's a bit like Twice Charmed, but no Franco De Fortunado

[Fantasmic!kid]

They updated the trailer and the name:

Cinderella III: A Twist in Time (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465940/trailers-screenplay-E30551-10-2)

Fantasia 2000 i think is a different sort of thing. Fantasia was actually meant to have sequels, every year in fact. that's not possible really, but i think every 5 years or so would be cool. I'd really like to see another Fantasia next year or so and every few years after that.

[wheresmytiara?]

Another straight to DVD cheaply-made, easily-marketable sequel. Hurrah.

-- PMM :cool:


Amen, Matt. I hate those...

[jagfkb]

This one actually looks pretty good though.

[linklewtt]

so Disney has put a new sort of trailer on their site that shows different scenes from the new movie. all i can say is one thing: HORRIBLE!

yes, the idea for this movie sounds cools, and yes the animation is great, but the voices are horrible!! they are way too cartoony and dumb and at first i was going to buy this movie, but not anymore.

check it out here: http://disney.go.com/disneyvideos/animatedfilms/cinderella3/index.html

[TsWade2]

Forgive me, if I'm the most stupidest person in the world for no reason even though obsessed of Disney, but I can't wait to see it. I can't wait what punishment is for Lady Tremaine and the Ugly Stepsisters.

Speaking of ugly, those two need Extreme Makeover: Face Edition. Get it? Face edition? (Laughs) Okay, I know it's a bad joke. But they deserve it.

[DisneyTinkfan86]

I have heard about the movie 7 months ago.
I hope it's better then Cinderella 2.

[TsWade2]

I got the movie it was very funny and very adventurous. Forgive me if I'm going to be a spoiler, but my wish came true. Lady Tremaine and her daughter Drizella were first turned into toads and during credits they turned back their formal selves, but this time they were dressed up as a scullery maid version of Cinderella. That's right, they are now officially scullery maids. HA HA! Except for Anastasia, she decided to find someone she loved for her. She's in love with the baker. So, sorry if I been spoiled but the punishment for Lady Tremaine and Drizella makes me happy.

[DV Brer Rabbit]

Another straight to DVD cheaply-made, easily-marketable sequel. Hurrah.

LOL So true!!:biggrin:

[stevo505]

I thought Cinderella's voice sounded pretty.

[Mr.Fabulous]

Amazing Film!!!

[Skip]

I hate direct-to-dvd sequels as much as the next guy, but I actually think this looks pretty darn good. I watched the 8 minute preview and it seemed pretty nice... may be worth a look. Certainly better than Cinderella II.

-Skip

[disney_fanatic]

cinderella 3 = bad voice acting.
isn't disney making a movie on rupunzel?
I think it's due in 2009

[JasperGein17121]

I just bought Cinderella III on eBay. It looks pretty interesting.

[NaviMap]

After seeing the DVD, I thought this was one of the better straight to DVD sequels that Disney has put out.

[Ezra]

isn't disney making a movie on rapunzel?
I think it's due in 2009Yes. Rapunzel has been in developement for a really long time. Here's an old article about it on Jim Hill Media :
a film of astonishing beauty (http://jimhillmedia.com/blogs/jim_hill/archive/2005/08/08/656.aspx)

[Fantasmic!kid]

Yay, Kristin Chenoweth is going to play Rapunzel!

~F!kid

[JasperGein17121]

Well I just got my copy of Cinderella III in the mail today. I'm gonna watch later today.

[Mr.Fabulous]

It is wonderful. Definitely worth the watch!

[Tigris]

I loved it ! Although the 1st one will always make it to the #1 spot !!
