Gus and Jaq, the mice who helped Cinderelly in the first film are back, with a plan to make a book for Cinderelly featuring some stories they made up to entertain her. Helped by the Fairy Godmother, the three small vignettes are presented to the viewer. The first short story deals with Cinderella's first day in the castle, where she has to learn how to be a princess from the snotty Prudence. Being put in charge of an important royal banquet taxes Cinderelly's resolve, but she comes through in the end. In the second story, Jaq, too small to be of use to anyone in the castle, decides he wants to be human, so the Fairy Godmother grants his wish. Of course, the results are disastrous, with Jaq almost ruining Cinderelly's Spring Festival. And the final chapter deals with Cinderella's evil step-sister, Anastasia, who falls in love with a butcher - much to the dismay of her mother who disapproves of the union. Can Cinderelly help these two ugly kids find love?
[Most popular] cinderella II dreams come true
I'm exaggerating of course, but this blanket "Be yourself" mantra that is endlessly being drummed into kids' heads is utterly meaningless when it's packaged over and over again in the guises of boring, stilted cartoons such as Cinderella II: Dreams Come True. It's such a safety crutch for timid writers that you tend to just go along because arguing against it makes you look like a Nazi. Who doesn't want their child to "be themselves," particularly if you're discussing empowering little girls (who are the main viewers of junk like Cinderella II: Dreams Come True)? But can't that message come with some real meat on those tired old story bones? Is "being true to yourself" really just picking out the right colors you want on the castle drapes and choosing chocolate pudding over prunes for dessert, as Cinderella II: Dreams Come True's first story suggests? Couldn't they come up with something just a little bit more substantial to show Cinderelly's grit and determination?
Better yet: why not just skip the whole thing and leave her and the Prince to live "happily ever after," just as the fairy tale intended the story to end? Of all the fairy tales that you could safely leave behind for a sequel, Cinderella would seem to be the most obvious one. The whole point is they lived "happily ever after." It's not rocket science. Those little words ended it; it's up to us to imagine all the magic and mystery that simple phrase suggests. Instead, that gossamer filigree of imagination and wishing and hoping that we all as children imparted on the ending of that lovely fairy tale, comes crashing down with the reality that Cinderella apparently was a fairly common little scullery maid, after all (she likes to wear her old rags in Cinderella II: Dreams Come True), and that contrary to appearances in the first film, her nasty sisters, particularly Anastasia, are worthy of our pity, rather than our well-earned scorn. Thank you, new Disney, for making concrete what I only could have wished for. Dreams did indeed come true for viewers of the original Disney Cinderella, but children watching Cinderella II: Dreams Come True may very well learn a hard lesson in pandering for the sake of a buck.
Cinderella, in her new role as Princess and Royal Hostess, discovers that life in the Royal Court is more challenging than she'd expected. With the help of everyone's favorite Fairy Godmother and mischievous mice Jaq and Gus, Cinderella finds that the only way to make your dreams come true is to be true to yourself.
As a newly crowned princess, Cinderella quickly learns that life at the Palace - and her royal responsibilities - are more challenging than she had imagined. In three heartwarming tales, Cinderella calls on her animal friends and her Fairy Godmother to help as she brings her own grace and charm to her regal role and discovers that being true to yourself is the best way to make your dreams come true.
One of the mice uses the magic dust onto the art supplies, causing them to become animated. The supplies begin to almost destroy the nearly completed book until the Fairy Godmother puts a stop to it. As the mice survey the mess, they reminisce how they have seen worse and Jaq reminds them of the time Anastasia fell in love.
Anastasia, one of Cinderella's stepsister, falls in love with a kind but common baker, which her mother Lady Tremaine and older sister Drizella disapprove of. Lady Tremaine tells her daughter to never speak to the baker as she forbids it. After a mishap in trying to get Anastasia and the Baker together again, Cinderella's mice friends (including Jaq and Gus) run into Lucifer and the minute he sees them; he starts chasing after them. Anastasia meets the baker again but the chase involving the mice and Lucifer, causes Anastasia to get kicked by a horse into the baker's shop. However, she is distraught by this and runs out of the baker's shop. A few villagers laugh at Anastasia upon seeing her covered in egg yokes and she retreats to a quiet area with a small fountain, Cinderella finds her and tries to convince her step sister to do what she wants and not continue to obey Lady Tremaine. Lucifer enters the palace while still chasing Cinderella's mice friends but stops once he spots Pom Pom and falls in love with her she sees him too but dislikes him. The mice decide to help their old nemesis. That is, if Lucifer promises to stop chasing mice. The next day, The baker buys a flower garland to give to Anastasia who also buys one to give to him. As she heads near his shop, she sees him with another woman commenting on the garland. Anastasia assumes that the baker has left her for someone else and does not see the other lady's lover as she runs off in tears. When Lucifer and Pom Pom get together, Pom Pom goads Lucifer into breaking his promise and helping her catch the mice. In the ensuing chaos, a jug of water pours on Pom Pom and she leaves Lucifer. The baker goes after Anastasia but gives up and sits near a fountain (which is bigger than the one shown earlier), where Anastasia is. A goat appears and eats up most of his garland, reducing it to only a few flowers. The baker hears Anastasia crying and proves his love for her by placing one of the flowers from his garland into her hair, the moment between them is interrupted when Lady Tremaine and Drizella arrive. Cinderella; unknown to anyone else, arrives and secretly watches as Lady Tremaine berates Anastasia. She tries to pull Anastasia away from the baker again, but Anastasia finally stands up to her mother and declares that she and the baker are going to the ball together. Rather than argue with Anastasia's decision; Lady Tremaine makes her leave, shortly followed by Drizella. Later at the ball, Anastasia thanks Cinderella for helping her with Cinderella replying "Dreams do come true", the segment then ends.

Originally presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, Rodgers & Hammerstein's CINDERELLA was the most widely viewed program in the history of the medium. Its recreation in 1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren was no less successful in transporting a new generation to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-come-true, and so was a second remake in 1997, which starred Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother. As adapted for the stage, with great warmth and more than a touch of hilarity, the hearts of children and adults alike still soar when the slipper fits. In this specially created G2K version, all the beloved songs and familiar characters are present and accounted for. However, the entire script has been condensed to better suit young attention spans, and the plot has been slightly altered so as to highlight some important lessons that exist in this timeless tale.PLEASE NOTE: All schools wishing to perform a G2K musical should apply through the Hal Leonard Corporation by contacting gettingtoknow@halleonard.com.
