I know Cinderella’s Castle isn’t explicitly inspired by the Disney version because Disney is not the only version of the tale and it will be more in line with the original story, but I will be sorely disappointed if this is not at least vaguely referenced:

Crack fic idea: Floyd as Cinderella, jade is both of the sisters, Azul as the wicked stepmother ofc, & the grand plot twist is that this play/fic is based off Cinderella 3 not the original

Fun fact She is my favorite princess :D

Preliminary - Cinderella (Cinderella)

“Will you marry me, Willy?”

A redraw for this criminally underrated straight to DVD sequel :)

(yes, this is the one where the prince jumped out the window)

I watched Cinderella III last night...

It's so funny? Like I can't remember if I ever sat down and watched the thing in its entirety before but I remember seeing certain scenes turned into memes and even with context they're still hilarious.

But I think what impresses me more is how it doesn't shy away from the original story material. Everyone still feels very much in character.

After 20 years of "hot takes" on the internet about Disney princesses having to rely on men and Disney themselves shying away from romantic subplots, it was great to see Cinderella have a full range of emotions, and still want love. She can cry and not be seen as weak, she can chase her dream, have courage, and choose kindness over revenge.

I also enjoy how it uses magic and fate to demonstrate the true nature of Cinderella and Prince Charming's relationship. Like, even in an alternate timeline where their happily ever after has been snatched from them, they still gravitate towards each other.

And in the original timeline (which apparently is gone, spoilers lmao) they were happy and accepting of each other. The prince is just...aware of the mice and the blue birds and treats them like friends. Cinderella and Charming go horse riding together. The fairy godmother just...hangs around? Like everyone is very chill, except of course Lady Tremaine and the step sisters.

Mere seconds after learning how Cinderella got her happily ever after, Lady Tremaine not only accepts the existence of magic but immediately uses it to get revenge. Drizella is quick to join her, whereas Anastasia is reluctant. Similar to Cinderella 2 (which is still kinda canonical but hasn't happened yet?) she's redeemed here and has a subplot where she decides she can't take someone else's happiness in pursuit of her own.

All in all, good film. Probably the best of the Direct to DVD sequels in terms of story and animation. (Aladdin 3 is my personal fav overall but that one was on video cassette and also meant to close up the tv series, so it's a little different)

I hope in the future Disney learns to expand on the worlds of their stories instead of altering them to meet changing social standards. Like, it's okay to have love interests, characters motivated by revenge, a hint of magic, and the occasional prince.

Animated 9: Cinderella III: A Twist In Time v Return To Never Land

Cinderella III {original-Cinderella (1950)}

It is in the words of Seamus Gorman 'A Masterpiece'. In his series reviewing the Disney Sequels it was considered the benchmark to measure all other Disney Sequels by. I don't remember which sequel got the damning 'It was good but it was no Cinderella III: A Twist in Time.' This movie has it all: time travel, characters with 3d personalities, that one iconic meme where the king says 'I forbid you to take another step' and the prince jumps out the window. Its so silly, its so fun, it is a masterpiece. Link to the Seamus Review:

~Anastasia redemption arc and character development ~The cat, lucifer, gets more screen time ~The king has a backstory

Time travel, and the prince. "But the talking mice say she's the wrong girl" " I forbid you to take another step down these stairs!" "Ok!*jumps out the window*"

Return to Never Land {originial-Peter Pan (1953)} *spoilers?*

It follows Wendy's canonical daughter Jane, in every version of the story where Peter returns to the Darling's window, he meets Jane, and this story gives her her own adventure. with Wendy as a turn of the century child, it isn't too much of a stretch to assume Jane would be growing up in the middle of a deeply contentious time in British History, that being the London bombings of World War 2, and Unlike Wendy, whom needed to understand that she didn't WANT to never grow up and embrace her coming maturity as it arrives, Jane had been thrown into a position in her family where she had needed to grow up too fast, and in her trip to Neverland understand the importance of that child-like wonder she had nearly lost.As such, she starts out deeply skeptical and frustrated by the nonsensical nature of Neverland, and being more trusting of adults than of children whose attempts of 'playing with her' were little more than bullying with the thin veneer of 'just a game', which ultimately allows her to be manipulated by Hook. But even then manages to grow attached to the lost boys and connect with Peter and due to her inability to fly for most of the movie had almost fully integrated into the world of Neverland and became the first Lost Girl by the time of the third act.While it's held back by the painfully early 00's music it's ultimately a very compelling story about a child in a deeply traumatizing situation finding temporary haven in a place untouched by the war that had so deeply distorted her worldview and ultimately reclaiming her right to have a childhood after constant danger of death and destruction had nearly wrenched it from her entirely.(also there's no racist Native American stereotypes that exist just for the sake of themselves and could have easily been some sort of fantasy species but nahhh it was the 50s so native americans were SUPER okay to be racist about/s)

Cinderella III: A Twist in Time (2007)

202nd edit of mine and inspired by @thenamelessdoll this edit here and I am actually really glad how the coloring change worked out. Belle being paler was tricky, until I layer one image of the screenshot overall the lighter, but one layer kept her outfit + hair same tint. John actually looks way more alive with darker hair like Belle. XD I am so glad too I found that screenshot or scene of Charming (or Christopher @airasora ;D) looking shocked and if edited a bit, his hand looks out reached. “No John, come back, I want you, not her”.
