Cinderella II: Dreams Come True (also known asCinderella 2: Dreams Come True) is a 2002 Americananimateddirect-to-videofantasyanthology film and serves as the sequel to the 1950 filmCinderella. Directed by John Kafka from a screenplay written by Jill E. Blotevogel, Tom Rogers, andJulie Selbo, it is the first in theCinderella franchise to usedigital ink and paint and stars the voices ofJennifer Hale,Russi Taylor,Corey Burton, andRob Paulsen. The film centers onJaq, Gus, the Fairy Godmother, and the rest of the mice, as they create a three-story narrative about what happened afterCinderella marriedPrince Charming and moved in his castle along with the mice, her stepsisters, and Lady Tremaine's cat,Lucifer.
Cinderella II: Dreams Come True was released on February 26, 2002, and received generally negative reviews from critics, though it recouped its budget.
In the royal palace, Cinderella's mice friends Jaq and Gus head to a chamber where the Fairy Godmother is readingthe story of Cinderella to the other mice. Much to their disappointment, Jaq and Gus arrive just as she has finished the story. With her help, the mice set off to make a new book to narrate what happens after the Happily Ever After, by stringing three segments of stories together into one narrative.
The mice finish their book, and they gather in front of the fire with Cinderella, who begins to read their story.
The songs for the film were performed byBrooke Allison, and while a truesoundtrack was never released, all the songs were included on the compilation albumDisney's Princess Favorites, which was released shortly before the film. One song, Put It Together (Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo), was also included on the compilation albumSuperstar Hits, which was released shortly after the film.
The film surpassed the $120 million mark in home media sales.
