Amazon.co.uk Review
Opinions remain divided on Disney’s ongoing policy of making straight-to-DVD sequels to some of their classic hits, of which Cinderella: A Twist In Time is the latest example. In this particular case, it’s actually a second sequel, and while it improves on the film before it, it still can’t hold a torch to the original.

The story this time finds the evil stepmother zipping back in time and undoing the previous work of the fairy godmother. So no slipper, no dress and Cinders with little chance of going to the ball. It’s hardly original, but it still works as a neat twist, and there’s a fair few ideas in Cinderella: A Twist In Time worthy of merit.

What’s disappointing, in common with many of Disney’s new breed of sequels, is that it’s so unambitious. While obviously produced to a tighter budget, there are nonetheless sparks that things are working here, tempered by a ruthless adherence to formula that holds it back.

The end result is still an improvement, and it’s not too bad a film. Crucially for parents, though, Cinderella: A Twist In Time is likely to easily entertain the under-tens for just over an hour, and as a result, we suspect we’ve not seen the back of Cinders just yet… --Jon Foster

Synopsis
An all new adventure featuring Cinderella; one of Walt Disney's most famous and best-loved characters.

Excellent Adventure for Little Princesses
I get irritated by adults who review children's films and rate them poorly. This is a film for children and should not be subjected to critical review by adults. My four year old princess thought it was great. For her it was a perfect follow-up to the original (she didn't analyse the voices!) Everytime she thought Cinderella had won through there was another twist which had her gasping and shouting at the screen to make the Prince realise he was making a mistake. Her favourite part was Cinderella marrying the Prince at the end and the step sister being nice after all.
Thoroughly recommended for all 4 year old princess!

v disappointed
i was really looking forward to seeing this film, probably like most of you are now, however i was very disappointed. i remember loving cinderella the original its one of my favourite childhood memories!! however i watched this and its storyline is lame, the characters all sound different, dont seem anything like they were in the classic and its so short! before i knew it it had finished. i was bored most of the time but thought id watch it til the end then it ended and i was hugely disappointed!! i wouldnt watch again and wouldnt recommend nothing relaly happens. dont waste your money. stick to the originals.

A true Fairy Tale
I did not think you could take a classic and change it as good as this.
The good still win through and i love the twist that Anastasia (step sister to Cinderella) is not a bad girl after all.
The mice were hilarious in their versions of charades!
My 3 year old will enjoy this version for years to come.
