Mistakenly taken for "Sir Hugh", after an incident with an elephant at a fair, he learns to be happy for who he is. It is also made evident that Jaq is in love with another mouse named Mary and that Pom Pom belongs to the same woman who was terrified of Jaq. | One of Cinderella mouse friends, Jaq, thinks he's too small to help Cinderella in the palace like he did in the first movie.

At the same time, Lucifer (who was believed to have died at the first film's end) starts chasing Cinderella's mice and Anastasia is kicked by a horse when she and the baker meet, causing her to be left in rags by getting bread all over herself and breaks in tears when she crashes into the baker's shop.

Plot synopsis
Intodution
Cinderella's mice friends from the first movie narrate what happens after the happily ever after, by stringing three segments of stories together into one movie. It is believed to be a pilot for an original television series, which was never put on air.
"Aim to Please" (Cinderella's story)
Cinderella is put in charge of the palace banquets and parties, but realizes she doesn't agree with the way it's used to being run, led by a sharp and sobbish woman named Prudence, who takes her from her husband and stepmother Tremaine and stepsisters Drizella and Anastasia (although the stepfamily are only seen in the An Uncommon Romance segment). With the help of other characters, Cinderella convinces everyone in the palace that everyone in the kingdom, including the peasants, should be allowed to participate in the next royal banquet and not everything has to agree with traditional ways.
"Tall Tail" (Jaq's story)
One of Cinderella mouse friends, Jaq, thinks he's too small to help Cinderella in the palace like he did in the first movie. The Fairy Godmother shows up to help him out, and turns him into a human so he can help out like everyone else. However, this does not stop Pom Pom, the palace's snobby cat (who became the mice's new nemesis as soon as they moved to the palace along with Cinderella and becomes Lucifer's crush in the third segment) from chasing Jaq around (Pom Pom thought Jaq in human form was worth approximately ten mice). Mistakenly taken for "Sir Hugh", after an incident with an elephant at a fair, he learns to be happy for who he is. It is also made evident that Jaq is in love with another mouse named Mary and that Pom Pom belongs to the same woman who was terrified of Jaq.
"An Uncommon Romance" (Anastasia's story)
Anastasia, Cinderella's stepsister, falls in love with a common baker, which her mother and older sister Drizella aren't too happy with. Her mother and Drizella still want her to marry a rich man, and convince her to forget about the baker and say that everything in the baker's shop is inferior; thus Anastasia has to go against her mother for the first time. At the same time, Lucifer (who was believed to have died at the first film's end) starts chasing Cinderella's mice and Anastasia is kicked by a horse when she and the baker meet, causing her to be left in rags by getting bread all over herself and breaks in tears when she crashes into the baker's shop. However, Cinderella finds out about Anastasia's feelings and tries to push her and the baker together. During the process, Lucifer enters the palace and continues to chase Cinderella's mice, but during the chase, he falls in love with Pom Pom despite her disliking him. The mice help their old nemesis Lucifer fall in love with Pom Pom, that is, if Lucifer promises to stop chasing mice. When Lucifer and Pom Pom get together, Pom Pom goads Lucifer into breaking his promise and helping her catch the mice. In the ensuing chase, the mice push a bucket of water on Pom Pom, and she dumps Lucifer out of spite. The baker, meanwhile, asks Anastasia to the upcoming ball, which her mother and Drizella are very unhappy about and Drizella tells her mother that Anastasia's become a disaster, and that she (Drizella) and her mother will become the laughingstock of the entire town. Anastasia stays with the baker and falls in love.

Reception
While the movie did sell extremely well (surpassing the $120 million mark), critical reception was extremely negative. Many critics agreed that it looked like pieced together remains of a rejected television series (akin to Beauty and the Beast: Belle's Magical World and Atlantis: Milo's Return). It currently holds a rare 0% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes,though this is only based on 5 reviews.Still,among users at Rotten Tomatoes,the film,based on 29 reviews,only recevied a 27%.
Soundtrack
The songs for the film were performed by Brooke Allison, and while a true soundtrack was never released, all the songs were included on the compilation album Disney's Princess Favorites, which was released shortly before the film.
Trivia
- Because Anastasia and the baker fell in love in the third segment of the film, and at the end of Cinderella III: A Twist in Time, Anastasia is just now falling in love with the baker (during the end credits), it looks as if the third segment, (as well as the other two) takes place after Cinderella III: A Twist in Time.
- This movie is narrated by the mice.
- The castle is red in this movie, despite being white in the original.
- Like Lucifer, Pom Pom became the mice's new nemesis.
- Curiously, Pom Pom does not chase birds and that she never became Bruno's new nemesis.
- The An Uncommon Romance segment centering on Anastasia looks similar to the movie Kronk's New Groove (the sequel to The Emperor's New Groove) centering on Kronk.
- Iago, Jafar's pet parrot from Aladdin was also reformed in his second movie.
- In the original movie, Lucifer fell out of the tower, but as seen in this film, he survived the fall because cats land on their feet.
