Interesting that Anastasia turned out to be nice to Cinderella by the end. Does anyone know if the sequels used the original voices? When were they released into theaters?

Can you believe it?? So the Prince almost married Anastasia by mistake. Fortunately, Anastasia meets a baker from the village and they fall in love instead.

Originally Posted By HauntedMansionFan But those sequels ARE classics. I remember the first time I saw "Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea" -- it was a magical experience. I'd love to see Melody (Ariel's daughter) in the new Little Mermaid attraction.

The original Cinderella is magical and I know she's off living happily ever after at the theme parks and doesn't associate with any of the sequels. Not meaning to hurt anyone's feelings by saying this. Everyone has a right to their own opinion.
Originally Posted By HauntedMansionFan Well, I'd say "The Godfather II" and "The Godfather II" are on par -- or nearly on par -- with their predecessor, and widely considered classics. And let's not forget about the original "Star Wars" trilogy. With that in mind, I believe "Cinderella II" and "Cinderella III" are in line with the finest Disney classics, and as such, deserve representation in the theme parks as any of the others.

That story was always supposed to be a trilogy. Cinderella wasn't. And besides, Empire Strikes Back is widely considered to be the best of the series.
