The three stories are "Aim To Please" (focusing on Cinderella hosting her first palace ball), "Tall Tail" (in which the mouse Jaq wishes to be human to help Cinderella), and "An Uncommon Romance" (in which Cinderella's stepsister Anastasia, with Cinderella's help, aims to wins the heart of the town baker, much to the dismay of the Wicked Stepmother.)

The Disney Machine pumps again

So, I really didn't want to watch this. I work at a video store so I get to watch everything before everybody else. Usually that's a good thing. Cinderella 2 is just one pointless movie. One little plot point after another that simply joins characters back together again. Don't ruin the first by watching this one. Walt had the idea. No sequels. Too bad he's still not around to enforce that idea.
