[edit] Plot synopsis
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.
Cindy Plans a Party Cinderella is put in charge of the palace banquets and parties, but realises she doesn't agree with the way it's used to being run. 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.
Are You a Man or a Mouse? - Make Up Your Mind Already! 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, he soon learns to be happy with who is really is.
The Evil Stepsister: Anastasia, Cinderella's stepsister falls in love with a common baker, which her mother isn't too happy with. Her mother still wants her to marry a rich man, and convinces her to forget about the baker. However, Cinderella finds out about Anastasia's feelings and tries to push her and the baker together. The baker asks Anastasia to the upcoming ball/banquet, which her mother is very unhappy about. Meanwhile, the mice try to help Lucifer (who survived the fall from the tower) get himself a girl, which doesn't work out exactly as they'd have hoped...
