## Plot

Cinderella and Prince Kit attend a picnic which the Fairy Godmother, Jaq, and Gus have prepared celebrate their first anniversary. Meanwhile, at the Tremaine mansion, Cinderella's stepsisters Anastasia and Drizella are bitterly doing Cinderella's old chores. Anastasia wanders off and stumbles upon the picnic. The Fairy Godmother inadvertently drops her wand, and Anastasia takes it to Lady Tremaine and Drizella, who initially disbelieve the story. When the Fairy Godmother comes for the wand, Anastasia accidentally turns her into a statue.

Lady Tremaine, reveling at a chance to restore her own fortunes at Cinderella's expense, uses the wand to time travel to the day the Grand Duke fitted the glass slipper on Cinderella. She uses the wand to expand the slipper so that it fits Anastasia, and the Grand Duke declares Anastasia as Kit's fiancée. Cinderella arrives on the scene too late, and Lady Tremaine destroys Cinderella's other slipper – the only proof that she was the girl who danced with Kit on the night of the ball. Determined to set things right, Cinderella follows her stepfamily to the palace with Jaq and Gus.

Kit initially refuses to believe Anastasia danced with him, but Lady Tremaine uses the wand to alter his memory, and he accepts Anastasia as his fiancée. The mice witness this, and inform Cinderella that Lady Tremaine has the Fairy Godmother's wand. The King is delighted with Anastasia in spite of her clumsy antics, and gives her a seashell that once belonged to his late wife. Meanwhile, Kit begins to realize that he does not feel love for Anastasia despite Lady Tremaine's spell.

Sneaking into the Tremaines' room disguised as a palace maid, Cinderella and the mice manage to steal back the wand, but Cinderella is captured by the palace guards before she can use it. Cinderella briefly touches Kit's hand as she is taken away, and he begins to recognize her. Lady Tremaine orders Cinderella exiled from the kingdom by ship. Jaq and Gus find Kit and explain the whole story to him; Cinderella's bluebirds then arrive with the repaired other slipper as proof. Kit intercepts the ship before it leaves and embraces Cinderella; his true memories return, and she accepts his marriage proposal.

Kit brings Cinderella back to the palace and explains everything to the King and the Grand Duke. The King orders the Tremaine family's arrest, but they escape using the wand. As Cinderella prepares for her wedding, Lady Tremaine returns with Anastasia, who has been magically transformed into a doppelgänger of Cinderella. She also creates a twisted version of the pumpkin carriage with her cat Lucifer as coachman, and traps Cinderella and the mice in it. The three of them fight back against Lucifer and escape on the carriage horse as the carriage rides over a cliff.

Cinderella arrives at the wedding in time to see Anastasia refuse to go through with the marriage, wanting true love of her own and feeling unwilling to take it from another. An enraged Lady Tremaine appears with Drizella, and the king orders her arrest. Lady Tremaine transforms the guards into various animals as they pursue her, and is about to turn Anastasia into a toad when Cinderella and Kit step in to protect her. Kit's sword deflects the spell, turning Lady Tremaine and Drizella to toads instead.

Anastasia uses the wand to return to normal, and offers the seashell back to the king, feeling she does not deserve it. The King, asserting that everyone deserves a chance at love, allows her to keep it. Cinderella and Anastasia reconcile, and together restore the Fairy Godmother. She considers undoing Lady Tremaine's change of events, but sees that Cinderella and Kit's love has grown stronger thanks to the adventure, and decides to let them continue as they are.

In a mid-credits scene. Drizella and Lady Tremaine are placed in the cellar and restored to their human forms, but are both now dressed in Cinderella's old rags, much to their horror.
