Opinions remain divided on Disney’s ongoing policy of making straight-to-DVD sequels to some of their classic hits, of which Cinderella: A Twist In Time is the latest example. In this particular case, it’s actually a second sequel, and while it improves on the film before it, it still can’t hold a torch to the original.

The story this time finds the evil stepmother zipping back in time and undoing the previous work of the fairy godmother. So no slipper, no dress and Cinders with little chance of going to the ball. It’s hardly original, but it still works as a neat twist, and there’s a fair few ideas in Cinderella: A Twist In Time worthy of merit.

What’s disappointing, in common with many of Disney’s new breed of sequels, is that it’s so unambitious. While obviously produced to a tighter budget, there are nonetheless sparks that things are working here, tempered by a ruthless adherence to formula that holds it back.

The end result is still an improvement, and it’s not too bad a film. Crucially for parents, though, Cinderella: A Twist In Time is likely to easily entertain the under-tens for just over an hour, and as a result, we suspect we’ve not seen the back of Cinders just yet… --Jon Foster
