I was going through my youngest sister's DVDs and I came across Cinderella 3: A Twist in time. I realized I'd never actually watched it and figured there'd be worse ways to spend an evening.

And it was actually mostly OK. The animation was solid overall and actually pretty neat at points, and the Prince is suddenly the most hilarious thing.



And this is now my response to everything.

The movie was a lot better than I expected too.
And I can't stop laughing at how the Prince just falls out of the window in that scene instead of diving through it gracefully.

I knowww haha. I think that's what makes it so amazing. If it was a dive it'd be more "oh haha that kooky Prince" and less "ahahaha what did I just see?"

...No, srsly, what is he doing? XDDD That's not a very princely way to jump out of a window.

[mipeltaja.livejournal.com]

I think he thinks he's a space ranger.
"To infinity - and beyond!"

Of course, that there isn't exactly "falling with style".

xD hilarious!

Isn't it just? XD I still crack up when I look at it.

I want to watch that movie too! lol :D

A lot of the hilarity in it comes from trying too hard to be cool or funny in a different way, but it's still an entertaining movie. :D

O PFF WTH MR PRINCE

I think I saw one scene or two of that movie, but never really watched it. The animation looked good and my sister said the movie itself wasn't bad, but for some reason I feel like Cinderella is out of character - she seemed pretty much the delicate damsel in distress in the first movie and in this new one she is tough and stuff. But the main reason I think this movie is weird is Anastasia. She was one of the characters that mostly made me RAGE when I was a kid and then suddenly "LOL I'M A GOOD PERSON NAO" DD: Although I'm the last person who should be saying that cuz I love Helmeppo and that's pretty much what happened to him XD; But still.

But then again I never really watched the movie so all I just said could be just a load of bullshit :V

I actually really like the stepsisters in the sequels. I like that they have personalities beyond spoiled brats, and that being "ugly stepsister" doesn't preclude one from redeeming themselves and finding happiness. And Drizella is just fun to watch because she's being a snarky jerk. :D

But yeah, Cindy has a whole new personality, and the Prince, as you can see from the gif, is not quite the same either, but then again he didn't really have a personality originally...

[lila-vulpes.livejournal.com]

Well, that's true - not allowing Anastasia to become a good person just because she's ugly would be unfair and just prejudice.

And I think the main thing about their personalities regards the different periods in which the movies were made. Back when the first movie came out, I think women were seen as fragile and weak, while men were all brave and stuff, and that's how Cinderella and the Prince's personalities were made. But now not only women no longer act like wimps, but making Cinderella a weakling would kind of make feminists flame the movie XD And I guess we now see men somewhat more like dorks XD Brave and strong, yes, but dorky as well XD

Also... WHY in the world was the Prince (does he even have a name?? XD) jumping out that window? XD

[mipeltaja.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they were both very typical of the time the first movie was made. And no, the Prince does not have a name. Everyone addresses him as Prince or Your Highness. The King calls him son and Cinderella doesn't call him anything at all.

And in that scene, he's off to do the heroic and princely thing, but he doesn't explain it very well to the King, who thinks he's not quite right in the head. So the king heads him off in the middle of a staircase and forbids him to take another step down the stairs. So he goes "okay" and jumps out of the window as if that's the logical thing to do.

ROFL win. Prince has now earned my respect XD But did he know there was something out there that would, oh I dunno, PREVENT HIM FROM DYING? XD

[mipeltaja.livejournal.com]

Well the next we see him he's climbing down some plant that grows on the palace wall, and I guess he'd have known it was there since he's lived there his entire life.

How he managed to grab hold of it when he flung himself out headfirst like that, I don't know.
