(Cinderella's story)
Cinderella is put in charge of the palace banquets and parties, but
realizes she
doesn't agree with the way they are usually run, led by a sharp and
sobbish woman named Prudence, who takes her from her husband and
stepmother Lady Tremaine and stepsisters Drizella and Anastasia
(although the stepfamily are only seen in the An Uncommon Romance segment). 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 and not everything has to agree with traditional ways.
The mice add
Cinderella's story of her first day in the castle to the book as Jaq
gets some magical help from the Fairy Godmother
opening a bottle of ink. Proclaiming that he doesn't like ("even a
little [of]") "that magic stuff," Gus reminds him of his last encounter
with it. Looking to impress a female mouse Jaq allows the Fairy
Godmother to tell his story.
(Jaq's story) One of mouse
Cinderella 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, this does not stop Pom-Pom, the palace's snobby
cat (who became the mice's new nemesis as soon as they moved to the
palace along with Ciderella and becomes Lucifer's crush in the third
segment) from chasing Jaq around (Pom-Pom thought Jaq
in human form was worth approximately ten mice). Mistakenly taken for
"Sir Hugh", after an incident with an elephant at a fair, he learns to
be happy for who he is. It is also made evident that Jaq is in love with
another mouse named Mary and that Pom-Pom belongs to the same woman who
was terrified of Jaq.
In a magic mishap, one of the mice spills magic dust onto the art
supplies causing them to become animated. The supplies begin to wreak
havoc on the nearly completed book until the Fairy Godmother puts a stop
to it. As the mice survey the mess they reminisce how they've seen
worse and Jaq tells them of the time Anastasia fell in love.
(Anastasia's story) Anastasia,
Cinderella's younger stepsister, falls in love with a common baker,
which her mother and older sister Drizella aren't too happy with. Her
mother and Drizella still want her to marry a rich man, and convince her
to forget about the baker and say that everything in the baker's shop
is inferior; thus, Anastasia has to go against her mother for the first
time. At the same time, Lucifer (who was believed to have died at the
first film's end) starts chasing Cinderella's mice and Anastasia is
kicked by a horse when she and the baker meet, causing her to be left in
rags by getting bread all over herself and breaks in tears when she
crashes into the baker's shop. However, Cinderella finds out about
Anastasia's feelings and tries to push her and the baker together.
During the process, Lucifer enters the palace and continues to chase
Cinderella's mice, but during the chase, he falls in love with Pom Pom
despite her disliking him. The mice help their old nemesis Lucifer fall
in love with Pom Pom, that is, if Lucifer promises to stop chasing mice.
When Lucifer and Pom Pom get together, Pom Pom goads Lucifer into
breaking his promise and helping her catch the mice. In the ensuing
chase, the mice push a bucket of water on Pom Pom, and she dumps Lucifer
out of spite. The baker, meanwhile, asks Anastasia to the upcoming
ball, which her mother and Drizella are very unhappy about and Drizella
tells her mother that Anastasia's become a disaster, and that she
(Drizella) and her mother will become the laughing stock of the entire
town. Anastasia stays with the baker and falls in love.
With a sigh, the mice finish their book. They sing a reprise of "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo"
as they chase after Cinderella in an attempt to give her the book. When
they catch up with her, she asks them what it is, and Gus tells her
that it is a book about them all. Cinderella thinks it's wonderful, and
asks if the mice would like to read it together to which the mice give a
resounding "Yes!" They gather in front of the fire and Cinderella
begins to read the book, "Once Upon a Time..."
