It has been a year since Cinderella married the prince. Both of them go to the forest to attend a wedding anniversary that the mice and Fairy Godmother have prepared. Meanwhile, Anastasia and Drizella, who are currently taking over Cinderella's jobs at the household, are not having a good time. Anastasia manages to follow Cinderella and the prince to where the anniversary is. Figuring out that magic was what gave Cinderella her "happily ever after", she swipes the wand and turns home quickly and shows it to Lady Tremaine and her sister, both thinking she has lost her mind.
The fairy godmother shows up and attempts to get the wand back
from Anastasia, who accidentally turns her into a statue. Impressed,
Lady Tremaine takes the wand and reverses Cinderella's happy ever after
by replacing her with Anastasia and going back to the events at the end
of the first movie. She made what was originally a tiny shoe fit
Anastasia's big foot with Cinderella being locked in her tower, only to
be freed to see Anastasia and Drizella leaving. Lady Tremaine speaks
with Cinderella and tells her to not approach the prince or Anastasia
and shatters the replacement slipper Cinderella pulls out. When Lady
Tremaine leaves, this leads Gus and Jaq
to appear and for Cinderella to sing "So Much More". Gus and Jaq try
cheering her up, Jaq saying that "Princey knows he danced with
Cinderelley last night!" and gives Cinderella the idea to go after the
prince and convince him that they danced together.
Skipping back
to the step family, they've arrived at the castle, where the prince is
speaking while sword fighting with his father.
They go into discussion about how the king was immediately smitten by
his queen, the prince's mother, who had passed on years before. With
Anastasia arriving, the prince is, at first, glad as he thinks it's the
girl he danced with (Cinderella), but slightly disappointed when seeing
Anastasia. He tells her that she will get an escort home, but Lady
Tremaine uses the wand to make him forget who he really danced with and
to marry Anastasia that night. The prince falls under the spell and,
believing he danced with Anastasia, gives her the ring to marry them.
Anastasia goes hyper and agrees to the marriage.
Meanwhile, Gus and Jaq had witnessed this event from a lamp high
above the scene since they got inside with Cinderella, who was claiming
to be the royal mouse catcher to stay inside. Gus and Jaq play along
and, when viewing this scene, they rush off to tell Cinderella. Later
on, Cinderella is seen confronting the prince and both are confused, the
prince thinking he danced with Anastasia yet Cinderella knows the
truth. She is cut short from saying what really happened and forced to
go find the mice (Jaq and Gus) that have come into the castle.
Cinderella is placed in the cellar where Gus and Jaq tell her what Lady
Tremaine had done to the prince, Cinderella now set on getting the wand
back.
Anastasia and the prince have a moment where they dance and
Anastasia is repeatedly stepping on his foot by accident. When the Waltz
is over, the king summons her into another room while the Duke takes
the prince out and tells her about his wife. He gave her the queen's
most treasured possession, which is a seashell. Both the king and queen
were walking one day on a beach, unknowing of one another, and reached
for said seashell at the same time. Their hands met and they fell in
love. He allows Anastasia to keep the shell, who is smitten with it
instantly. The prince tells the Duke that he felt nothing when his hand
connected with Anastasia's and is once again confused. Jaq and Gus get
into the room where the step family is staying and Lucifer tries chasing both mice, but his tail manages to get caught on fire,
prompting the famous line "Someone put out the cat!" coming into play.
Anastasia throws a pillow against him and whams him right into the wall,
the stepmother demanding that someone would call for house keeping.
Cinderella gets into the room in disguise with her bandanna covering her
eyes and hair.
Lady Tremaine pulls the bandanna off to reveal Cinderella. Jaq
and Gus get the wand and the three make a run for it down the halls
while being chased by guards. With Jaq and Gus using the magic from the
wand, they transform Lucifer into a jack in the box first, then a
mini-sized Lucifer, then back to normal when he's in the mouse hole.
Cinderella makes it to a staircase where the prince appears, Cinderella
trying to cast the spell on him so he would remember who he really
danced with. This is cut off when the guards get to her and Lady
Tremaine takes back the wand. Cinderella manages to grace her hand over
the prince's, which has him shocked and now baffled. Lady Tremaine
orders for Cinderella to be on the next ship on exile from the kingdom.
Late afternoon, the prince is seen talking to his father but
motions into a small room resembling a library. A study room perhaps. He
speaks with Jaq and Gus who perform the song "At the ball" explaining
that he danced with Cinderella and that he was under a spell. This
causes him to hurry out the room and to the stairs where he confronts
his father, who forbids him from stepping down the stairs. The prince
agrees, only to jump out the window and climb down the vines then gets
on his horse and demands one of the guards to tell him where Cinderella
is. He rushes off to her rescue so she isn't sent away for good, the
king allowing this to happen when he sees it. The prince and his trusty
steed race after the boat, where they end up running through a
lighthouse and the horse gets scared of heights. The prince is seen
flying onto the boat and using a small blade against the sail to soften
his fall. He sees Cinderella and places his hand against hers and knows
it was her who he danced with.
They return to the castle and the king orders for Lady Tremaine,
Anastasia, and Drizella to be brought into custody. They vanish and the
prince says that it is Cinderella who he wants to marry. When Cinderella
is in front of a mirror and getting ready for the wedding, Lady
Tremaine appears from a closet behind Cinderella with Anastasia in
Cinderella's appearance. Lady Tremaine then makes Cinderella vanish into
a pumpkin carriage, this one being evil with a human version of Lucifer
as the driver. The intent is to have her die. With the help of Jaq and
Gus, the three conquer over the pumpkin carriage and Lucifer, then ride
back on the horse that was used and make it back to the wedding just in
time to see Anastasia (Still using Cinderella's appearance) saying "I
don't", having realized that she doesn't truly love the prince. Lady
Tremaine is infuriated. The king orders his guards to seize her. In a
fit of lust, with no fear, Lady Tremaine immediately uses the wand and
turns them all into various animals as they all lunge for her, so they
can't get to her. When proceeding to turn both Cinderella and Anastasia
into frogs, the prince doesn't stand for this and used his sword to
reflect the spell against the two, causing both Lady Tremaine and
Drizella to disappear and then reappear in the cellar as frogs.
Anastasia picks up the wand and returns to normal then gives the
wand to Cinderella and attempts to give the seashell back to the king,
who lets her keep it by saying "Everybody deserves true love." Both
Cinderella and Anastasia bring back the fairy godmother from her stone
state, who offers to undo Lady Tremaine's change of events but the offer
goes unheard of, as Cinderella and the prince get married on that day.
The ending credits show several paintings depicting the main cast before
showing both Drizella and Lady Tremaine being restored to their human
forms, but wearing Cinderella's cleaning clothes and brooms!
