Well, it was originally supposed to be a TV series but that was rejected for reasons I don't know as of now. So I think it would've benefited more from being a TV series because the stories (aside from the Jaq one) are good in it of themselves. I mean, the Jaq story was bad but more just bad episode bad, not bad movie bad. As a movie it would've needed more of a coherent storyline and songs (while they are good) that actually suit the style of Cinderella. I mean, having several different stories works with something like Winnie The Pooh because it's not that serious but Cinderella was a more serious story with a coherent storyline, so it's weird for the sequel to lack that. The songs are good but they're too poppy and don't suit the style of Cinderella. Those are the two main problems. But I don't think the movie is bad, it's just mediocre, though I enjoy it anyway.

I actually talked about this with one of my math tutors (I have pretty cool tutors). She believed a movie where it was a coherent story, just connecting the first story and the third story, would make an interesting story and a watchable movie. Personally, i agree, because I like the first and third stories and I believed the two combined would've been a much better film.
I enjoyed the first two stories and half of the third story (with Lucifer & the mice). I think Anastasia turned good too quickly, I like her development in the third movie more. I didn't like the fact they throw out the famous waltz knowledge that Cinderella had in the original movie. She shouldn't need lessons and where did that other informal village dance and music come from? I agree that they should have put all three stories together making one movie.
I really liked the part of royal ball arrangement and Cinderella trying to help Anastasia. If they'd have kept the focus on these two events and tied it with a nice plot and twist in it, i'd have loved it.
