Storyline[]
Prologue[]
In the royal palace, Cinderella's mice friends Gus and Jaq head to a chamber where the Fairy Godmother is reading the story of Cinderella to the other mice. Much to their disappointment, Gus and Jaq arrive just as she has finished the story. With her help, the mice set off to make a new book to narrate what happens after the Happily Ever After, by stringing three segments of stories together into one narrative.
Aim to Please[]
Cinderella and Prince Charming return from their Honeymoon, and Cinderella reunites with her mice friends and her dog Bruno. She is later put in charge of the palace banquets and parties while the King and Prince Charming are away. However, Cinderella is dissatisfied with the emphasis on tradition and decides to organize the upcoming party her own way. Although he initially seems to be shocked at Cinderella's changes, the King ends up satisfied with the party.
Tall Tail[]
Jaq thinks he is too small to help Cinderella in the palace as he used to do. The Fairy Godmother turns him into a human, named "Sir Hugh," so he can help out. However, this does not stop Pom-Pom, the palace's cat, from chasing Jaq around. After an incident with an elephant at a fair, he learns to be happy with himself.
An Uncommon Romance[]
Anastasia, one of Cinderella's stepsisters, falls in love with a baker, of whom her mother Lady Tremaine and older sister Drizella disapprove. Cinderella, unbeknownst to anyone else, arrives and secretly watches as Lady Tremaine berates Anastasia, thus leading her to help Anastasia in getting ready for the ball together. Later at the ball, Anastasia thanks Cinderella for helping her. Lucifer also has an encounter with Pom-Pom, with whom he falls in love and enlists the help of Jaq and Gus to woo her. They reluctantly agree, but with the understanding that Lucifer won't chase them anymore. Lucifer manages to win Pom-Pom's heart, but when Lucifer breaks his promise to hunt mice with Pom-Pom, Jaq calls the deal off.
Epilogue[]
The mice finish their book, and the movie ends as they gather in front of the fire with Cinderella, who begins to read their story.
