* SetWrongWhatOnceWentRight: Lady Tremaine's evil plot.

A 2007 DirectToVideo sequel to the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon hit ''Disney/{{Cinderella}}'', set in between it and ''Disney/CinderellaIIDreamsComeTrue''. Things happen that result in the Stepmother getting hold of the Fairy Godmother's wand and trying to undo Cinderella's fortune by messing with the timeline.

* RebelPrince:
-->'''King:''' I FORBID YOU TO TAKE ANOTHER STEP DOWN THESE STAIRS!\\
'''Prince:''' Okay. ''(leaps out of the window)''

** Tremaine spent decades as one of the only Disney villains not to not wield any kind of evil sorcery, curses, poisons, etc. So the movie gave her the nigh-omnipotent power of the FairyGodmother.

-->'''WaltDisney:''' Cinderella... believed in dreams, all right, but she also believed in doing something about them. When Prince Charming didn't come along, she went right over to the palace and got him!

* TakenForGranite: Anastasia accidentally does this to the Fairy Godmother when they fight over the wand. Surprisingly, reversing time doesn't turn the Godmother back to normal.

* OurTimeTravelIsDifferent: The time-reversing sequence has Lady Tremaine and her daughters witness Cinderella and Prince Charming not only going through their wedding backwards, but getting magically pulled away from each other, until Cinderella winds up locked back in the chateau tower. [[MindScrew Anastasia and Drizella even briefly see]] ''[[MindScrew themselves]]'' [[MindScrew curtseying backwards]].

* SpoiledByTheFormat: [[spoiler:Prince Charming rescues Cinderella from being sent far away and are on their way to their wedding... only there's twenty minutes left in the movie...]]

* ClothingDamage: Somehow, Cinderella's dress gets torn up when [[spoiler: she is transported inside the pumpkin carriage]].
* ConspicuousCG: Some wedding bells [[spoiler: and the pumpkin carriage]].

* [[spoiler: EvilTwin]]: [[spoiler: Lady Tremaine tries to trick Prince Charming into marrying Anastasia by changing Anastasia's appearance to resemble Cinderella. The "evil" part becomes subverted, though, after Anastasia proclaims she'd rather marry someone who can love her as herself.]]

** Cinderella does a backflip [[spoiler: out of a demonic carriage]], and rides horseback to crash her own wedding. That is quite a level up in badassery considering the coolest thing she did in the first movie was go to a party. [[IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine And Cinderella is voiced in that movie by Jennifer Hale, who voiced the Black Cat opposite Chris Barnes' Spider Man in that show. Ironic, eh?]]

* VocalDissonance: [[spoiler: When Lady Tremaine turns Anastasia into a Cinderella clone, viewers hear the clone speak with Anastasia's voice.]]

* [[spoiler: EvilDoppelganger]]: [[spoiler: Lady Tremaine tries to trick Prince Charming into marrying Anastasia by changing Anastasia's appearance to resemble Cinderella.]]

* VocalDissonance: [[spoiler: When Lady Tremaine turns Anastasia into a Cinderella doppleganger, viewers hear the doppleganger speak with Anastasia's voice.]]

* ClothingDamage: Somehow, Cinderella's dress gets torn up when she is transported inside the pumpkin carriage.
* ConspicuousCG: Some wedding bells and the pumpkin carriage.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Lady Treimaine. She is '''worse''' than the original movie.

** Everyone is a DeadpanSnarker in the 3rd movie. Besides the Prince, Drizella gains almost [[Literature/TheVoyageOfTheDawnTreader Eustace Scrubb]]-like levels of commentary.

* IBrokeANail: Drizella sings a line about this when cleaning dishes during the 3rd film.
* JabbaTableManners: Drizella "sampling" the party food in ''A Twist in Time''. Lampshaded by Anastasia: "What a pig!"
* OurTimeTravelIsDifferent: The time-reversing sequence of the third movie has Lady Tremaine and her daughters witness Cinderella and Prince Charming not only going through their wedding backwards, but getting magically pulled away from each other, until Cinderella winds up locked back in the chateau tower. [[MindScrew Anastasia and Drizella even briefly see]] ''[[MindScrew themselves]]'' [[MindScrew curtseying backwards]].

* AgonyOfTheFeet: In ''Cinderella III'', Anastasia's lack of dancing skills are what cause her to step on the prince's feet every other second. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
* AscendedExtra: In the first film, the prince is on screen for barely five minutes and has less than ten lines in the film (most of which are during his song with Cinderella). The sequels greatly expand his part and make him very much deserving of the name PrinceCharming, perhaps to make up for this.

* FootFocus: Anastasia's big feet in ''A Twist in Time''.
** Said sequel makes one wonder whether Creator/QuentinTarantino had an uncredited hand in its production. The movie even opens with a shot of Cinderella's bare feet running down a staircase, for crying out loud.

* SicklyGreenGlow: The Fairy Godmother's wand normally emits white sparkles when used, but in ''Cinderella III'', its magic changes to this color when under the control of Lady Tremaine.
* StarCrossedLovers: Cinderella and the Prince [[spoiler: until almost the end.]]
* TheStinger: A clip interrupting the end credits of ''Cinderella III'' shows [[spoiler:Lady Tremaine and Drizella punished to a life of servitude not unlike that they made Cinderella go through.]]

* ThrowTheDogABone: The first painting shown during the end credits of ''Cinderella III'' assures viewers that Anastasia ''did'' eventually get her own boyfriend.
* TookALevelInBadass: The Prince, in ''Cinderella III''. Guess he's been taking lessons from both Prince Eric of ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'' and Spiderman, huh. [[HeyItsThatVoice The three]] ''[[HeyItsThatVoice are]]'' [[HeyItsThatVoice voiced by the same guy, after all...]]

* {{Xenafication}}: Cinderella in ''A Twist in Time''. It's actually more true to what she was [[TookALevelInBadass originally meant to be]].

* ClothingDamage: In the third movie. Somehow, Cinderella's dress gets torn up when she is transported inside the pumpkin carriage.
* ConspicuousCG: Examples include a Ferris Wheel in ''Dreams Come True'', some wedding bells in ''A Twist in Time'', and the pumpkin carriage in ''A Twist in Time''.
* CreativeClosingCredits: The credits for ''Cinderella III'' show paintings of the characters in different styles (eg, the Grand Duke in the style of ''The Scream'', Cinderella and Prince Charming as silhouetted profiles). This occasionally doubles as a WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue.
