YMMV / Twice Charmed

• Heartwarming Moments: Cinderella going to the ball as herself, hoping the Prince will accept her for who she is. Made better when he does.
• Jerkass Woobie: Drizella in the updated version is as nasty as Anastasia, but earns some sympathy when Anastasia gets the slipper and the prince. Drizella asks why her sister gets all the glory, with Lady Tremaine bluntly telling her she loves Anastasia more.
• Magnificent Bastard: Franco DiFortunato is the Wicked Fairy Godfather who wagers Lady Tremaine and her daughters' livelihoods on whether or not they can stop Cinderella from marrying Prince Charming by going back in time. Flirting with Lady Tremaine and cajoling the family into accepting his deal with a catchy Villain Song, he uses his magic to shrink Cinderella, then makes Anastasia and Drizella graceful despite his doubts at whether his magic would be strong enough, in the updated show also wiping the Prince's memories and making the slipper fit Anastasia. When Cinderella and the Prince are reunited, Franco gleefully makes the Tremaines his servants for eternity, then leaves to help the Wicked Queen from Snow White. Charismatic and cunning, Franco is never defeated and is pleased with the outcome as he sets off to make another deal.
• Moment of Awesome: Prince Charming leaps off the balcony rather than choose Anastasia or Drizella, and convinces the Grand Duke to go with him to find Cinderella.
• Nightmare Fuel:
  • Franco shrinking Cinderella, particularly with how it's posed and the Soundtrack Dissonance.
  • The updated version has Franco ask if he should cast a spell to slice off Anastasia's heel to make the slipper fit, referencing the original fairy tale. Lady Tremaine only turns him down because blood makes her queasy.
• Tear Jerker: The reprise of "In A Moment," where the stepsisters steal and break Cinderella's second slipper, dashing her dreams.
• Visual Effects of Awesome:
  • The effects of time being reversed are done with projections of the story being erased back-to-front.
  • Cinderella shrinking and the giant bed and spools of thread appearing onstage.
  • The Fairy Godmother's magic turning the black and white ball into a colorful one.
