I stand corrected then. Similar to the Pooh movies I inadvertantly lumped the Lilo & Stitch franchise into creature. (Shows how long I've watched any sequels.) Thanks!Sky Syndrome wrote:Lilo & Stitch 2 is parallel to Stitch! The Movie and Leroy & Stitch. The latter two movies are the prologue and epilogue of the Lilo & Stitch TV show, which are all about finding suitable homes for Jumba's experiments. Lilo & Stitch 2 doesn't deal with any of that.

Honestly? I found Lilo & Stitch 2 so sad and depressing that I only watched it once back when it was first released.Sky Syndrome wrote:Lilo & Stitch 2 is parallel to Stitch!

Agreed. That movie attempts to ruin Ariel by making her into an authoritarian like Triton was, and it deflates Ursula's original menace by giving her a stupid, screw-up sister. Ursula was only in one shot of this film--as the picture on Morgana's wall--and they couldn't even manage to design that right. That said, I did think the ice castle at the end was somewhat creative, but, in sequel fashion, they never quite pull it off.4th Life of Thomasina wrote:...but I hate Little Mermaid II with a burning passion. ...
The only sequels I like are: the Aladdin sequels (I liked the series, too, and these were almost extensions of that), the Lion King sequels, B&tB: The Enchanted Christmas, and Mulan II. Bambi and the Great Prince, Ariel's Beginning, and Cinderella: Twist in Time were all so-so, but better than the others.

Agreed. And what sucks most about it is that WDAS lost its reputation not for its own work, but mostly for the less-than-stellar work of the DTV unit.merlinjones wrote:IMHO, these overmarketed dreck-to-video WDTVA products paved the fall of Walt Disney Feature Animation.
Since, of course, most people do not differentiate between The Walt Disney Company and Walt Disney Animation Studios.

I've seen almost all of the direct-to-video sequels, though to be honest in my opinion most of them don't have that many redeeming qualities. There a few that I do like though. I have no problems with the "Lilo & Stitch" or "Winnie the Pooh" features, since most have pretty consistent animation, and I like the two tv series (New Adventures of Pooh and Lilo & Stitch: The Series). I do feel that a lot of these sequels could have benefited from a bit more consistent animation, but it's obvious that budget and time constraints didn't allow that. Especially "The Wrath of Jafar" has some abysmal animation, which is too bad, because it could have been a lot more entertaining if you weren't forced to cringe each time some character's face was jacked up. "King of Thieves" is better in that aspect.
Anyway...
Like
Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robinson
The Tigger Movie
The Lion King 1/2 (Doesn't add much to the story overall, but at least it was somewhat entertaining.)
Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch has a Glitch (I agree with Enigmawing, I thought it was slightly depressing.)
Aladdin: The Wrath of Jafar (Despite very noticeable subpar animation.)
Aladdin and the King of Thieves
Dislike
The Hunchback of Notre Dame 2 (The animation is... weird in this one.)
Mulan 2 (Female empowerment in my movies? We must fix that! Begone demons.)
Fox and the Hound 2 ('Midquels' are the epitome of unnecessary.)
101 Dalmatians II (Films created with the Xerox process should especially have never gotten sequels as they will never be able to re-create the style of the original.)
Jungle Book 2 (The voices was what made the original for me, so I knew that this was going to be a disappointment before I even put it on.)
Lady and the Tramp II
Pocahontas 2
Cinderella II: Dreams Do Make Your Hair a Different Colour (Happily ever after... j/k)
Belle's Magical Off-Modelness
Tarzan 2
The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea and Watch Me Grow a Different Personality
Bambi 2 (The animation isn't all that bad, but the original isn't one of my favourites to begin with, so this one leaves me cold.)
Eh...
Return to Neverland
Beauty & The Beast: The Enchanted Christmas (I like the antagonist.)
Piglet's Big Movie
the "Heffalump" movies
I think it's great that some people get enjoyment out of these sequels, they do give you more 'time' -so to speak- with the characters, rather than limit you to one film, only to never see them again. With that said, I think most of them are pretty unnecessary. The ones I dislike don't ruin my enjoyment of the originals however, so it's all good.

My problem isn't so much that there are sequels, but the fact that most of them are so completely horrendous. Yeah, most any Disney sequel would be unnecessary, but the least it could be is somewhat fun and not cringe-inducing. That said, there are a few that are decent and moderately entertaining, but there are so many really bad ones.

By the way, read this thread about Disney sequels if you dare:

Don't do it if you are easily offended.

Except for the very short-term bottom line, this frown-factory initiative was a total disaster for Walt's creative legacy, irreparably changing how the former "premium brand" was perceived and experienced (see also Disney Channel).
