DreamWorks is the kind of studio to make sequels feel like movies rather than cash grabs. Yes, not all of their sequels do it, but majority: Shrek 2, Madagascar 2 and 3, PIB the last wish, King Fu panda 2 an and 3, the How to train your dragon sequels, etc. This is definitely something DreamWorks should be known for. The studio for making great sequels. I’ll never manage to fully know how they manage to do it, but gosh dang it, they can do it greatly!
You forgot about Madagascar 3, in my opinion the best of the franchise, with likable new characters, great settings in a worldwide adventure and a powerful villan that really elevates stakes.
The closest we ever have to Megamind's sequel is the Button of Doom short. But it's confirmed that there will be a series. As for Monsters vs Aliens, there was a Halloween special, few specials, and a TV series. ROTG needs a sequel or a holiday special.
I think one of the reasons why Pixar sequels are so bad is because they just switch the characters. - What if Dory get lost and was looking for her parents? - What if Elastigirl went off to fight crime while Mr. Incredible is with kids?
What’s wrong with Dory becoming the main lead character? Plus, there’s been sequels where another character from the original becomes the main lead before Pixar was doing it with the sequels you’ve mentioned and even Monsters University.
I don't think there's a problem with the switching of the main character, it's mainly down to the fact that they retell the same story as in the first film. For Finding Dory, the main character gets lost and has to be found while she's on a journey to find her family, but if you look at Finding Nemo - the main character has to find their lost family while technically getting lost himself - it's the same story told with the same characters but in different roles. The same can be said for The Incredibles 2 - one parent from a super family goes to fight crime while the other stays at home with the children. There isn't anything wrong with switching the characters - it can be fun and work really well like in Monsters University! (at least in my opinion) - the issue is that they tell the exact same story with those characters :) @@hunterolaughlin
OMG, can people STOP it with the Disney vs Dreamwork’s trend and just them fairly I admit Pixar sequels that aren’t Toy Story feel kinda made for money, but none of them are bad (except Cars 2) Also the sequels that are Toy Story are excellent. I’d argue that Toy Story 2 is better than any Dreamwork’s sequel (even Shrek 2) Dreamwork’s is great at making sequels for great franchises like (HTTYD 2&3) but they also make sequels for money (like Trolls 2&3)
@@finalmountain I know right! That comparison is stupid and exhausting. Trashing Disney and Pixar is a pretty surefire way of getting views and engagement these days
DreamWorks being such a mixed bag of a studio is honestly what I love about them and why they're my favorite American animated studio 😂😂 I love how you never know what to expect from them!! Not only that, but because of their mixed reputation, you never get super disappointed if their next movie isn't as great as the last. Compared to Disney and Pixar who have made too many 10/10s that when they aren't and make anything less (even if that less is a 9/10), you're so disappointed to the point you belive they have lost their touch and will never get back on their feet. Which isn't fair honestly. But atleast DW doesn't really go through that lololol
I’m my opinion I’d say HTTYD is the best film series in dreamworks. I mean the films are graphically insane but dreamworks also made many different tv series that gave massive world building to understand how the dragons and Vikings live. But it also builds relationships with the characters for those growing up with it. I grew up watching all the shows of riders, defenders, and race to the edge. Then the films are so emotional and good that when Toothless and Hiccup split I was in full tears and I am every time I see that scene. HTTYD 3 is literally the only film I cry over.
I feel like it's the most grounded animated series, the characters and story's feel more real then most other (animated or not) and Hiccup's coming of age story is so perfectelly executed it's my favourite out there, I relate to him more then to any fictional character. I also feel like they'e more art then any other Dreamworks/Disney/Pixar property in the sense that everything from animation, music, editing, cinematography just comes together beautifully, it all fits so well. HTTYD 1 started probably the biggest franchise of any animated movie with tv-shows, comics, short, what-have-you-not.
I believe that Disney and Pixar usually suck at sequels, because they won't deviate from their formulas. Pixar made a lot of films using a recipé "what if *blank* had emotions" and Disney never really tried doing sequels before Toy Story 2 came along. Both Pixar and Disney don't know how to improve upon that recipé that made the originals great. Dreamworks on the other hands is more experimental. They try many different themes, styles and stories, which is why they produce some amazing bangers of franchises, that are very distinct from one another, while that also being the reason why some of their movies are of poor quality.

@@thegiftedfire3470But doesn’t Finding Dory expand the universe of Finding Nemo? I mean in that film, we go outside of Australia to California and where the first film explored the life and perspective of fish living in a fish tank in a dentist’s office, the sequel expands to show the perspective of fish in a marine life institute setting and featuring more sea creatures like seals, different whale species like whale sharks and beluga whales, East Pacific Red Octopuses, or septopus, otters and even birds loons and expanding Dory’s backstory and her character with her love and determination to find her parents. So I’d say Finding Dory fulfills the requirements of “expanding the universe”.
I definitely thibk Dreamworks is more prepared to make sequels than Disney. Disney is still new to the (theatrical) sequel game, but I trust they'll get the hang of it.
PIB last wish was such an incredible movie. I was spellbound the whole time. I felt a lot of emotions. I wept. I felt heart warmed, I felt understood. Inspired. The color and animation styles were a joy. The story had so many moving parts yet it didn’t feel chaotic or tangled, ever! Which is insane!! A true gold standard of storytelling.
DreamWorks are the best at making sequels. Even tho they aren't great movies, but Trolls and Boss Baby's sequels Actually do continue the stories and exapand the worlds. Again, those two aren't great movies, but they're pretty ok sequels
There are many fantastic attributes to Dreamworks but I feel like their attitude to sequels is one of their best This is the reason why I am so hyped for The Bad Guys 2. I know not EVERYONE loved the original (although I personally thought it was great) however I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that the sequel will probably be even better
How did they go from Masterpieces like The Bad Guys and Puss in Boots the Last Wish to the let down of Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken? I heard a rumor that Christopher Nolan made a requirement with NBCUniversal, the studio that owns DreamWorks, that if they release Oppenheimer, they have to make sure that they don’t release anything else in between for too long, so Ruby Gilman was flushed out after being in Development hell for so long, and then take an off so that Oppenheimer would win. It’s just a theory. And the original idea had gone through so many retcons and changes in the past seven years that I doubt DreamWorks expected to succeed.
I hate it because ruby gillman is my all time favorite movie. There were many deleted scenes, some should have been deleted, some made it in the final and some shouldn't have been deleted and should have been in the movie.
You could argue that DreamWorks was founded and controlled by creatives while Disney is controlled by marketing. Kinda makes you wonder why Lucas didn't sell to his good friend's company
I finally watched Puss in Boots The Last Wish and it was soooooo Amazing the Animation was Fantastic but it was over so Fast! I absolutely Love 🧡 it a lot!
Disney direct-to-video sequels were obvious cash grabs, 3 episodes of failed shows and writers just having fun with stories that are not really considered canon. Dreamworks has only one direct-to-video sequel, Joseph the King of Dreams, which is obviously downgraded because of the budget but still in my opinion is head and shoulders above Disney's. Dreamworks sequels have more story to tell which expands the characters and their world. With Disney, they feel more like cash grabs. There is no more story and if there is the executives will push to release it before it's ready. Sure Dreamworks has its bad sequels like Shrek the Third and franchises that are just fun for families like Trolls and Boss Baby but for the most part they try to keep them separately. With Disney, the gap in quality is like night and day.
Bruh the fact that Dreamworks has multiple works that have great sequels says something. HTTYD, Kung FU Panda, Madagascar and Shrek is sooo rare. Like even Disneys sequels on DVD are mostly awful.
Very good video Aldone. BTW, you forgot to mention "The Croods: A new age", despite it being a failure at the box office, it is another sequel that people prefer over the first one, and hopefully Dreamworks releases a third one.
As someone who wasn’t into the first Kung Fu Panda, which I don’t think it’s a bad film, but it is just your typical martial arts film with the same lesson we’ve seen many times and WALL-E is still the better animated film of 2008, I definitely adore the second Kung Fu Panda. I don’t know how, but there’s just something in the second film that draws me in more than the first film.
For me it’s more of the more raw emotion in the second one. There’s definitely some sad scenes in the first movie but it really REALLY nails down in your head in the second one, they don’t hide ANYTHING in that one..and to me at least, that’s what makes the second Kung Fu Panda the best of the franchise ❤ ☯️
One thing I love about HTTYD and KFP is that they don't feel like just more, but rather the second and third chapters. Shrek 2 and Shrek 4 are also very good. And The Last Wish works as a spin-off, sequel, and stand-alone film.
Here is every studio’s prowess of making sequels ranked: 1. DreamWorks (Not perfect cuz Shrek The Third, along with the obvious that the toxic portion of the fandom STILL refuses to admit are majorly-disliked) 2. Pixar (Toy Story 2-3, Finding Dory, MU, and Cars 3 are all great IMO) 3. Sony (Minus points for making the worst sequel of all time that isn’t even a movie, but a WWE commercial that spans the length of a movie) 4. Illumination 5. WDAS Ghibli does not make sequels and neither does Laika
DreamWorks movies are awesome. Their sequels work so much. I have the Trolls movies as my favorite movies ever. DreamWorks knows how to continue on a story from an original movie. Pixar is lately in decline. Spin-offs also work for DreamWorks. I am so excited for Trolls 3 and I am glad to see Justin Timberlake having said for seven Trolls movies to be made. It shows how successful DreamWorks is, and may it continue to be so for many more years.
I think you should also talk about how Dreamwork has a lot of one off movie people would love to return too. Like Mr. Peabody and Sherman, Megamind, the Rise of the Guardians. These are cults classics that didn’t make it main stream wise, but gain a cult following, that everyone wants a sequel.
If ruby gillman gets a sequel, hopefully it becomes successful, along with dreamworks' other sequels. Because I really enjoyed the movie, but a lot of other people are hating on it for no reason! It bombed at the box office, but that doesn't mean the movie itself is bad! If shrek and how to train your dragon can become big dreamworks franchises, so can RGTK! ❤️🐙🧜♀️
@@This-is-a-commentt First of all, It's not generic. It's something new and really interesting! The krakens are the heroes, trying to stop the mermaids, who pretend to be good, but they're actually evil. That's awesome! Second, everyone probably lost their sense of humor, cuz it's pretty funny in a couple of scenes. And third, they didn't spoil EVERYTHING. Everyone's just overreacting. I had no idea Chelsea was gonna turn out to be the queen of the mermaids until I saw the movie in theaters. I thought she was going to have a mother who's the queen of the mermaids. But that didn't turn out to be the case. That was a plot twist, and they didn't spoil that in the trailers. This beautiful movie is underrated and misunderstood.
@@CoolMan1_SonicAndOtherStuff I’m glad you liked it, I didn’t even watch it, I’m not even saying it’s a bad movie (again I didn’t watch it) it was just not peoples thing, some people have a different sense of humor and find different things funny.
many people love madagascar as one of the best dreamworks movies with audiences falling in love with it's humour, animation and characters (overall fun film).
Disney and Pixar usually fail at sequels by the fact sometimes the original is perfect and peaked, so it can only really go downhill from there, where as the originals for Dreamworks do sometimes just test the waters and hold back, but the sequels naturally expand on the untapped potential with the world building
While it’s not my all time favorite film, I just love Kung Fu Panda 2. I feel like the sequel’s message of finding inner peace instead of continually letting your past haunt you is a much better lesson than the first film’s typical lesson of great power is inside you which we’ve seen in countless martial arts films.
dreamworks has a talent for building a solid base then building on top of it improving on it to make a memorable franchises......WIsh disney had that talent
this reminds me of a saying they can make a bad one off movie but when it comes to stuff that has staying power they put all there effort into making a good sequel like name one bad dreamworks sequel besides shriek 3
shrek 2 is one of the best film sequels ever made so true and i'm rewatching shrek forever after next week then its on to puss in boots the last wish i'm so excited
Same. I even feel the message of the second film of finding inner peace and coming to grips with the personal tragedy of your past is a much better message than the one in the first film which is your typical “The real power is in you” message we’ve seen many times in similar martial arts films.
One thing I like about some Dreamworks sequels is that, while you can watch the movies before, you dont necessarily need to watch them to understand the sequels. The most notable example being Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Sure, you can watch Puss in Boots to understand his origin story, but it isn't required to understand and enjoy The Last Wish. In fact, I can say that this is one of the rare cases of animated movie sequels that are better than the previous movie(s). Heck, for the most part, even the weaker Dreamworks sequels are to the standards of the previous movies within the line. For example: I personally think Kung Fu Panda 3 is the weakest of the trilogy, but do I think it's a bad movie? No, it's still a really good movie. I can only think of one Dreamworks sequel I could consider medicore to slightly bad, that being Shrek the Third, though it's not unbearable to watch. Meanwhile with Disney, the only sequels I liked more than the original are Peter Pan: Return to Neverland and Cinderella 3: A Twist in Time. Lion King 2: Simba's Pride is another Disney sequel I like, but not as much as the original.
Can you please make a another positive review for a Pixar sequel video explaining why Finding Dory worked and you underestimated it half a year ago? Finding Dory handled Dory's character much better than Cars 2 handled Mater's character, and you forgot about other meaningful scenes that Marlin and Nemo had in it, which is more than we can say for Lightning McQueen in Cars Too. This is why the Toy Story sequels are no longer "the only Pixar sequels that work."
Aldone: *craps on Trolls franchise* Me: *stops watching the video, feeling betrayed* Jokes aside, I thrink Teolls gets a bad rap because of how silly it is. But what struck me the most was how well they can still hit those dramatic narrative beats extremely well. At least that's my opinion. Its is not my favorite DreamWorks franchise (top 5, maybe), but Branch/Poppy is my second favorite couple (behind Shrek/Fiona).
Out of all the sequels DreamWorks have done, I'd say they only have 2 lackluster ones with Boss Baby 2 and Trolls 2 (I'm not counting Spirit: Untamed as it's a COMPLETELY different movie to the 2002 film) then I'd say they only have 2 terrible sequels with Croods 2 and Shrek the Third. Other then that DreamWorks have made excellent sequels and while sure films such as Madagascar 2&3, Shrek: Forever After and Kung Fu Panda 3 may have a few issues, they still have a lot of merit but the studio's best sequels really do continue the story, develop the characters even further and expand the world. They're also very good at conclusions especially with HTTYD 3: The Hidden World so here's to hoping that Kung Fu Panda 4 is just as good and possibly even better than Kung Fu Panda 2. And as for my top 5 favourite DreamWorks Sequels #1 How To Train Your Dragon 3 #2 Kung Fu Panda 2 #3 How To Train Your Dragon 2 #4 Shrek 2 #5 Puss in Boots 2
Shrek 2, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, Shrek Forever After: The Final Chapter, Kung Fu Panda 2, How To Train Your Dragon 2, Kung Fu Panda 3, How To Train Your Dragon 3: The Hidden World and Puss in Boots 2: The Last Wish are masterpieces and Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted is decent.
I don't know why so many people hate the third Shrek movie. It was actually really good, showing how important one day can be when you don't truly appreciate what you have. Yeah it may not be the most original, being a parody of it's a wonderful life, but they made it their own film. I do however wish that the kids didn't just come out of nowhere and actually some build up to that at the end of the 2nd, or start of the 3rd movie, but it makes sense.
@@DrewsterRooster37 Yeah, the film you described is actually the fourth one. The real third film is where the kids are actually built up before their introduction, but it’s done very poorly and it’s usually regarded as the worst film in the Shrek franchise and for destroying the praise and respect the franchise had at the time following the second film’s success. If you want to check out the third film out, then go ahead, although definitely lower your expectations.
I never bothered watching trolls 2, but I really liked the boss baby 2 but it will never beat every other sequel that came out from dreamworks. (Minus shrek 3)
Even though I’ve gotten over it, I still have no idea why the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences picked Big Hero 6 for the winner of Best Animated Feature when How to Train Your Dragon 2 or even The Tale of the Princess Kaguya would’ve been better choices.
I must object, Shrek 3 is still a great film, not as good as shrek 2 but on par with Shrek 1. Shrek 3 is mainly about Shrek’s anxiety of being a father.
You made a minor error when talking about Frozen 2. You said that it's the second highest grossing animated movie. It's actually third highest. "Live action" lion king is, in fact, animated. I refuse to belive that a movie with less actual real world elements than the freaking SpongeBob SquarePants movie (the first one) is not animated
Why do boss baby and troll have this stigma that they ate bad when they are profusely made for kids. And for those that say ( oh bit it can talk about deeper themes and elements) Yeah ok. Most elementary school books have these themes but are labeled for kids so what makes these movies any different. Also boss baby and trolls are hard tone shifts compared to other DreamWorks movies. So I don't really get what calling them garbage is going to accomplish when shark tale is made fun of too and Is clearly more adult at first glance. There are not many similer feeling films that can be compared.
I understand Incredibles 2 and Toy Story 4 since those films have the most divided reactions, I even understand Cars 2 since that’s generally considered Pixar’s worst, but you didn’t like Monsters University, Finding Dory and Cars 3?
Aldone stop acting like DreamWorks is perfect at sequel and disney Pixar are bad at sequel and they should stop you should ask that the DreamWorks because they are making Kung Fu Panda 4 and Shrek 5 it may sound like a good thing what story is left to tell. Shrek 4 is literally a fairy tale ending what more can you add to a close book for Shrek 5. Kung Fu Panda 4 what more po can learn in Kung Fu Panda 3 po found his real father, learn how to be a true dragon warrior and become the master of the jade palace what more can Po learn in Kung Fu Panda 4. Mainline Disney Pixar have more good sequel than DreamWorks look at the list Shrek 3 boss baby 2 croods 2, Trolls, Trolls 2 and Trolls 3 even though Trolls 3 is not available you know this is going to be bad

I remember the early 2000s when Disney and DreamWorks were already doing that
I like how, despite the original movies weren't well receive, Dreamworks still make make sequels for them that are actually good.
Some of them are my all-time DreamWorks top-tiers,especially the Paramount era
oh this aged so badly, rip megamind 2
As someone who wasn’t into the first Kung Fu Panda, which I don’t think it’s a bad film, but it is just your typical martial arts film with the same lesson we’ve seen many times and WALL-E is still the better animated film of 2008, I definitely adore the second Kung Fu Panda. I don’t know how, but there’s just something in the second film that draws me in more than the first film.
For me it’s more of the more raw emotion in the second one. There’s definitely some sad scenes in the first movie but it really REALLY nails down in your head in the second one, they don’t hide ANYTHING in that one..and to me at least, that’s what makes the second Kung Fu Panda the best of the franchise ❤ ☯️
Virgin Disney Sequels vs Chad Dreamworks Sequels
One thing I love about HTTYD and KFP is that they don't feel like just more, but rather the second and third chapters. Shrek 2 and Shrek 4 are also very good. And The Last Wish works as a spin-off, sequel, and stand-alone film.
Here is every studio’s prowess of making sequels ranked:
1. DreamWorks (Not perfect cuz Shrek The Third, along with the obvious that the toxic portion of the fandom STILL refuses to admit are majorly-disliked)
2. Pixar (Toy Story 2-3, Finding Dory, MU, and Cars 3 are all great IMO)
3. Sony (Minus points for making the worst sequel of all time that isn’t even a movie, but a WWE commercial that spans the length of a movie)
4. Illumination
5. WDAS
Ghibli does not make sequels and neither does Laika
WDAS?
Walt Disney Animation Studios
Wait what is the WWE commercial movie?
Surf’s Up 2: WaveMania
@@henrythef1guy768Actually I think WDAS is better at sequels than Illumination because at least they made Fantasia 2000
I really like Madagascar 2 and Kung Fu Panda 2.
For every Shrek movie, several million memes are born.
DreamWorks movies are awesome. Their sequels work so much. I have the Trolls movies as my favorite movies ever. DreamWorks knows how to continue on a story from an original movie. Pixar is lately in decline. Spin-offs also work for DreamWorks. I am so excited for Trolls 3 and I am glad to see Justin Timberlake having said for seven Trolls movies to be made. It shows how successful DreamWorks is, and may it continue to be so for many more years.
This aged like milk with kfp4
There is a favorite song though from Troll2 - Born to die.
Do a Video on Why Disney Sequels Don't Work,and Why Pixar,DreamWorks and Illumination Sequels Work
I’m pretty sure he already talked about why he doesn’t like Disney’s sequels
Which is why there should be a sequel to Captain Underpants
The fact we got a Boss Baby sequel instead of Captain Underpants 2 makes me feel disappointed
@@thegiftedfire3470 same. Though to be fair, Boss Baby wasn’t a bad movie. I don’t think it needed a sequel, but still
Puss in boots 2 was great
Fr, same with Bad Guys
@Ruby_and_Chelsea_Editz that wasn't a sequel but you're right
I'm curious would you take a look at Ruby Gilman teenage Kraken
They just need to break the 3rd movie curse.
I think you should also talk about how Dreamwork has a lot of one off movie people would love to return too. Like Mr. Peabody and Sherman, Megamind, the Rise of the Guardians.
These are cults classics that didn’t make it main stream wise, but gain a cult following, that everyone wants a sequel.
RotG is so underrated, it should really get a sequel like KFP and HTTYD
Pixar is great and I don't understand this new-found lack of appreciation that the internet has for it.
If ruby gillman gets a sequel, hopefully it becomes successful, along with dreamworks' other sequels. Because I really enjoyed the movie, but a lot of other people are hating on it for no reason! It bombed at the box office, but that doesn't mean the movie itself is bad! If shrek and how to train your dragon can become big dreamworks franchises, so can RGTK! ❤️🐙🧜♀️
It’s not no reason, some people just don’t like it
@@This-is-a-commentt Yeah, but they don't even have any real reasons to hate it.
@@CoolMan1_SonicAndOtherStuff some people find it generic, not funny, they spoil the entire movie in the trailers
@@This-is-a-commentt First of all, It's not generic. It's something new and really interesting! The krakens are the heroes, trying to stop the mermaids, who pretend to be good, but they're actually evil. That's awesome! Second, everyone probably lost their sense of humor, cuz it's pretty funny in a couple of scenes. And third, they didn't spoil EVERYTHING. Everyone's just overreacting. I had no idea Chelsea was gonna turn out to be the queen of the mermaids until I saw the movie in theaters. I thought she was going to have a mother who's the queen of the mermaids. But that didn't turn out to be the case. That was a plot twist, and they didn't spoil that in the trailers. This beautiful movie is underrated and misunderstood.
@@CoolMan1_SonicAndOtherStuff I’m glad you liked it, I didn’t even watch it, I’m not even saying it’s a bad movie (again I didn’t watch it) it was just not peoples thing, some people have a different sense of humor and find different things funny.
Don’t forget to review Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken. 😅
Have you ever thought if you stop asking him that constantly, he’ll likely get around to actually doing it?
@@hunterolaughlinI actually thought that if I don’t stop asking him he’ll forget. This is the last time I ask him.
many people love madagascar as one of the best dreamworks movies with audiences falling in love with it's humour, animation and characters (overall fun film).
Disney and Pixar usually fail at sequels by the fact sometimes the original is perfect and peaked, so it can only really go downhill from there, where as the originals for Dreamworks do sometimes just test the waters and hold back, but the sequels naturally expand on the untapped potential with the world building
Now I am waiting for dreamworks heroes ranking.
Kung fu panda 2 is my all time favorite movie
While it’s not my all time favorite film, I just love Kung Fu Panda 2. I feel like the sequel’s message of finding inner peace instead of continually letting your past haunt you is a much better lesson than the first film’s typical lesson of great power is inside you which we’ve seen in countless martial arts films.
What are your thoughts on DreamWorks spin off shows?
dreamworks has a talent for building a solid base then building on top of it improving on it to make a memorable franchises......WIsh disney had that talent
didn't you make a vid on this already
this reminds me of a saying they can make a bad one off movie but when it comes to stuff that has staying power they put all there effort into making a good sequel like name one bad dreamworks sequel besides shriek 3
I’m surprised Dreamworks make Great Animated Sequel when Disney Nowadays Fails to do it even though their DVS Sequels has some Diamonds in the Rough.
shrek forever after is so underrated better then toy story 4 I'm waiting for pisssed off disney and pixar fan's
Lol
shrek 2 is one of the best film sequels ever made so true and i'm rewatching shrek forever after next week then its on to puss in boots the last wish i'm so excited
Now I'm hoping we get ruby gillman teenage kraken 2 because I like that movie infact it's my all time favorite.
shrek 4 is so underrated but ppl hate it bcz it came after shrek the 3rd and its less funny than the first 2 movies
Tbh for me Kung Fu Panda 2 was better than the first movie. One of my favourite sequels.
Same. I even feel the message of the second film of finding inner peace and coming to grips with the personal tragedy of your past is a much better message than the one in the first film which is your typical “The real power is in you” message we’ve seen many times in similar martial arts films.
Only DreamWorks sequels to be bads are Shrek the third and Spirit unnamned
One thing I like about some Dreamworks sequels is that, while you can watch the movies before, you dont necessarily need to watch them to understand the sequels. The most notable example being Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Sure, you can watch Puss in Boots to understand his origin story, but it isn't required to understand and enjoy The Last Wish. In fact, I can say that this is one of the rare cases of animated movie sequels that are better than the previous movie(s).
Heck, for the most part, even the weaker Dreamworks sequels are to the standards of the previous movies within the line. For example: I personally think Kung Fu Panda 3 is the weakest of the trilogy, but do I think it's a bad movie? No, it's still a really good movie. I can only think of one Dreamworks sequel I could consider medicore to slightly bad, that being Shrek the Third, though it's not unbearable to watch.
Meanwhile with Disney, the only sequels I liked more than the original are Peter Pan: Return to Neverland and Cinderella 3: A Twist in Time. Lion King 2: Simba's Pride is another Disney sequel I like, but not as much as the original.
Can you please make a another positive review for a Pixar sequel video explaining why Finding Dory worked and you underestimated it half a year ago? Finding Dory handled Dory's character much better than Cars 2 handled Mater's character, and you forgot about other meaningful scenes that Marlin and Nemo had in it, which is more than we can say for Lightning McQueen in Cars Too. This is why the Toy Story sequels are no longer "the only Pixar sequels that work."
Trolls 2.
Boss Baby 2.
Dreamworks does sequels how Disney dosent.
Aldone: *craps on Trolls franchise*
Me: *stops watching the video, feeling betrayed*
Jokes aside, I thrink Teolls gets a bad rap because of how silly it is. But what struck me the most was how well they can still hit those dramatic narrative beats extremely well. At least that's my opinion. Its is not my favorite DreamWorks franchise (top 5, maybe), but Branch/Poppy is my second favorite couple (behind Shrek/Fiona).
(Kung Fu Fighting Plays) SONG IT WITH ME NOW ! Hooooo Hoooooooo..... ~
i think Madagascar 2 is funnier than Kung Fu Panda
Shrek Alex RJ and Barry on Dreamworks Unite
Here are a few films you should review
#1 G Force
#2 The Wild
#3 Mars Needs Moms
Out of all the sequels DreamWorks have done, I'd say they only have 2 lackluster ones with Boss Baby 2 and Trolls 2 (I'm not counting Spirit: Untamed as it's a COMPLETELY different movie to the 2002 film) then I'd say they only have 2 terrible sequels with Croods 2 and Shrek the Third. Other then that DreamWorks have made excellent sequels and while sure films such as Madagascar 2&3, Shrek: Forever After and Kung Fu Panda 3 may have a few issues, they still have a lot of merit but the studio's best sequels really do continue the story, develop the characters even further and expand the world. They're also very good at conclusions especially with HTTYD 3: The Hidden World so here's to hoping that Kung Fu Panda 4 is just as good and possibly even better than Kung Fu Panda 2.
And as for my top 5 favourite DreamWorks Sequels
#1 How To Train Your Dragon 3
#2 Kung Fu Panda 2
#3 How To Train Your Dragon 2
#4 Shrek 2
#5 Puss in Boots 2
Cap, Croods 2 is underrated much how Croods 1 is underrated.
@@memecliparchives2254 I liked the first one but hated the second one.
Shrek 2, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, Shrek Forever After: The Final Chapter, Kung Fu Panda 2, How To Train Your Dragon 2, Kung Fu Panda 3, How To Train Your Dragon 3: The Hidden World and Puss in Boots 2: The Last Wish are masterpieces and Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted is decent.
side note on the abomination called the boss baby, still cant believe a silent voice lost to boss baby to be nominated for an oscar. srsly, why
1:44 Top grossing animated movies list is mega yikes. Holy crap some of those really had no business making the kind of money they did.
I don't know why so many people hate the third Shrek movie. It was actually really good, showing how important one day can be when you don't truly appreciate what you have. Yeah it may not be the most original, being a parody of it's a wonderful life, but they made it their own film.
I do however wish that the kids didn't just come out of nowhere and actually some build up to that at the end of the 2nd, or start of the 3rd movie, but it makes sense.
That’s the fourth film, unless you’re those type of fans that intentionally ignore the third film and treat the fourth film as the third film.
@@hunterolaughlin THERE'S A FOURTH?
@@DrewsterRooster37 Yeah, the film you described is actually the fourth one. The real third film is where the kids are actually built up before their introduction, but it’s done very poorly and it’s usually regarded as the worst film in the Shrek franchise and for destroying the praise and respect the franchise had at the time following the second film’s success. If you want to check out the third film out, then go ahead, although definitely lower your expectations.
@@hunterolaughlin I was playing into the joke
@@DrewsterRooster37 Oh. So you are those kind of fans then that treat the fourth like the third film?
my guy.. dont forget to breathe
I never bothered watching trolls 2, but I really liked the boss baby 2 but it will never beat every other sequel that came out from dreamworks. (Minus shrek 3)
The only good part of trolls 2 is the rock n roll grandpa that shows up in one scene e
Httyd 2, and 3 are better than the film that came out the same year like Big Hero 6 and Frozen 2.
Even though I’ve gotten over it, I still have no idea why the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences picked Big Hero 6 for the winner of Best Animated Feature when How to Train Your Dragon 2 or even The Tale of the Princess Kaguya would’ve been better choices.
@@hunterolaughlin Ikr the HYYTD movies really got shafted when it came to awards
I must object, Shrek 3 is still a great film, not as good as shrek 2 but on par with Shrek 1. Shrek 3 is mainly about Shrek’s anxiety of being a father.
because they know better than to rehash the same story beats. Matrix 4 was Joe Dirt 2
You made a minor error when talking about Frozen 2. You said that it's the second highest grossing animated movie. It's actually third highest. "Live action" lion king is, in fact, animated. I refuse to belive that a movie with less actual real world elements than the freaking SpongeBob SquarePants movie (the first one) is not animated
Why do boss baby and troll have this stigma that they ate bad when they are profusely made for kids. And for those that say
( oh bit it can talk about deeper themes and elements)
Yeah ok. Most elementary school books have these themes but are labeled for kids so what makes these movies any different. Also boss baby and trolls are hard tone shifts compared to other DreamWorks movies. So I don't really get what calling them garbage is going to accomplish when shark tale is made fun of too and Is clearly more adult at first glance. There are not many similer feeling films that can be compared.
Ruby gillman 2?🤔😅
Pixar I think is the worse offender of bad sequels, minus the Toy Story 2 AND 3
I understand Incredibles 2 and Toy Story 4 since those films have the most divided reactions, I even understand Cars 2 since that’s generally considered Pixar’s worst, but you didn’t like Monsters University, Finding Dory and Cars 3?
Kung Fu Panda 2 is DreamWorks best sequel. Change my mind
I personally prefer HTTYD 2 and 3, but KFP 2 has the best villain
Shrek the third :
Early gang as well
As long as Disney keeps up with their nonsensical live actions, they'll stay way behind dreamworks!
I like your video. But please use the word "actually" less. In 10:11 to 10:24 alone, you use it 5 times.
DreamWorks has the most inconsistent movie's quality ever
Early gang 👇
Yass!!! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Sadly Dreamworks just made the worst sequel of all times
Aldone stop acting like DreamWorks is perfect at sequel and disney Pixar are bad at sequel and they should stop you should ask that the DreamWorks because they are making Kung Fu Panda 4 and Shrek 5 it may sound like a good thing what story is left to tell.
Shrek 4 is literally a fairy tale ending what more can you add to a close book for Shrek 5.
Kung Fu Panda 4 what more po can learn in Kung Fu Panda 3 po found his real father, learn how to be a true dragon warrior and become the master of the jade palace what more can Po learn in Kung Fu Panda 4.
Mainline Disney Pixar have more good sequel than DreamWorks look at the list Shrek 3 boss baby 2 croods 2, Trolls, Trolls 2 and Trolls 3 even though Trolls 3 is not available you know this is going to be bad
