Walt Disney’s quote “We don’t make movies to make money, we make money to make more movies” is actually coming to fruition in this day and age. From a business perspective this makes sense but I miss the creativity aspect Disney had. It’s also sad that several other movie studios like Dreamworks and Illumination are following this path too of multiple sequels and milking franchises.
It’s something I’ll always adore and admire about Studio Ghibli. The closest thing they’ve done to a sequel was The Cat Returns, which is technically a spin-off of Whisper of The Heart. Tho, there is speculation on a Nausicaä sequel. Regardless, every film stands on its own and says everything they want to within their runtime
I mean, he is not wrong. In terms of Pixar, they need money to continue making films. People asked for original content instead of sequels. They made 5 original movie since 2020. Yet no one wanted to love these films. They all complained about films are not being like old Pixar. Three of them victim of Covid and D+. Elemental is victim of marketing. It got too much hate for no reason. I still don't understand that much hate. I'm not defending Disney and Pixar but people nowadays don't like anything and complaining, hating everything.
@@Dora-xi5ob I have a feeling that he's gonna get fired along with the entire Disney board during the annual shareholders meeting on April 3rd due to Nelson Peltz (and even Elon Musk) winning the proxy war by convincing the shareholders to vote against keeping both Iger and the Disney board around because of all the money that the company keeps losing. I really hope that does happen. 🤞
It's so unnecessary. Toy Story 3 was heartbreaking, but I feel like it was a great ending to the franchise. Andy gives away his toys and allows them to brighten the life of the next child who plays with them. "Why they would continue it after that is beyong me" is what *want* to say, but I know it's because they want to milk it for all its worth.
Anyone notice that as soon as John Lasseter was put in charge of Disney animation, Disney stopped making sequels, but once he was fired, Disney starts making sequels again? There are a few Disney sequels that I'm glad exists, but Walt Disney hated the idea of sequels and remakes. He viewed each film as an experiment. And if an experiment is successful, why do it again?
I’m sure had Walt lived longer, he would’ve made an exception for Toy Story 2 to be made considering that one came from a passionate motivation to continue the story and explore not only Woody’s history as a rare collector’s item based on an obscure in-universe character from an equally obscure children’s show, but the next psychological implications in a toy’s life where not only do they have to deal with their own morality like falling apart or voice boxes not working as properly anymore, but the morality of their owners as they inevitably get older and outgrow them and play less with them or take them everywhere they go. Also helping that John’s motivation for making the sequel from seeing a little boy at an airport holding a Woody doll and being excited to show it to his father and telling it to Walt would’ve moved him enough to let John and the crew make the sequel.
The last 5 Disney animation movies have been originals… so to say this is a way to stop them is silly. We’ve only been told about sequels at that studio, but they are surely working on originals as well. Just go watch them. Which people haven’t been doing. Which is why we are where we are.
New ideas can be costly and not as effective as a established brand of movie and characters. A franchise can bring in money new ideas can flop and not even bring much money but all the money you invest in the new movie/project could go down the toilet
@@facusmendoza1061 I think it’s more like they havnt put much effort into the new ideas . Like wish, it was just no effort, the story wasn’t complete and stripped of anything interesting. The characters weren’t developed nor the story made sense of expanded.
I honestly can't blame disney for only making sequels now - their originals haven't been doing as well in comparison (other than Encanto). I mean at this point their heart/soul is just gone & I don't think we're getting it back.
Part of the reason they don’t do well is cause of marketing you barely know if they’re coming out think about Turning Red and Elemental which we’re both pretty good
The rescuers down under is one of the best sequels that've seen. It's better than ralph break the internet and frozen 2. We need a spin-off from the 1990s the rescuers down under with jake in 2d.
Lion King 2! But both are very awesome, I legit always saw Down Under as a movie instead of a sequel, considering Penny and the other characters aren’t even mentioned
What about Cinderella 3? It gives a personality to the prince, making him charming; brave and funny; nastadia is more developped too and a likable character, the action is fun, the animation and backgrounds are pretty. It's a good movie 🙂
i just wish they’d make a fun sequel/threequel like cinderella 3 again. it wasn’t even that serious, just a silly time, but the characters still felt lifelike and less like fairytale roles being played out as the original felt.
I kind of like that idea. And for the love of god, bring back Roxanne. If there was one thing about the 2nd Goofy movie that ticked me off, it was the lack of Roxanne.
It’s always been my belief that an ideal sequel should complement the first in many ways. It should be a logical step forward in the development of the characters, story, and world. A lot of the Disney sequels don’t do this for me, even some of the Pixar sequels. The oncoming onslaught of sequels most definitely feel like cash grabs, and I can’t imagine any of these besides Inside Out 2 and MAYBEEEE Moana 2 or Zootopia 2 being at least serviceable and complementing their previous films. The way of business and especially of Disney tho is to milk a prize cow absolutely dry, even if it’s the bones that are being milked…
Honestly the biggest issue with Disney Sequels isn't that they are just bad most the time. It's that they usually destroy the first movie in some way by changing the story/character etc in such a way that weakens the original.
@@Joe-rz3fd Yeah also things like Hunchback 2 in where Quasi goes back to moping around and wanting more after singing about how he'd be happy with one day on the street. All because he doesn't have a girlfriend.
Its baffling like has Disney forget that their hits exist BECAUSE they invested in experimental bold ideas which were complete stories like what else can they do ? For me Toy Story 4 didn't need to exist at all.
It’s hard not to look at Disney’s current release schedule for the rest of the 2020 decade and be like, “Yeah! Maybe there’s TOO many sequels and the studio is OVERDOING it”. Granted, I am excited for Inside Out 2 since that has the most potential and I’m cautiously optimistic about Moana 2 and Zootopia 2, but I do feel like sequels like Frozen 3 & 4 and Toy Story 5 are TOO MUCH and not really that necessary considering their respective sequels ended.
Honestly for me I’m fine of Frozen 3 and 4 for which I heard there going to be a two part story which hopefully doesn’t take long to release not like Fast X ends on cliffhanger which we have to wait like 3 years or more for the last movie. Hopefully the story does something interesting for the franchise. As for Toy Story 5 like no more after this movie because no one asks for another Toy Story movie which I like 4 but how 3 ended that was perfect to end and 4 did good but why another movie.
I think of all the sequels announced Zootopia 2 is the one I'm especially looking forward to. I feel like there's still so much they can do with that franchise.
To quote Travis Knight, CEO and President of Laika Studios: "I take a firm stand against sequels. My industry brethren are a little shocked at how firmly I’m committed to not doing sequels. Of course there are great sequels. The Godfather: Part II, The Empire Strikes Back. But I think if you look at where our industry is going, it’s dominated by franchises and brands, redos, remakes, sequels and prequels, where all these old presents are rewrapped and offered up as new gifts. The way we approach our stories is we imagine each film as if it’s the most meaningful experience of our protagonist’s life. If that’s your point of view, your sequel is automatically either going to be (A) a diminishment of that - is it the second most important experience of your protagonist’s life? Or, (B) you’ve got to crank up the volume so much, everything’s sensory overload, and becomes comical how much you have to ratchet it up to justify its existence. I’m not interested in that. I don’t want to do that. I want to tell new and original stories." This pretty much sums why studios like Laika or Cartoon Saloon don’t ever produce a sequel.
Laika and Cartoon Saloon are also both private companies, which means their shareholders are a small, select group of people. With public companies like Disney, just about anybody can become a shareholder and influence the company's business practices, for better or for worse (and when it comes to artistic mediums, it's almost always for the worse). Then again, Disney has been public since 1940 and didn't start seriously committing to making sequels until the 1990s.
Not Inside Out 2. That one at least has potential in taking a similar page from the Toy Story sequels before the 4th film and having the main human child, this case Riley, also grow with her audience as most of the younger kids who saw Inside Out nearly a decade ago are also going to be entering their teens and having her and her personified emotions dealing with the next stage of her life and the oncoming obstacles they’re going to have to navigate; especially made harder with the development of new emotions. And… no! Don’t even bother complaining about the addition of new emotions and it “contradicting the post credits scenes of the first film where every kid and adult had the same 5 basic emotions” as I already can tell that’s what you’d do in your reply.
Remember the good ol days of when Disney was making direct to DVD sequels? THOSE at least had actual potential (and some didn’t), unlike the ones we have right now modern day
Even though they weren't particularly good movies, I loved how well Melody was written in The Little Mermaid 2 and it was fun to see how Ariel was struggling to be a good mother finding a balance between her daughter's safety and her happiness. I also loved how mature Mowgli had become in The Jungle Book 2 and I loved how well written his relationship with Shanti was and how they bring out the best in each other and complete each other.
Same, I know a lot didn’t like Little Mermaid 2, but I really enjoyed it. I actually relate to Melody a lot more as a character than Ariel tbh. Ones like Hunchback 2 actually had a lot more potential to be a decent movie if the plot of Quasi getting a girlfriend wasn’t plastered EVERYWHERE in the movie
I, for one, like Lion King II Simba's Pride and Little Mermaid II Return To the Sea. As well as Brother Bear II. - I've seen Hunchback of Notre Dame II once, but don't really like it as much as the first. (and haven't watched it again since) - Seen Aladdin II Return of Jafar, and III King of Theives a few times, but grew to where I don't like them as much as the first. - Keep going back and forth between liking and not liking Mulan II (though I do have its songs in my playlist) - Like An Extremely Goofy Movie okay - Seen Cinderella II a few times as well, but haven't seen the third - Watched Lion King 1 1/2 once - Also watched Return To Neverland a handful of times and liked it (almost forgot about that one) - Rescuers Down Under, seen once - and Pocahontas II Journey To the New World (I think), I've seen once I think that's it as far as 'straight to video/dvd' goes. [though since Rescuers Down Under was part of the Disney Renaissance, it may've been a theatrical release]
There is actually one sequel I’m looking forward to this year. Inside Out 2. It has the potential to tread new ground while sending an important message to modern children and parents, showing all the stress and negativity a modern middle schooler must experience, and how one can learn to face it. Also if she gets another commercial jingle stuck in her head I’m going to lose it. 😂 But yeah, I’m not sure if any other sequel movie can do that without tearing apart the message of its predecessor.
I still don't think Frozen 3 will get a billion in boxoffice (contrary to what everyone else and especially reddit believe). Frozen 2 was such a mess it killed any interest that people had in this franchise.
Honestly, was anyone even interested in a 2nd Frozen movie at all? The hype kind of died down after a while following the first movie, and let's be honest, they were really starting to force Olaf on everyone, rather than focusing on the sisters, the actual main characters, and the 2nd movie just had a jumbled mess of a plot. The 3rd one is really going to have to pull out all the stops if it wants to succeed.
@@rdphoenix07well, Frozen 2 was released in an era were people were still willing to throw money to watch in theaters. So most of the box office income came from that. Now though, with streaming providing a cheap alternative, Frozen 2 might not have been as successful if it were to released now
I hate that Disney nowadays seems so scared of producing their own original content. I've never been much of a Disney fan, but I occasionally go to the cinema to see their movies. I can count the movies by them that I genuinely liked in the last few years on one hand and it's sad
@@lexramstudios1386 Yeah, you're right. I saw both of them and to me they were really boring - couldn't even finish Strange World and kinda had to force myself to sit through Wish. Would be nice if they could make some new stuff that's actually interesting
@@bleach.for.my.eyes. I saw Wish in theaters and I liked it as for Strange World I only saw clips of the movie and there were some parts that makes me laugh
What about Encanto and Raya and the Last Dragon? Those were originals as well. We haven’t seen a sequel in 5 years from them. How is that being scared? If you’re talking about Disney at-large, then I can’t blame you haha. But you should also look at individual studios as well. Especially if you’re referring to Disney animation. Up until this point, they’ve been doing a ton of original ips
@@lexramstudios1386 the true reason of why they have bombed it's they have been mediocre Original animated features true problem it's not because they don't work anymore it's because they need to have great stories that could be more creative more inspirational that needs more heart an effort in order to convince people to go and see it on the big screen wish and strange world weren't those films they treat audiences as idiots
Instead of unecessary sequels; Frozen 3 and 4, Toy story 5; why not making a show about Treasure planet? Wouldn't it be fun to see Jim, as a captain, exploring differents planets or fighting various aliens? He could talk to his mother with a hologram-watch; maybe return home after a month to visit Amelia, Dopler and their kids? There's so many creative things to do with that concept; creating planets, villains etc. I want to see that 🙂
It wouldn’t be the same without many of its original cast, especially Barrie Ingham and Val Bettin, to be honest. No replacement could ever top the voice performances of those respective deceased actors.
The animation and some of the music were the only things I liked about it. It has a really nice color palette too. But animation alone is not enough to keep a story engaging and nothing can salvage Frozen II's terrible writing. I think the filmmakers forgot that writing is also an art form.
It would be easier if Disney learned their mistakes from wish and confirm Bluebeard and Penelope the adaptation of The Princess and the Pea but no it seems that Disney needs to find a successful critically and financially I'm concerned that there won't be no original idea from Walt Disney Animation Studios for a while
Its so frustrating how Disney just REFUSES to learn their lesson. They _only_ care about money, not about making _good_ movies. All their original movies end up on Disney+ and have terrible marketing, and even then they don't have as good writing as they should, and then they act surprised that they don't make money. They keep making stupid sequels because people keep going to see them, HOPING they'll be good. Even if they walk out of the theater disappointed, its too late. The damage is done... You can't refund a movie ticket if you already watched the movie.
Since you did a Disney ranking of Disney Heroes and Villians you should do a rankings of Disney parents. We already know that Buck Cluck, Yeager Clade and Anna's parents are the worst
Disney was supposed to go back to 2d. When I heard that disney will make sequels, I was really disappointed. Zootopia 2 is the only sequels that could work if there's a new art style. If no, I won't watch that movie. 3d Sequels from the 2010s movies won't save disney. What will save disney are a new art style like puss in boots the ladt wish or like in paperman, an original story and no messaging.
As of writing, Disney is still convinced that "realistic=good". While their 3D animation is impressive on a technical level, after a certain threshold, the casual audience stops noticing all the little flourishes and attention to detail. This is a problem because Disney and Pixar invest significantly into their animation technology.
@@davidhong1934 it would be easier if they move on with the Princess and the pea as a film that follows the same animation style as wish that follows spider verse and returning to hand-drawn with Bluebeard instead off turning Moana TV series into a sequel
Disney needs to start planning for sequels rather than greenlighting them based on success, imo. They're still getting their footing, though I was pleased with Frozen 2.
Disney really needs to take notes from DreamWorks on how to make great sequels. Aside from Toy Story 2 and 3, many of their other sequels are nowhere near as strong as their originals. They don't seem to have the same type of magic. When it comes to DreamWorks, their sequels tend to be even better than the first film of each of their franchises, especially when it comes to the second film in the franchise. From Shrek to Kung Fu Panda to How to Train Your Dragon, the first films of each were fantastic. Yet somehow, the second films in each franchise managed to surpass the quality of the first film. Sure, they tend to struggle a little bit with the threequels. But even they can be enjoyable as well (except Shrek the Third). I still remain hopeful for Disney and Pixar in the future. However, if they get into a habit of just making sequels and very few originals, that could end up being a problem. That being said, I hope these upcoming sequels have good stories and are not just cashgrabs. The one I really have the most hope for is Zootopia 2 and that's it. But I'm still gonna give them a chance and hope for the best.
Even during the golden ages, Disney films primarily focus on legends and fairy tales and stories that kinda sorta already exist. They may expand upon the original source, sure, but the core is primarily something that already exists. As a result, they don't really have the foundation to continue on past "And they lived happily ever after". Dreamworks and Pixar, however, make mostly original stories from the word go, and thus have new characters in new worlds with rules and lore established. They know how to make the foundation, they know what makes each character tick, and have more freedom to explore where they might go.
I’d at least give Zootopia’s sequel a chance. Out of all these sequel announcements, Zootopia makes the most sense. In some ways, it can be seen as a one-off story but it has the advantage of having built a whole world that is left to be explored more so should Disney make that sequel and make it right and wonderful then I think they’ll have a real winner and potential for a whole franchise that can last them a very long time just so long as they know how to tell stories correctly and not constantly make them about just Nick and Judy. There’s a lot of room for more new stories, characters and even life outside the city of Zootopia.
*List of Walt Disney Animation films that might come out in the Novembers (save for the first one) 2020s (aka the “Disney+ - Sequel Eras)* 2020 (or early 2021, for that matter) - Raya and the Last Dragon 2021 - Encanto 2022 - Strange World 2023 - Wish 2024 - Moana 2 2025 - Zootopia 2 2026 - Frozen 3 2027 - Frozen 4 2028 - Mickey Mouse: 100th Anniversary (who saw that coming?) 2029 - Bluebeard (you know how originally, it was rumoured to come out as WDAS’s 63rd film on 11/27/2024? How the times have changed when we were getting a Moana sequel that can only work if they give us new ideas for gods and make Tamatoa the antagonist, Schaffrillas memes aside. I mean, I don’t want to jinx it even if I likely will, but it could be a cancelled WDAS film like Gigantic, if only we could keep our hopes up for it to finally be greenlit after years of cancellation that put a stain on the animators and filmmakers’ hard work)
The last sequel I watched was Frozen 2, which did exceptionally well... in the visual department. The rest was a jumbled mess. What irked me the most was the whole "5th element" part, especially because that 5th element WAS A FORM OF ONE OF THE OTHER FOUR!!!! Seriously, they couldn't have watched A:TLA or, you know, studied a gradeschool science textbook, to know that ice is a form of water? Pathetic. Speaking of A:TLA, they did a phenomenal job in regards to the "four elements" part. They considered everything about the elements. They asked themselves, "If fire/air/water/earth was a person, who would they be?" And a city, and a fighting style, and a location, and a religion, etc. Haven't seen much of LOK yet, but heard it's OK but not as good as the original.
Let's see, the DVD sequels that Disney released at that time were not so bad, they were enjoyable and I enjoyed knowing how the story continued, meeting new adventures and more characters, or also prequels or spin offs.. although sometimes it is not necessary to create them, when the story already feels complete, but if there is still something to expand it's okay. But lately they are making too many sequels that are already making me worried about what they will do and if it will be good, I'm worried about Toy Story 5, Zootopia 2, Inside out 2, and Frozen)
Aladdin imo had decent sequels as it had a beginning, middle, and conclusion. We had the original movie, the sequel with Jafar’s revenge which set up the TV series, which went into and led to the third film which finally had Aladdin and Jasmine get married.
In the 90's, early 2000's and 2010's the Disney fan in me had so many delicacies to enjoy. Now, in the near future, it looks like my inner Disney fab has to eat cheap Ravioli from a can and sugar sandwiches.
I am beyond disappointed that we've entered a new age of sequels for the disney umbrella. What sucks even more is that during the time Pixar was making a bunch of originals, that a-hole bob chapek wouldn't let them thrive in theaters. Now the company has this dilussion that original ideas can't work but they can!
I think we need a review about the post renaissance Disney films. I also bet that a review about the bad batch would intreats many. Lastly, can you please review all of the rest of Sony animation movies during the release of Spider-man Beyond the Spider-verse.
How about this? We get one more sequel in 2027 and I want it to be Encanto 2 because come on I want to see more of the amazing Madrigals. Then in 2028 we get an original movie and it would be a fully hand drawn 2D Mickey Mouse film in celebration of his 100th anniversary. That sounds good to me.
Sequels/midquels that I liked: Lion king 2 Lion king 1/2 (it was entertaining) Bambi 2 (might even enjoy over the original) Jungle book 2 Brother bear 2 The rescuers down under (I prefer this one over the original) Cinderella 3 Aladdin 2 and 3
I think some of these sequels have a chance to get saved from being flops. For example I have heard that Frozen 3 is possibly going to get a release in 2026. If activist Nelson Peltz (now partnered up with Elon Musk) can buy Disney and fire the people who have been making the already released movies be poorly written woke disasters and have those people be relpaced by people who do care about the franchises that Disney has. Then the unreleased movies could likely get delayed so they can be rewritten to have a better story plot then get released as successful entertaining movies instead of being new flops. Also there could finally be an end to those horrible unwanted live-action remakes if those greedy people especially CEO Bob Iger, get fired and are never allowed to have a job in the Disney company again.
I think Disney's logic might be: Instead of making glorified movies as tv shows (like what Marvel and Star Wars are doing), They wanted to make glorified tv shows released as a theatrical blockbuster. Just so, those tv shows-repurposed-as-movies could get money both from the box office and from streaming
Onward, Soul, Raya, Luca, Encanto, Turning Red, Lightyear, Strange World, Elemental and Wish... 10 original films within 4 years, without a single sequel, and for various reasons they all either underperformed or outright bombed. 10 original films in a row. None of them gigantic hits. And people are upset they're going back to sequels? These sort of videos are so whiny and tone deaf it's not even funny.
I think that sequels and reboots and requels Also take away the authenticity of the original. A franchise like rocky or Harry potter makes sense chronologically. Waiting 15 to 30 years after an og film to make another movie, cheats the fans who aren't young anymore because how do we know we will live long enough to see the conclusion of our favorite characters?
From Wikipedia, it stated in 2014 that wreck it Ralph 2 was originally going to include tron and Mario making an appearance, 4 years later, that was thrown out the window, infavor of popular Disney brands😡 6:30
For Mario, I think it's more like Nintendo being incredibly protective of their mascot (after the fiasco that was the live action Mario movie) and the Disney writers didn't particularly like being creatively restricted by them. Illumination managed to get away making a Mario movie because Miyamoto (Mario's creator) was literally breathing down theirhroats during the entire process of filmmaking
They may not be original movies, but they're still brand new stories instead of retelling of old ones, so that's something at least. Plus, it doesn't mean Disney is never going to make original stories during their sequel period at all. For all we know they're secretly developing an original that will see their return to hand-drawn animation. I wouldn't be surprised
The true problem of original stories right now it's they have been so mediocre they need to tell new and better stories not telling repetitive and predictable stuff that you have already seen somewhere else they need to be more creative more effort more heart more inspiration surprising fans in unexpected ways not treat them as fools
I'm just going to say it: Brave is over-maligned. Yes, I get that Merida is a brat at first, but it's kind of the point that she's supposed to clean up her own mess and learn to appreciate Elinor's diplomacy more. Merida's strength is also her weakness: her fierce independence. It's a strength within the context of traversing the wilderness and knowing how to take care of yourself, but it's a liability in a political setting where you have to depend on others and it can come across as off-putting or even insulting to the other party. I think the film did a decent job at capturing the tumultuous relationship between mother and teenage daughter, and having them both compromise and meet each other in the middle. I understand if it's not everyone's cup of tea and that's okay, but I don't think it's a bad movie.
@AnimaVox_ Besides, people forget that Merida is a teenager, so of course she'll have that attitude, especially when your own mother is trying to force you to marry a stranger.
My favorite sequels from the direct to DVD series were Lion King 2, Beauty and the Beast 2, Little Mermaid 2 and Cinderella 3 (despite this one was kinda cheating because it had much better animation and actual storytelling) Really, the only two I absolutely cannot stand to this day are Pocahontas 2 and Hunchback 2 because of how little Disney cared about their movies. And these are two movies amongst many that work so much better as just the one movie/story instead of needing a continuation. Because all their sequels did was fail to understand the characters or the story of the original movie. Like, Hunchback 2 actually could’ve been an interesting story IF it had Quasi falling in love naturally and he isn’t still trapped in the belltower with those annoying gargoyles. I actually could’ve seen him becoming a carpenter or toymaker with his carving skills from the first movie. The movie is such an awful mess. With the new slate of movies, the only ones I’m actually excited for is Zootopia and Inside Out. Frankly, I am literally sick of Frozen and kinda hopes it’s over saturation ends up destroying itself. Kristoff still doesn’t have a story of his own and I’m really worried both movies are gonna focus on Elsa like the first two. Really, what other stories can be told, considering Elsa is a spirit (still don’t get that considering ice is literally frozen water!!) I always wished Tangled got a sequel, but the series it got is a thousand times better than several big screen sequels like Ralph Breaks the Internet. Plus I’d rather have a series filled with various stories than one giant story that could easily go wrong. Like, why Vanellope put her own game in danger just because she isn’t happy anymore and wants to be in a game she could’ve easily died in before being programmed to not be erased if she dies in the game?? And how is the game supposed to explain to the players the main character ON THE SIDE OF THE CONSOLE isn’t a playable character anymore??
I'm sorry, but Lion King 2 WAS a good movie in its own right, especially considering the effort and the choices made it a seamless sequel as compared to Lion King 1 1/2, which was more of a long-winded recap... so I can't agree with you adding footage from it into the video at the point at which you did. Also, while Cinderella 2 wasn't great, the step sister sequence you pulled was the best part of that sequel. Where Disney Sequels do have an issue with being half-baked and unnecessary, you appear to have a problem with using footage that is poorly thought out and unnecessary that doesn't fully illustrate your points. Lion King 2 continued on from Simba's story and while it now followed mostly the story of the next generation, Simba did function in the movie, now finding himself in the position his father was at, but with the distrust he'd gained from Scar's betrayal which informs his choices here. Meanwhile his daughter, Kiara, has her mother and father's former eager and adventuring personality and none of the caution likely because of a lack of personal experience. Where Lion King one very vaguely reminds of Hamlet, Lion King two reminds of Romeo & Juliet, which is a fairly clever way of creating consistency between the first and second movie, and it was executed... reasonably well. Like Lion King 1, it too had music -- granted, maybe it wasn't /as/ great, but, honestly, My Lullaby, We Are One and One of Us were still good songs, which show that effort was taken to try and recapture both the familial and romantic love elements in the music of the first movie, the intimidating epicness of the villain songs and the sweetness of the hero songs. The animation also remained of good quality - maybe not /as/ high, but there isn't a particularly visible drop in quality. I wouldn't have known it was a direct-to-dvd sequel, had you tube not constantly gone on about it. It doesn't feel like it should be. Okay, so maybe you could still argue it wasn't necessary, but then, I dunno, most sequels aren't, I don't see how Marry Poppins needed a sequel. But, it was still nice to see how Simba went on as a father, taking on yet another responsibility in life, and reminding us that people aren't generally born fathers, and that parenting styles can be informed by ones past. Simba's parenting was informed by his past with Scar and outcasts, and hence he is on high alert around Kovu. He is informed by trauma. (Which doesn't disappear just because of a love song, and your father's face appearing in the clouds.) And Zira's parenting is informed by her vindictiveness, and her self-centred goals which have her push Kovu against what he would've wanted to do - just be a cub and play with the other pride's cub, even if the other pride is the enemy. It's an interesting route to explore, and, considering Mufasa was just shown as the kinda-sorta-absentee-but-otherwise-has-a-perfect-personality type father, seeing a more flawed but involved father who is present in his daughter's life... isn't so bad. I mean, we already have Triton, but he seems less present overall and you don't get the same dynamic between Triton and Eric... so, this is still new ground being explored. Without redeeming all the villains, Cinderella 2 takes a stab at trying to explore the possibility of one of the step sisters wanting to change, but being heavily influenced by her mother - who she would've had to suffered longer than Cinderella, seeing as she's her biological daughter, and even if she was not made a servant initially, she still was expected to do this and that and had her goals effectively set out by her mother by the looks of it. And when she tries to step off the path created for her by her mother, her mother doesn't take to it well. So while spoilt, she's spoilt on in ways which the step mother deems necessary to have her daughter live out the life she wants, not the life her daughter might want for herself. Here, Cinderella gets to yet again show her kindness by not only being helpful, but choosing to help a person who had previously wronged her, showcasing just how strong her character is. It doesn't however redeem the stepmother herself, which is more than fair and keeps her as villain. It's not like it's one of those new villain-turned-good-guy-or-antihero type movies, so... And yes, if you were to tell me that Cinderella 2 is weaker than its predecessor, I would agree, especially considering that's not the only storyline in this movie, but it's like the only one I care for. Cinderella 3 feels like a much better sequel. And yes, to me, Lion King 2 is also better than this, just by nature of it being of consistently better quality, rather than just having one interesting and sweet story. While The Little Mermaid's sequel isn't perfect, I, again, like the reversal of roles for Ariel, and the fact that now the desires are reversed - where Ariel wanted to go on land, her daughter wants to go to the sea. Is it perfect? No. Does the music match in quality? No. But it's not offensively worse -- frankly, there are still some better pieces than in some of the modern non-sequel movies... so... can you blame them for going for sequels when even if they're meh, that's still better than some of the stuff that just blatantly insults the predecessor pieces by not understanding them at all? Or some of the comments from actors working on the live-action versions of beloved Disney Classics that are ill-informed at best? Compared to all that, a sequel that at least tries to continue a tale, even if it doesn't have all the effort of the initial story put into it, as it isn't expecting as many returns as an "original" product... is honestly less offensive. Although tbf, they did also move onto making big screen sequels realising their potential for profit pretty fast... I'd even argue Bambi 2 was pretty solid in most respects. It built on the dynamics between father and son, it maintained the gorgeous style, and had its own messages to tell. Sure, maybe they're not the most financially lucrative movies, but arguably, they do have some soul there, and I do think they have potential. And not all sequels are great, no, so I do kind of agree with you -- Aladdin 2 was... mixed..., Lion King 1 1/2 was, at least to me, not great, Wreck it Ralph also had me conflicted, and there are sequels I don't even want to touch on account of the fact that I don't see what they could possibly want to explore that would be interesting or respectful. Frozen 2 was a mess, somehow even more so than Frozen 1. HTTYD 3 was my least favourite from the franchise, Cars 2 was... eh, I didn't bother with the Toy Story franchise past the third movie since that one never appealed to me as much, Despicable Me 3 was everything we did. not. need. or want. Shrek 3... also sucked with the exception of a few fun scenes. And, hey, it's not just Disney that sucks. Sequels suck for most studios, and... Disney actually does quite well with most of them for the most part. There are some that really feel like a slap in the face, but most are pretty good. And also, Brave and Brother Bear are actually pretty solid in their own right. Nothing ridiculously offensive, wonderful animation and soundtrack, if perhaps not the most memorable, neat messages, etc. I just say this because there are some folk here that felt the need to share their opinion so I wanna share mine in return. It's only fair. Even Brother Bear 2 isn't as bad as many of the non-Disney sequels.
I personally wonder how well these six sequels are going to do financially, considering how much of a hot mess the box office is these days. In all fairness, I don't think any of them will *bomb,* and Toy Story 5 will absolutely do better than Lightyear (because Disney should never do sci-fi; that's my motto), but considering the fact that the box office numbers are now so bad that Argyle was #1 last week despite not even making *seven* million dollars, I end up with doubts that any of the sequels are going to have grosses on par with their immediate predecessors (again, minus Toy Story 5 which in terms of release order is following Lightyear, but even it still has TS4 to live up to in terms of the main series). And when you consider that they're all going to be released over (likely) the next four years with the only break being Elio (*another* sci-fi film I might add)...yeah, I think there's going to be tremendous audience fatigue by the time Frozen 4 drops, particularly since that could very well drop a year after Frozen 3, which itself is not a good sign for brand loyalty. But again, I think they're all going to do pretty good business; the question is just how good (especially if Frozen 3 and 4 are released back-to-back which considering the 9-month gap between their announcements makes unfortunate sense)
Disney keeps suffering from a really bad case of sequelitis type B: keeps pumping out new sequels of multiple IPs in a short amount of time unlike type A where long-running cash-cow franchises keeps pumping out sequels nonstop. Both cases are just awful. Just like many diseases, there will be sometimes better times than most times but most times is mostly bad just like a rollercoaster. It's rare for corporations or long running franchises to handle sequelitis well where they keep up with the qualities and doing it just because they just genuinely have love and passion for the franchises as much as the fans and not doing it mainly for just cash. Maybe this don't qualifies as sequelitis and it's just long running franchises as sequelitis is defined by the suffering of constant significant drop of quality forced to run like an exhausted dying zombie horse on life support.
Can't they just...go back to ripping off Hans Christian Anderson and the Brother's Grimm? I'd rather see ideas I haven't seen in movies before, not a cheap fan fiction series events after the initial movie that's already pretty much fan fiction to begin with.
Sequels are typically nothing but an easy cash grab, but the higher the number, typically the worse they get. Toy Story 2 being the rare exception because it built on the original story rather than throwing it out or taking it in a terrible new direction.
Inside Out 2 is definitely one of those rare exceptions as well as I can tell there’s more passionate motivation behind it than financial and like TS2, is delving into more heavy and mature subject matter with Riley now a teen and entering middle school and going to experience a lot more harder obstacles and more intense emotions than the one she dealt in the first film with moving.
I actually liked frozen 2. I hope monana 2 is good. I don’t mind multiple sequels as long as there is a story and character growth. Or a trilogy is fully created as a 3 arc story like LOTR
Here’s a problem- Lin Manuel Miranda was the only reason why the first Moana worked so where is he for the second one? Wicked is going to simply devour this movie. I’ll only be watching Frozen 3. Cuz the first two were both peak movies.

I just hope that in the movie of Shrek 5, once Disney buys DreamWorks, all The Official Disney Princes and all The Official Disney Princesses appear, especially the most important character in the movie of The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea, Melody, The Daughter of Prince Eric and Princess Ariel, with her best friends Tip, Dash, Kiera and Catalina, and besides, they will be the new main characters of the movie of Shrek 5 so that they help Shrek, Princess Fiona, Donkey, Dragon, Puss in Boots, Kitty Softpaws, Perrito, Dulcinea, The Three Diablos, Goldilocks, The Three Bears, Prince Lancelot, Princess Tiffany, King Artie, Princess Guinevere, The Children of Shrek and Princess Fiona: Fergus, Farkle and Felicia, The Children of Donkey and Dragon: Bananas, Parfait, Peanut, Eclair, Coco and Debbie and The Others to defeat Rumpelstiltskin, Death, all The Official Villains of Disney and all The Official Villains of DreamWorks, as Queen Grimhilde, Lady Tremaine, Maleficent, Marina del Rey, Ursula, Gaston LeGume, Jafar, John Ratcliffe, Shan Yu, Dr. Facilier, Zhan Tiri, Judge Claude Frollo, Mother Gothel, Tamatoa, Kakamora, Drago Bludvist, Grimmel The Grisly, Mor'du, King Runeard, Prince Hans, Pitch Black, The Druun, The Soldiers, Dr. Zara, Queen Nerissa, King Magnifico, Morgana, Evil Rapunzel and Drizella Tremaine, and to prevent Rumpelstiltskin, Death, all The Official Villains of Disney and all The Official Villains of DreamWorks from ruling and destroying all The Multiverse Forever, especially The Kingdom of Far Far Away, Shrek along with his wife named Princess Fiona will need help from their new friends which are all The Official Disney Princes and all The Official Disney Princesses, as Prince Florian, Princess Snow White, Prince Charming, Princess Cinderella, The Baker, Anastasia Tremaine, Prince Philip, Princess Aurora, Prince Eric, Princess Ariel, Prince Adam, Princess Belle, Prince Aladdin, Princess Jasmine, Prince John Smith, Princess Pocahontas, Prince Li Shang, Princess Fa Mulan, Prince Naveen, Princess Tiana, Prince Flynn Rider, Princess Rapunzel, Varian, Cassandra, Maui, Queen Moana Waialiki, Hiccup Haddock, Princess Merida,

Prince Hugo, Princess Sofia, Princess Raya, Princess Mirabel Madrigal, Namaari, The Other Six Princesses of The Kingdom of Atlantica and Melody, but actually, Melody is The First and Only that she is not a True Official Disney Princess, because Melody made her debut in the movie of The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea and it is also because she is The First and Only Daughter of an Official Disney Princess, but Shrek, Princess Fiona, Donkey, Dragon, Puss in Boots, Kitty Softpaws, Perrito, Dulcinea, The Three Diablos, Goldilocks, The Three Bears, Prince Lancelot, Princess Tiffany, King Artie, Princess Guinevere, The Children of Shrek and Princess Fiona: Fergus, Farkle and Felicia, The Children of Donkey and Dragon: Bananas, Parfait, Peanut, Eclair, Coco and Debbie and The Others also need Melody's help to protect and save all The Multiverse, especially Their Kingdom of Far Far Away away from Rumpelstiltskin, Death, all The Official Villains of Disney and all The Official Villains of DreamWorks, because Melody is The Daughter of Prince Eric and Princess Ariel, but also The Death of Queen Lillian, because since her husband named King Harold passed away in the movie of Shrek 3, she has felt heartbroken and that caused her own death in her Kingdom of Far Far Away, and all The Inhabitants of The Kingdom of Far Far Away are saddened by The Death of Queen Lillian, because now she is with her husband named King Harold in heaven, and now they have lost their queen, that means now The Kingdom of Far Far Away needs a new queen and King Artie said that his love interest, girlfriend, fiancée and former classmate from Worcestershire school called Princess Guinevere would be the one to be The New Queen of Far Far Away, so King Artie decided to return to his old school called Worcestershire along with Shrek, with his older cousin Princess Fiona, with Donkey, with Dragon, with Puss in Boots, with Kitty Softpaws, with Perrito, with Dulcinea, with The Three Diablos, with Goldilocks, with The Three Bears, with The Children of Shrek and Princess Fiona: Fergus, Farkle and Felicia, with The Children of Donkey and Dragon: Bananas, Parfait, Peanut, Eclair, Coco and Debbie and with the Others to meet again with their friends from their school who are actually Prince Lancelot, Princess Tiffany and his love interest, girlfriend and fiancée Princess Guinevere to take them back to his Kingdom of Far Far Away, and also The Romance of all The Official Disney Princes and all The Official Disney Princesses, especially The Romance of Maui and Queen Moana Waialiki, The Romance of Hiccup Haddock and Princess Merida, The Romance of Jack Frost and Princess Elsa, The Romance of Varian and Cassandra, The Romance of Starboy and Princess Asha, The Romance of Prince Lancelot and Princess Tiffany and The Romance of King Artie and Princess Guinevere, because I think that Maui will be Queen Moana Waialiki's love interest, boyfriend and fiancé, while Hiccup Haddock will be Princess Merida's love interest and boyfriend, Princess Tiffany will be Prince Lancelot's love interest, girlfriend and fiancée and Princess Guinevere will be King Artie's love interest, girlfriend and fiancée, because Queen Moana Waialiki is going to fall in love with Maui, Princess Merida is going to fall in love Hiccup Haddock, Princess Tiffany is going to fall in love with Prince Lancelot and Princess Guinevere is going to fall in love with King Artie, but they don't know how to tell them their feelings towards them and neither how to win their hearts, because every time Queen Moana Waialiki gets too close to Maui when it comes to true love, she gets very nervous with him, while which in the case of Princess Merida is also the same, because whenever Princess Merida gets too close to Hiccup Haddock when it comes to true love, she also gets very nervous with him, in the case of Princess Tiffany it is also the same, because whenever Princess Tiffany gets too close to Prince Lancelot when it comes to true love, she also gets very nervous around him, and in the case of Princess Guinevere too, because every time Princess Guinevere gets too close to King Artie when it comes to true love, she also gets very nervous around him, but luckily for them, Princess Fiona will help Queen Moana Waialiki to win The Heart of Maui, also Princess Merida to win The Heart of Hiccup Haddock, also Princess Tiffany to win The Heart of Prince Lancelot and also Princess Guinevere to win The Heart of King Artie, and I also want that Jack Frost will be Princess Elsa's love interest and boyfriend and Varian will be Cassandra's love interest and boyfriend, because Jack Frost leaves fall in love with Princess Elsa, but he doesn't know how to tell her his feelings and how to win her heart, because every time Jack Frost gets too close to Princess Elsa when it comes to true love, he gets very nervous with her, because Varian leaves fall in love with Cassandra, but he doesn't know how to tell her his feelings and how to win her heart, because every time Varian gets too close to Cassandra when it comes to true love, he gets very nervous with her, but fortunately for they, Shrek will help Jack Frost to win The Heart of Princess Elsa and also Varian to win The Heart of Cassandra, except Goldilocks, Namaari, Princess Raya and Princess Mirabel Madrigal, because now they will be The Only Official Disney Princesses who do not need to have love interests and who can remain single forever, and also the same for Melody, The Daughter of Prince Eric and Princess Ariel, because like her new adoptive aunts Goldilocks, Namaari, Princess Raya and Princess Mirabel Madrigal, she doesn't need a love interest either, but also The Rivalry of King Artie and Queen Anna because they both want to compete in a challenge to see who is The Best Ruler of a Kingdom, because both want to do what is best for Their Own Kingdom, because King Artie wants to do the best for his Kingdom of Far Far Away because now he is The New King of Far Far Away and Queen Anna wants to do the best for her Kingdom of Arendelle because now she is The New Queen of Arendelle, but at the end, King Artie and Queen Anna become best friends in the world, because at the end, they both learned from their mistakes that they have made since their challenge to compete to see who is the best ruler of a Kingdom, and that at the end, King Artie and Princess Guinevere see their first true love kiss and that they become a romantic couple, just like Prince Lancelot and Princess Tiffany, and also that at the end of the movie of Shrek 5, Shrek becomes The New Leader of The Official Disney Princes and Maui, Hiccup Haddock, Kristoff Bjorgman, Jack Frost, Varian, Jin, Connor, The Baker, Starboy, Mateo, Prince Desmond, Prince James, Prince Hugo, Prince Lancelot and King Artie become The New Official Members of The Official Disney Princes, while Princess Fiona becomes The New Leader of The Official Disney Princesses and Queen Anna, Princess Elsa, Cassandra, Yi, Ruby Gillman, Anastasia Tremaine, Princess Asha, Queen Elena, Princess Amber, Princess Isabel, Princess Sofia, Goldilocks, Namaari, The Other Six Princesses of The Kingdom of Atlantica, Princess Raya, Princess Mirabel Madrigal, Princess Tiffany and Princess Guinevere become The New Official Members of The Official Disney Princesses and that one day, Princess Tiffany will be The Wife of Prince Lancelot and that they have a family in the future, and that also Princess Guinevere is The Wife of King Artie, that they also have a family and that she becomes The New Queen of Far Far Away in The Future.
LIN MANUEL MIRANDA ISNT WRITING THE MUSIC FOR MOANA 2???? Oh God we're gonna get another Wish situation. Yeah LMM has his own style but at least he's a very talented musical theater composer, not some pop song writers in over their heads
Frozen 2 is the most nothing movie I have ever seen. It's just so nonsensical, boring, and uninteresting. The elemental spirits are super cliche, and they are practically pets more than anything else, (or at least they are by the time the movie is over). Elsa doesn't need pets. She needs a human who can put her in her place. The writers and directors should've chosen the obvious route and just say there are other humans with powers just like Elsa. Sure, it might seem like an X-Men ripoff, but it would've been way more interesting and at least made sense. Maybe the humans represent different seasons, and Elsa is the spirit of winter. Maybe the other humans hate Elsa because winter is gloomy and stuff. And the spring spirit especially hates Elsa because she can't grow plants during winter. Or we could just say the humans are not seasonal spirits and just have powers. They try to convince Elsa to abandon her sister since Anna doesn't have powers, and join them instead. Or maybe these humans tempt Anna into getting powers of her own. I'm sure there are much better directions than this, but these are just a few of my thoughts.
I hate the fact that they kinda blaming the ORIGINAL FILMS for not been successful and now they want to make only sequels, when in reality, films like Luca, Soul (and I not even a fan of this one), Turning Red, Encanto and possibly even RAYA would had been successful if not was because of the pandemic, then when they decide to finally release something in theaters, they release the worst ones, Lightyear, Strange World, Wish and Elemental (which was the only decent one of the bunch, but not great neither), if they just had release those pandemic films in theaters without covid, maybe the story would have been different......now we have this sequel era time, and it's going to probably be bad, I wish they where doing these out of love and passion, but is just money, the Moana 2 is just what they wanted as a TV SERIES, how they going to make that work for a theatrical release? is beyond me, Frozen 3 and 4 is just desperation, and so Toy Story 5, the most UNNECESSARY SEQUEL EVER ANNOUNCE, and the less we talk about the live actions THE BETTER. This is just sad man, as a Disney fan who use to pretty much love everything this company did, from the Little Mermaid to Moana (with some exception of course....cof, Chicken Little, cof, Brother Bear, cof, Brave, cof Cars 2, etc ...cof cof), Since Ralph Breaks the Internet to today, Disney have loss their magic, yes we get an occasional nice movie like Encanto or Turning Red, but now that felt like LUCKY SHOTS, more than planned successes, and everything they are doing now days, even outside Disney Animation just reek DESPERATION.
@@SIMBA-tq2ch Agreed. I'd also like to say that Brave should not be put anywhere near as low as Cars 2 or Chicken Little because it looks and sounds like it actually tried.
I mean we haven't had another Disney animated sequel since 2019 because last sequels they've made was Frozen 2 and Toy Story 4 and we had more Disney and Pixar original movies for the past couple of years but people still complained about there being to many sequels which annoys me Honestly I'm fine with sequels and besides Frozen needed a third movie to complete a trilogy and Zootopia totally deserves a sequel
I know right? Well, considering the fact some things are actually lies, just like how they say Cars 2 is the start of Pixar's downfall, same with Lightyear, on the other hand, the problem isn't necessarily the sequel, it's actually the writing. Okay wow, who knew this is one of the reasons why some things shouldn't existed/be made, no wonder they say Disney, and other movie/tv channel studios has lost their touch in making something good, you know, since it doesn't make much sense to make something terrible or lie to the fans about it to make money, which also seems unnecessary to make live action versions of Disney movies.
Im noticing that if disney makes something original, then people won't like it. But if they make sequels, people still won't like it.......dang, disney is stuck in a death loop
Walt Disney’s quote
“We don’t make movies to make money, we make money to make more movies” is actually coming to fruition in this day and age. From a business perspective this makes sense but I miss the creativity aspect Disney had. It’s also sad that several other movie studios like Dreamworks and Illumination are following this path too of multiple sequels and milking franchises.
It’s something I’ll always adore and admire about Studio Ghibli. The closest thing they’ve done to a sequel was The Cat Returns, which is technically a spin-off of Whisper of The Heart. Tho, there is speculation on a Nausicaä sequel. Regardless, every film stands on its own and says everything they want to within their runtime
Bob Iger:
" We will focus on quality and not quantity"
Also Bob Iger:
"We got to have...moneyyyy."
I mean, he is not wrong. In terms of Pixar, they need money to continue making films. People asked for original content instead of sequels. They made 5 original movie since 2020. Yet no one wanted to love these films. They all complained about films are not being like old Pixar. Three of them victim of Covid and D+. Elemental is victim of marketing. It got too much hate for no reason. I still don't understand that much hate. I'm not defending Disney and Pixar but people nowadays don't like anything and complaining, hating everything.
Also Bob Iger, in reference to striking workers:
"we're going to starve them out until they have to sell their apartments"
He’s gonna leave Disney in 2026
@@Dora-xi5ob I have a feeling that he's gonna get fired along with the entire Disney board during the annual shareholders meeting on April 3rd due to Nelson Peltz (and even Elon Musk) winning the proxy war by convincing the shareholders to vote against keeping both Iger and the Disney board around because of all the money that the company keeps losing. I really hope that does happen. 🤞

TBH, Elemental didn't focus enough on Ember and Wade's romance. It feels more like a generic Disney generational drama movie.

It's so unnecessary. Toy Story 3 was heartbreaking, but I feel like it was a great ending to the franchise. Andy gives away his toys and allows them to brighten the life of the next child who plays with them. "Why they would continue it after that is beyong me" is what *want* to say, but I know it's because they want to milk it for all its worth.

@@lexramstudios1386Then you are enabling and rewarding laziness.
Anyone notice that as soon as John Lasseter was put in charge of Disney animation, Disney stopped making sequels, but once he was fired, Disney starts making sequels again?
There are a few Disney sequels that I'm glad exists, but Walt Disney hated the idea of sequels and remakes. He viewed each film as an experiment. And if an experiment is successful, why do it again?
Bob Iger and Bob Chapek: to validate the results. Time and time and time and time again
-_-
I’m sure had Walt lived longer, he would’ve made an exception for Toy Story 2 to be made considering that one came from a passionate motivation to continue the story and explore not only Woody’s history as a rare collector’s item based on an obscure in-universe character from an equally obscure children’s show, but the next psychological implications in a toy’s life where not only do they have to deal with their own morality like falling apart or voice boxes not working as properly anymore, but the morality of their owners as they inevitably get older and outgrow them and play less with them or take them everywhere they go. Also helping that John’s motivation for making the sequel from seeing a little boy at an airport holding a Woody doll and being excited to show it to his father and telling it to Walt would’ve moved him enough to let John and the crew make the sequel.
@@hunterolaughlin Toy Story 2 is Pixar. Pixar makes their own movies.
@@vetarlittorf1807 Still, I stand that Walt would’ve approved of Toy Story 2 and let John and his team make the film.

Disney sequel’s today are just a way to stop original ideas from being greenlit
Have you seen their original ideas recently? No? Neither has anyone else.
What's why they're making sequels.
The last 5 Disney animation movies have been originals… so to say this is a way to stop them is silly. We’ve only been told about sequels at that studio, but they are surely working on originals as well. Just go watch them. Which people haven’t been doing. Which is why we are where we are.
New ideas can be costly and not as effective as a established brand of movie and characters. A franchise can bring in money new ideas can flop and not even bring much money but all the money you invest in the new movie/project could go down the toilet

I mean at this point their heart/soul is just gone & I don't think we're getting it back.
Part of the reason they don’t do well is cause of marketing you barely know if they’re coming out think about Turning Red and Elemental which we’re both pretty good
@@niarahancock4739 hopefully they can't fixture marketing and storytelling problems with Elio
The only sequel i think that won’t be a complete flop is inside 2
"Rescuers Down Under" was the perfect sequel
I agree
The rescuers down under is one of the best sequels that've seen. It's better than ralph break the internet and frozen 2. We need a spin-off from the 1990s the rescuers down under with jake in 2d.
Lion King 2! But both are very awesome, I legit always saw Down Under as a movie instead of a sequel, considering Penny and the other characters aren’t even mentioned
Fantasia 2000 isn't too bad
The Aladdin trilogy is the only sequels that Disney really nailed and those were back in the 90s.
Really? Because I heard people hated the Direct-to-DVD sequels
@@lexramstudios1386 Most of them were fusterclucks and insults to the originals, but a few were actually good.
What about Cinderella 3? It gives a personality to the prince, making him charming; brave and funny; nastadia is more developped too and a likable character, the action is fun, the animation and backgrounds are pretty. It's a good movie 🙂
@@ladypool1404 Cinderella 3 is one of the few good Direct to DVD sequels.
@@hannahbrennan2131what about the Lion King 2?
i just wish they’d make a fun sequel/threequel like cinderella 3 again. it wasn’t even that serious, just a silly time, but the characters still felt lifelike and less like fairytale roles being played out as the original felt.
I kind of like that idea. And for the love of god, bring back Roxanne. If there was one thing about the 2nd Goofy movie that ticked me off, it was the lack of Roxanne.
It’s always been my belief that an ideal sequel should complement the first in many ways. It should be a logical step forward in the development of the characters, story, and world. A lot of the Disney sequels don’t do this for me, even some of the Pixar sequels.
The oncoming onslaught of sequels most definitely feel like cash grabs, and I can’t imagine any of these besides Inside Out 2 and MAYBEEEE Moana 2 or Zootopia 2 being at least serviceable and complementing their previous films. The way of business and especially of Disney tho is to milk a prize cow absolutely dry, even if it’s the bones that are being milked…
Honestly the biggest issue with Disney Sequels isn't that they are just bad most the time. It's that they usually destroy the first movie in some way by changing the story/character etc in such a way that weakens the original.
Yes, Toy Story 4 destroying the mantra of the first three being a perfect example
@@Joe-rz3fd Yeah also things like Hunchback 2 in where Quasi goes back to moping around and wanting more after singing about how he'd be happy with one day on the street. All because he doesn't have a girlfriend.
Its baffling like has Disney forget that their hits exist BECAUSE they invested in experimental bold ideas which were complete stories like what else can they do ? For me Toy Story 4 didn't need to exist at all.
It’s hard not to look at Disney’s current release schedule for the rest of the 2020 decade and be like, “Yeah! Maybe there’s TOO many sequels and the studio is OVERDOING it”. Granted, I am excited for Inside Out 2 since that has the most potential and I’m cautiously optimistic about Moana 2 and Zootopia 2, but I do feel like sequels like Frozen 3 & 4 and Toy Story 5 are TOO MUCH and not really that necessary considering their respective sequels ended.
Honestly for me I’m fine of Frozen 3 and 4 for which I heard there going to be a two part story which hopefully doesn’t take long to release not like Fast X ends on cliffhanger which we have to wait like 3 years or more for the last movie. Hopefully the story does something interesting for the franchise. As for Toy Story 5 like no more after this movie because no one asks for another Toy Story movie which I like 4 but how 3 ended that was perfect to end and 4 did good but why another movie.
I think of all the sequels announced Zootopia 2 is the one I'm especially looking forward to. I feel like there's still so much they can do with that franchise.
@@rdphoenix07 I want birds and reptiles to appear in the movie
Frozen 3 and 4 are necessary because of how bad Frozen 2 was. If Frozen 2 was ok or nonexistent they wouldn't be needed
To quote Travis Knight, CEO and President of Laika Studios:
"I take a firm stand against sequels. My industry brethren are a little shocked at how firmly I’m committed to not doing sequels. Of course there are great sequels. The Godfather: Part II, The Empire Strikes Back. But I think if you look at where our industry is going, it’s dominated by franchises and brands, redos, remakes, sequels and prequels, where all these old presents are rewrapped and offered up as new gifts. The way we approach our stories is we imagine each film as if it’s the most meaningful experience of our protagonist’s life. If that’s your point of view, your sequel is automatically either going to be (A) a diminishment of that - is it the second most important experience of your protagonist’s life? Or, (B) you’ve got to crank up the volume so much, everything’s sensory overload, and becomes comical how much you have to ratchet it up to justify its existence. I’m not interested in that. I don’t want to do that. I want to tell new and original stories."
This pretty much sums why studios like Laika or Cartoon Saloon don’t ever produce a sequel.
Laika and Cartoon Saloon are also both private companies, which means their shareholders are a small, select group of people. With public companies like Disney, just about anybody can become a shareholder and influence the company's business practices, for better or for worse (and when it comes to artistic mediums, it's almost always for the worse).
Then again, Disney has been public since 1940 and didn't start seriously committing to making sequels until the 1990s.
Yeah, pretty much don't do sequels unless it's originally written as a multiple part story or you can find some way to build on the original
These Disney sequels are completely pointless.
Not Inside Out 2. That one at least has potential in taking a similar page from the Toy Story sequels before the 4th film and having the main human child, this case Riley, also grow with her audience as most of the younger kids who saw Inside Out nearly a decade ago are also going to be entering their teens and having her and her personified emotions dealing with the next stage of her life and the oncoming obstacles they’re going to have to navigate; especially made harder with the development of new emotions.
And… no! Don’t even bother complaining about the addition of new emotions and it “contradicting the post credits scenes of the first film where every kid and adult had the same 5 basic emotions” as I already can tell that’s what you’d do in your reply.

@@Poptanic Are you repeating what I stated in my reply like a parakeet or giving legit criticism?
@@hunterolaughlinIt’s a plot hole that needs to be addressed. Why shouldn’t we bring it up?
Not Cinderella A Twist in Time tho
The best franchise disney created themselves with more than one movie or series, i think is Lilo and Stitch
Disney needs a new writing team
I just want "Disney" to actually be better than worst!
Remember the good ol days of when Disney was making direct to DVD sequels? THOSE at least had actual potential (and some didn’t), unlike the ones we have right now modern day
Even though they weren't particularly good movies, I loved how well Melody was written in The Little Mermaid 2 and it was fun to see how Ariel was struggling to be a good mother finding a balance between her daughter's safety and her happiness.
I also loved how mature Mowgli had become in The Jungle Book 2 and I loved how well written his relationship with Shanti was and how they bring out the best in each other and complete each other.
Same, I know a lot didn’t like Little Mermaid 2, but I really enjoyed it. I actually relate to Melody a lot more as a character than Ariel tbh. Ones like Hunchback 2 actually had a lot more potential to be a decent movie if the plot of Quasi getting a girlfriend wasn’t plastered EVERYWHERE in the movie
I, for one, like Lion King II Simba's Pride and Little Mermaid II Return To the Sea. As well as Brother Bear II.
- I've seen Hunchback of Notre Dame II once, but don't really like it as much as the first. (and haven't watched it again since)
- Seen Aladdin II Return of Jafar, and III King of Theives a few times, but grew to where I don't like them as much as the first.
- Keep going back and forth between liking and not liking Mulan II (though I do have its songs in my playlist)
- Like An Extremely Goofy Movie okay
- Seen Cinderella II a few times as well, but haven't seen the third
- Watched Lion King 1 1/2 once
- Also watched Return To Neverland a handful of times and liked it (almost forgot about that one)
- Rescuers Down Under, seen once
- and Pocahontas II Journey To the New World (I think), I've seen once
I think that's it as far as 'straight to video/dvd' goes.
[though since Rescuers Down Under was part of the Disney Renaissance, it may've been a theatrical release]
@@CinemaSongscovers there's also bambi 2, which is really good (WATCH CINDERELLA 3 PLS. IT'S ABSOLUTELY PEAK)
Oh yeah,@@ToppyDreemurr, I'd heard about Bambi II as well.
Completely forgot about that one.
There is actually one sequel I’m looking forward to this year. Inside Out 2. It has the potential to tread new ground while sending an important message to modern children and parents, showing all the stress and negativity a modern middle schooler must experience, and how one can learn to face it. Also if she gets another commercial jingle stuck in her head I’m going to lose it. 😂
But yeah, I’m not sure if any other sequel movie can do that without tearing apart the message of its predecessor.
I still don't think Frozen 3 will get a billion in boxoffice (contrary to what everyone else and especially reddit believe). Frozen 2 was such a mess it killed any interest that people had in this franchise.
Honestly, was anyone even interested in a 2nd Frozen movie at all? The hype kind of died down after a while following the first movie, and let's be honest, they were really starting to force Olaf on everyone, rather than focusing on the sisters, the actual main characters, and the 2nd movie just had a jumbled mess of a plot. The 3rd one is really going to have to pull out all the stops if it wants to succeed.
@@rdphoenix07well, Frozen 2 was released in an era were people were still willing to throw money to watch in theaters. So most of the box office income came from that.
Now though, with streaming providing a cheap alternative, Frozen 2 might not have been as successful if it were to released now
The first movie had a perfect neding I loved it but there was no need for a sequel unless done right and it wasn't
I hate that Disney nowadays seems so scared of producing their own original content. I've never been much of a Disney fan, but I occasionally go to the cinema to see their movies. I can count the movies by them that I genuinely liked in the last few years on one hand and it's sad
I mean Strange World and Wish were original but sadly bombed for a number of reasons
In fact a lot of animated original movies bombed last year
@@lexramstudios1386 Yeah, you're right. I saw both of them and to me they were really boring - couldn't even finish Strange World and kinda had to force myself to sit through Wish. Would be nice if they could make some new stuff that's actually interesting
@@bleach.for.my.eyes. I saw Wish in theaters and I liked it as for Strange World I only saw clips of the movie and there were some parts that makes me laugh
What about Encanto and Raya and the Last Dragon? Those were originals as well. We haven’t seen a sequel in 5 years from them. How is that being scared? If you’re talking about Disney at-large, then I can’t blame you haha. But you should also look at individual studios as well. Especially if you’re referring to Disney animation. Up until this point, they’ve been doing a ton of original ips
@@lexramstudios1386 the true reason of why they have bombed it's they have been mediocre
Original animated features true problem it's not because they don't work anymore it's because they need to have great stories that could be more creative more inspirational that needs more heart an effort in order to convince people to go and see it on the big screen wish and strange world weren't those films they treat audiences as idiots
The sad thing is that the creatives at Disney have great original ideas- but executives only want one thing produced
Instead of unecessary sequels; Frozen 3 and 4, Toy story 5; why not making a show about Treasure planet? Wouldn't it be fun to see Jim, as a captain, exploring differents planets or fighting various aliens? He could talk to his mother with a hologram-watch; maybe return home after a month to visit Amelia, Dopler and their kids? There's so many creative things to do with that concept; creating planets, villains etc. I want to see that 🙂
I want a sequel from the great mouse dectective instead of moana 2, frozen 3 and frozen 4.
It wouldn’t be the same without many of its original cast, especially Barrie Ingham and Val Bettin, to be honest. No replacement could ever top the voice performances of those respective deceased actors.
@@hunterolaughlin disney will need a new story and a new art style.
No need cause Rattigan is dead and that's it. Adding a new threat is low and lame
Maybe an evil escaped pet snake could work.@@Simbala-bq5vy
For being a bad film, Frozen 2 has the most beautiful and realistic 3D animation in my opinion and the shots also look so beautiful
The animation and some of the music were the only things I liked about it. It has a really nice color palette too. But animation alone is not enough to keep a story engaging and nothing can salvage Frozen II's terrible writing. I think the filmmakers forgot that writing is also an art form.
@@AnimaVox_ Writing's not an art form. It's a crucial thing that every good story must have in all of media and entertainment.
@@1992disney Not mutually exclusive. It's an art in of itself too. That's why it's called _language arts._
@@AnimaVox_ I get your point.
It would be easier if Disney learned their mistakes from wish and confirm Bluebeard and Penelope the adaptation of The Princess and the Pea but no it seems that Disney needs to find a successful critically and financially I'm concerned that there won't be no original idea from Walt Disney Animation Studios for a while
Its so frustrating how Disney just REFUSES to learn their lesson. They _only_ care about money, not about making _good_ movies. All their original movies end up on Disney+ and have terrible marketing, and even then they don't have as good writing as they should, and then they act surprised that they don't make money.
They keep making stupid sequels because people keep going to see them, HOPING they'll be good. Even if they walk out of the theater disappointed, its too late. The damage is done... You can't refund a movie ticket if you already watched the movie.
Since you did a Disney ranking of Disney Heroes and Villians you should do a rankings of Disney parents. We already know that Buck Cluck, Yeager Clade and Anna's parents are the worst
Don’t forget Jim’s dad who up and left and never came back
@@NinthShinigami From what movie?
@@AmericaFuckYeah4 Treasure Planet
@NinthShinigami I haven't even seen it yet, but at least it's a way better movie than Strange World, which is literally a ripoff
The best Disney parent is still Mufasa hands down
Disney was supposed to go back to 2d. When I heard that disney will make sequels, I was really disappointed. Zootopia 2 is the only sequels that could work if there's a new art style. If no, I won't watch that movie. 3d Sequels from the 2010s movies won't save disney. What will save disney are a new art style like puss in boots the ladt wish or like in paperman, an original story and no messaging.
As of writing, Disney is still convinced that "realistic=good". While their 3D animation is impressive on a technical level, after a certain threshold, the casual audience stops noticing all the little flourishes and attention to detail. This is a problem because Disney and Pixar invest significantly into their animation technology.
@@davidhong1934 it would be easier if they move on with the Princess and the pea as a film that follows the same animation style as wish that follows spider verse and returning to hand-drawn with Bluebeard instead off turning Moana TV series into a sequel
Disney needs to start planning for sequels rather than greenlighting them based on success, imo. They're still getting their footing, though I was pleased with Frozen 2.
Disney really needs to take notes from DreamWorks on how to make great sequels. Aside from Toy Story 2 and 3, many of their other sequels are nowhere near as strong as their originals. They don't seem to have the same type of magic.
When it comes to DreamWorks, their sequels tend to be even better than the first film of each of their franchises, especially when it comes to the second film in the franchise. From Shrek to Kung Fu Panda to How to Train Your Dragon, the first films of each were fantastic. Yet somehow, the second films in each franchise managed to surpass the quality of the first film. Sure, they tend to struggle a little bit with the threequels. But even they can be enjoyable as well (except Shrek the Third).
I still remain hopeful for Disney and Pixar in the future. However, if they get into a habit of just making sequels and very few originals, that could end up being a problem. That being said, I hope these upcoming sequels have good stories and are not just cashgrabs. The one I really have the most hope for is Zootopia 2 and that's it. But I'm still gonna give them a chance and hope for the best.
I mean Walt does have a good point of quality over quantity
Even during the golden ages, Disney films primarily focus on legends and fairy tales and stories that kinda sorta already exist. They may expand upon the original source, sure, but the core is primarily something that already exists. As a result, they don't really have the foundation to continue on past "And they lived happily ever after".
Dreamworks and Pixar, however, make mostly original stories from the word go, and thus have new characters in new worlds with rules and lore established. They know how to make the foundation, they know what makes each character tick, and have more freedom to explore where they might go.
I would also like the see a spin-off the rescuers down under with jake instead of 3d sequels.
I’d at least give Zootopia’s sequel a chance. Out of all these sequel announcements, Zootopia makes the most sense. In some ways, it can be seen as a one-off story but it has the advantage of having built a whole world that is left to be explored more so should Disney make that sequel and make it right and wonderful then I think they’ll have a real winner and potential for a whole franchise that can last them a very long time just so long as they know how to tell stories correctly and not constantly make them about just Nick and Judy. There’s a lot of room for more new stories, characters and even life outside the city of Zootopia.
I really want birds and reptiles to make their appearance in sequels
@@lexramstudios1386 the creators said mammals only with certain exceptions to the rule. Fish and bugs exist in the world as food though.

How the times have changed when we were getting a Moana sequel that can only work if they give us new ideas for gods and make Tamatoa the antagonist, Schaffrillas memes aside. I mean, I don’t want to jinx it even if I likely will, but it could be a cancelled WDAS film like Gigantic, if only we could keep our hopes up for it to finally be greenlit after years of cancellation that put a stain on the animators and filmmakers’ hard work)
Does Winnie the Pooh count as having sequels
I guess
The last sequel I watched was Frozen 2, which did exceptionally well... in the visual department.
The rest was a jumbled mess.
What irked me the most was the whole "5th element" part, especially because that 5th element WAS A FORM OF ONE OF THE OTHER FOUR!!!!
Seriously, they couldn't have watched A:TLA or, you know, studied a gradeschool science textbook, to know that ice is a form of water? Pathetic.
Speaking of A:TLA, they did a phenomenal job in regards to the "four elements" part. They considered everything about the elements. They asked themselves, "If fire/air/water/earth was a person, who would they be?" And a city, and a fighting style, and a location, and a religion, etc.
Haven't seen much of LOK yet, but heard it's OK but not as good as the original.
I have hope for the upcoming sequels but I doubt they will be good.
At least as far as inside out and zootopia are concerned those are films that warrent sequels
The only sequels from Disney I liked are Toy Story 2 and 3, the Aladdin sequels, Return to Never Land and Cinderella III: A Twist in Time.
Let's see, the DVD sequels that Disney released at that time were not so bad, they were enjoyable and I enjoyed knowing how the story continued, meeting new adventures and more characters, or also prequels or spin offs.. although sometimes it is not necessary to create them, when the story already feels complete, but if there is still something to expand it's okay. But lately they are making too many sequels that are already making me worried about what they will do and if it will be good, I'm worried about Toy Story 5, Zootopia 2, Inside out 2, and Frozen)
AT LEAST IT ISN'T CRAPPY LIVE ACTION
Aladdin imo had decent sequels as it had a beginning, middle, and conclusion.
We had the original movie, the sequel with Jafar’s revenge which set up the TV series, which went into and led to the third film which finally had Aladdin and Jasmine get married.
In the 90's, early 2000's and 2010's the Disney fan in me had so many delicacies to enjoy. Now, in the near future, it looks like my inner Disney fab has to eat cheap Ravioli from a can and sugar sandwiches.
Walt Disney needs to consider Redwall and Mattimeo.
Zootpia 2 is the only sqeuel i could see working
ONLY sequels I’m fine with is Moana and Zootopia. But MAN Diseny is really destroying itself
And none of this would happen if the community would just move on from cars 2
I am beyond disappointed that we've entered a new age of sequels for the disney umbrella. What sucks even more is that during the time Pixar was making a bunch of originals, that a-hole bob chapek wouldn't let them thrive in theaters. Now the company has this dilussion that original ideas can't work but they can!
I think we need a review about the post renaissance Disney films. I also bet that a review about the bad batch would intreats many. Lastly, can you please review all of the rest of Sony animation movies during the release of Spider-man Beyond the Spider-verse.
How about this? We get one more sequel in 2027 and I want it to be Encanto 2 because come on I want to see more of the amazing Madrigals. Then in 2028 we get an original movie and it would be a fully hand drawn 2D Mickey Mouse film in celebration of his 100th anniversary. That sounds good to me.
i’ve watched a lot of ur videos and just now realized ur saying “im aldone” and “im all done” clever dude
Sequels/midquels that I liked:
Lion king 2
Lion king 1/2 (it was entertaining)
Bambi 2 (might even enjoy over the original)
Jungle book 2
Brother bear 2
The rescuers down under (I prefer this one over the original)
Cinderella 3
Aladdin 2 and 3
I think some of these sequels have a chance to get saved from being flops. For example I have heard that Frozen 3 is possibly going to get a release in 2026. If activist Nelson Peltz (now partnered up with Elon Musk) can buy Disney and fire the people who have been making the already released movies be poorly written woke disasters and have those people be relpaced by people who do care about the franchises that Disney has. Then the unreleased movies could likely get delayed so they can be rewritten to have a better story plot then get released as successful entertaining movies instead of being new flops. Also there could finally be an end to those horrible unwanted live-action remakes if those greedy people especially CEO Bob Iger, get fired and are never allowed to have a job in the Disney company again.
Question. If they do another Cinderella is it Cinderella 5 or Cinderella 2?
What about Dinsey tv shows based on a movie , as I can see shows based on Moana , Zootopia and Incredbles
Moana 2 was originally a Disney+ show
I think Disney's logic might be:
Instead of making glorified movies as tv shows (like what Marvel and Star Wars are doing),
They wanted to make glorified tv shows released as a theatrical blockbuster. Just so, those tv shows-repurposed-as-movies could get money both from the box office and from streaming
Onward, Soul, Raya, Luca, Encanto, Turning Red, Lightyear, Strange World, Elemental and Wish...
10 original films within 4 years, without a single sequel, and for various reasons they all either underperformed or outright bombed.
10 original films in a row. None of them gigantic hits. And people are upset they're going back to sequels? These sort of videos are so whiny and tone deaf it's not even funny.
I think that sequels and reboots and requels Also take away the authenticity of the original.
A franchise like rocky or Harry potter makes sense chronologically.
Waiting 15 to 30 years after an og film to make another movie, cheats the fans who aren't young anymore because how do we know we will live long enough to see the conclusion of our favorite characters?
From Wikipedia, it stated in 2014 that wreck it Ralph 2 was originally going to include tron and Mario making an appearance, 4 years later, that was thrown out the window, infavor of popular Disney brands😡 6:30
For Mario, I think it's more like Nintendo being incredibly protective of their mascot (after the fiasco that was the live action Mario movie) and the Disney writers didn't particularly like being creatively restricted by them.
Illumination managed to get away making a Mario movie because Miyamoto (Mario's creator) was literally breathing down theirhroats during the entire process of filmmaking
Do a Trolls Band Together video involving Velvet and Veneer and analyzing them as villains
They may not be original movies, but they're still brand new stories instead of retelling of old ones, so that's something at least. Plus, it doesn't mean Disney is never going to make original stories during their sequel period at all. For all we know they're secretly developing an original that will see their return to hand-drawn animation. I wouldn't be surprised
The true problem of original stories right now it's they have been so mediocre they need to tell new and better stories not telling repetitive and predictable stuff that you have already seen somewhere else they need to be more creative more effort more heart more inspiration surprising fans in unexpected ways not treat them as fools
What about Why Disney Pixar Brave is Bad?
It isn't even bad its a Mother's Day movie
But I like this movie 😢
I'm just going to say it: Brave is over-maligned. Yes, I get that Merida is a brat at first, but it's kind of the point that she's supposed to clean up her own mess and learn to appreciate Elinor's diplomacy more. Merida's strength is also her weakness: her fierce independence. It's a strength within the context of traversing the wilderness and knowing how to take care of yourself, but it's a liability in a political setting where you have to depend on others and it can come across as off-putting or even insulting to the other party.
I think the film did a decent job at capturing the tumultuous relationship between mother and teenage daughter, and having them both compromise and meet each other in the middle. I understand if it's not everyone's cup of tea and that's okay, but I don't think it's a bad movie.
@AnimaVox_ Besides, people forget that Merida is a teenager, so of course she'll have that attitude, especially when your own mother is trying to force you to marry a stranger.
My favorite sequels from the direct to DVD series were Lion King 2, Beauty and the Beast 2, Little Mermaid 2 and Cinderella 3 (despite this one was kinda cheating because it had much better animation and actual storytelling) Really, the only two I absolutely cannot stand to this day are Pocahontas 2 and Hunchback 2 because of how little Disney cared about their movies. And these are two movies amongst many that work so much better as just the one movie/story instead of needing a continuation. Because all their sequels did was fail to understand the characters or the story of the original movie. Like, Hunchback 2 actually could’ve been an interesting story IF it had Quasi falling in love naturally and he isn’t still trapped in the belltower with those annoying gargoyles. I actually could’ve seen him becoming a carpenter or toymaker with his carving skills from the first movie. The movie is such an awful mess.
With the new slate of movies, the only ones I’m actually excited for is Zootopia and Inside Out. Frankly, I am literally sick of Frozen and kinda hopes it’s over saturation ends up destroying itself. Kristoff still doesn’t have a story of his own and I’m really worried both movies are gonna focus on Elsa like the first two. Really, what other stories can be told, considering Elsa is a spirit (still don’t get that considering ice is literally frozen water!!)
I always wished Tangled got a sequel, but the series it got is a thousand times better than several big screen sequels like Ralph Breaks the Internet. Plus I’d rather have a series filled with various stories than one giant story that could easily go wrong. Like, why Vanellope put her own game in danger just because she isn’t happy anymore and wants to be in a game she could’ve easily died in before being programmed to not be erased if she dies in the game?? And how is the game supposed to explain to the players the main character ON THE SIDE OF THE CONSOLE isn’t a playable character anymore??
I'm sorry, but Lion King 2 WAS a good movie in its own right, especially considering the effort and the choices made it a seamless sequel as compared to Lion King 1 1/2, which was more of a long-winded recap... so I can't agree with you adding footage from it into the video at the point at which you did. Also, while Cinderella 2 wasn't great, the step sister sequence you pulled was the best part of that sequel.
Where Disney Sequels do have an issue with being half-baked and unnecessary, you appear to have a problem with using footage that is poorly thought out and unnecessary that doesn't fully illustrate your points.
Lion King 2 continued on from Simba's story and while it now followed mostly the story of the next generation, Simba did function in the movie, now finding himself in the position his father was at, but with the distrust he'd gained from Scar's betrayal which informs his choices here. Meanwhile his daughter, Kiara, has her mother and father's former eager and adventuring personality and none of the caution likely because of a lack of personal experience. Where Lion King one very vaguely reminds of Hamlet, Lion King two reminds of Romeo & Juliet, which is a fairly clever way of creating consistency between the first and second movie, and it was executed... reasonably well. Like Lion King 1, it too had music -- granted, maybe it wasn't /as/ great, but, honestly, My Lullaby, We Are One and One of Us were still good songs, which show that effort was taken to try and recapture both the familial and romantic love elements in the music of the first movie, the intimidating epicness of the villain songs and the sweetness of the hero songs. The animation also remained of good quality - maybe not /as/ high, but there isn't a particularly visible drop in quality. I wouldn't have known it was a direct-to-dvd sequel, had you tube not constantly gone on about it. It doesn't feel like it should be.
Okay, so maybe you could still argue it wasn't necessary, but then, I dunno, most sequels aren't, I don't see how Marry Poppins needed a sequel. But, it was still nice to see how Simba went on as a father, taking on yet another responsibility in life, and reminding us that people aren't generally born fathers, and that parenting styles can be informed by ones past. Simba's parenting was informed by his past with Scar and outcasts, and hence he is on high alert around Kovu. He is informed by trauma. (Which doesn't disappear just because of a love song, and your father's face appearing in the clouds.) And Zira's parenting is informed by her vindictiveness, and her self-centred goals which have her push Kovu against what he would've wanted to do - just be a cub and play with the other pride's cub, even if the other pride is the enemy. It's an interesting route to explore, and, considering Mufasa was just shown as the kinda-sorta-absentee-but-otherwise-has-a-perfect-personality type father, seeing a more flawed but involved father who is present in his daughter's life... isn't so bad. I mean, we already have Triton, but he seems less present overall and you don't get the same dynamic between Triton and Eric... so, this is still new ground being explored.
Without redeeming all the villains, Cinderella 2 takes a stab at trying to explore the possibility of one of the step sisters wanting to change, but being heavily influenced by her mother - who she would've had to suffered longer than Cinderella, seeing as she's her biological daughter, and even if she was not made a servant initially, she still was expected to do this and that and had her goals effectively set out by her mother by the looks of it. And when she tries to step off the path created for her by her mother, her mother doesn't take to it well. So while spoilt, she's spoilt on in ways which the step mother deems necessary to have her daughter live out the life she wants, not the life her daughter might want for herself. Here, Cinderella gets to yet again show her kindness by not only being helpful, but choosing to help a person who had previously wronged her, showcasing just how strong her character is. It doesn't however redeem the stepmother herself, which is more than fair and keeps her as villain. It's not like it's one of those new villain-turned-good-guy-or-antihero type movies, so...
And yes, if you were to tell me that Cinderella 2 is weaker than its predecessor, I would agree, especially considering that's not the only storyline in this movie, but it's like the only one I care for. Cinderella 3 feels like a much better sequel. And yes, to me, Lion King 2 is also better than this, just by nature of it being of consistently better quality, rather than just having one interesting and sweet story.
While The Little Mermaid's sequel isn't perfect, I, again, like the reversal of roles for Ariel, and the fact that now the desires are reversed - where Ariel wanted to go on land, her daughter wants to go to the sea. Is it perfect? No. Does the music match in quality? No. But it's not offensively worse -- frankly, there are still some better pieces than in some of the modern non-sequel movies... so... can you blame them for going for sequels when even if they're meh, that's still better than some of the stuff that just blatantly insults the predecessor pieces by not understanding them at all? Or some of the comments from actors working on the live-action versions of beloved Disney Classics that are ill-informed at best? Compared to all that, a sequel that at least tries to continue a tale, even if it doesn't have all the effort of the initial story put into it, as it isn't expecting as many returns as an "original" product... is honestly less offensive. Although tbf, they did also move onto making big screen sequels realising their potential for profit pretty fast...
I'd even argue Bambi 2 was pretty solid in most respects. It built on the dynamics between father and son, it maintained the gorgeous style, and had its own messages to tell.
Sure, maybe they're not the most financially lucrative movies, but arguably, they do have some soul there, and I do think they have potential.
And not all sequels are great, no, so I do kind of agree with you -- Aladdin 2 was... mixed..., Lion King 1 1/2 was, at least to me, not great, Wreck it Ralph also had me conflicted, and there are sequels I don't even want to touch on account of the fact that I don't see what they could possibly want to explore that would be interesting or respectful. Frozen 2 was a mess, somehow even more so than Frozen 1. HTTYD 3 was my least favourite from the franchise, Cars 2 was... eh, I didn't bother with the Toy Story franchise past the third movie since that one never appealed to me as much, Despicable Me 3 was everything we did. not. need. or want. Shrek 3... also sucked with the exception of a few fun scenes. And, hey, it's not just Disney that sucks. Sequels suck for most studios, and... Disney actually does quite well with most of them for the most part. There are some that really feel like a slap in the face, but most are pretty good. And also, Brave and Brother Bear are actually pretty solid in their own right. Nothing ridiculously offensive, wonderful animation and soundtrack, if perhaps not the most memorable, neat messages, etc. I just say this because there are some folk here that felt the need to share their opinion so I wanna share mine in return. It's only fair. Even Brother Bear 2 isn't as bad as many of the non-Disney sequels.
I've been waiting for Zootopia 2 so... 😅
I personally wonder how well these six sequels are going to do financially, considering how much of a hot mess the box office is these days. In all fairness, I don't think any of them will *bomb,* and Toy Story 5 will absolutely do better than Lightyear (because Disney should never do sci-fi; that's my motto), but considering the fact that the box office numbers are now so bad that Argyle was #1 last week despite not even making *seven* million dollars, I end up with doubts that any of the sequels are going to have grosses on par with their immediate predecessors (again, minus Toy Story 5 which in terms of release order is following Lightyear, but even it still has TS4 to live up to in terms of the main series). And when you consider that they're all going to be released over (likely) the next four years with the only break being Elio (*another* sci-fi film I might add)...yeah, I think there's going to be tremendous audience fatigue by the time Frozen 4 drops, particularly since that could very well drop a year after Frozen 3, which itself is not a good sign for brand loyalty. But again, I think they're all going to do pretty good business; the question is just how good (especially if Frozen 3 and 4 are released back-to-back which considering the 9-month gap between their announcements makes unfortunate sense)
I think the reason why Frozen 4 will release a year after Frozen 3 is because they're a two-part movie
Lion king 2 and 1/2 was the only ones I think did good from the direct to video list.
It's becoming sad when books have more originality than the entertainment industry
Disney keeps suffering from a really bad case of sequelitis type B: keeps pumping out new sequels of multiple IPs in a short amount of time unlike type A where long-running cash-cow franchises keeps pumping out sequels nonstop. Both cases are just awful.
Just like many diseases, there will be sometimes better times than most times but most times is mostly bad just like a rollercoaster.
It's rare for corporations or long running franchises to handle sequelitis well where they keep up with the qualities and doing it just because they just genuinely have love and passion for the franchises as much as the fans and not doing it mainly for just cash. Maybe this don't qualifies as sequelitis and it's just long running franchises as sequelitis is defined by the suffering of constant significant drop of quality forced to run like an exhausted dying zombie horse on life support.
Can't they just...go back to ripping off Hans Christian Anderson and the Brother's Grimm? I'd rather see ideas I haven't seen in movies before, not a cheap fan fiction series events after the initial movie that's already pretty much fan fiction to begin with.
I wish they did , there are many Fairy tales they haven't covered.
@@freakytostadacartoonyeah, I know a lot of people that are bumped that Disney's first SEA movie isn't based on a SEA fairy tale
I would love to see Dianey's take on The 12 Dancing Princesses
I feel Disney should stop making sequels and focus more on making brand new stories.
Sequels are typically nothing but an easy cash grab, but the higher the number, typically the worse they get. Toy Story 2 being the rare exception because it built on the original story rather than throwing it out or taking it in a terrible new direction.
Inside Out 2 is definitely one of those rare exceptions as well as I can tell there’s more passionate motivation behind it than financial and like TS2, is delving into more heavy and mature subject matter with Riley now a teen and entering middle school and going to experience a lot more harder obstacles and more intense emotions than the one she dealt in the first film with moving.
I actually liked frozen 2. I hope monana 2 is good.
I don’t mind multiple sequels as long as there is a story and character growth. Or a trilogy is fully created as a 3 arc story like LOTR
We keep creating new ways to celebrate mediocrity.
Here’s a problem- Lin Manuel Miranda was the only reason why the first Moana worked so where is he for the second one? Wicked is going to simply devour this movie. I’ll only be watching Frozen 3. Cuz the first two were both peak movies.
Can you imagine the best Disney sequel is not even the movie or tv series...yes kingdom hearts 2
Can’t wait till 2026 when Bob Iger leaves Disney

DreamWorks will always be king animated saga.
Then why are they making a live action how to train your dragon? R-tard.
@@JeremyMasterson938 It could turn out great saga.
@@Alucard2091then I guess you don’t mind them working on a live action shrek, a live action Kung fu panda, or maybe even a live action boss baby.
@@JeremyMasterson938 Easy to move on if turn out shit.
Ok
I just hope that in the movie of Shrek 5, once Disney buys DreamWorks, all The Official Disney Princes and all The Official Disney Princesses appear, especially the most important character in the movie of The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea, Melody, The Daughter of Prince Eric and Princess Ariel, with her best friends Tip, Dash, Kiera and Catalina, and besides, they will be the new main characters of the movie of Shrek 5 so that they help Shrek, Princess Fiona, Donkey, Dragon, Puss in Boots, Kitty Softpaws, Perrito, Dulcinea, The Three Diablos, Goldilocks, The Three Bears, Prince Lancelot, Princess Tiffany, King Artie, Princess Guinevere, The Children of Shrek and Princess Fiona: Fergus, Farkle and Felicia, The Children of Donkey and Dragon: Bananas, Parfait, Peanut, Eclair, Coco and Debbie and The Others to defeat Rumpelstiltskin, Death, all The Official Villains of Disney and all The Official Villains of DreamWorks, as Queen Grimhilde, Lady Tremaine, Maleficent, Marina del Rey, Ursula, Gaston LeGume, Jafar, John Ratcliffe, Shan Yu, Dr. Facilier, Zhan Tiri, Judge Claude Frollo, Mother Gothel, Tamatoa, Kakamora, Drago Bludvist, Grimmel The Grisly, Mor'du, King Runeard, Prince Hans, Pitch Black, The Druun, The Soldiers, Dr. Zara, Queen Nerissa, King Magnifico, Morgana, Evil Rapunzel and Drizella Tremaine, and to prevent Rumpelstiltskin, Death, all The Official Villains of Disney and all The Official Villains of DreamWorks from ruling and destroying all The Multiverse Forever, especially The Kingdom of Far Far Away, Shrek along with his wife named Princess Fiona will need help from their new friends which are all The Official Disney Princes and all The Official Disney Princesses, as Prince Florian, Princess Snow White, Prince Charming, Princess Cinderella, The Baker, Anastasia Tremaine, Prince Philip, Princess Aurora, Prince Eric, Princess Ariel, Prince Adam, Princess Belle, Prince Aladdin, Princess Jasmine, Prince John Smith, Princess Pocahontas, Prince Li Shang, Princess Fa Mulan, Prince Naveen, Princess Tiana, Prince Flynn Rider, Princess Rapunzel, Varian, Cassandra, Maui, Queen Moana Waialiki, Hiccup Haddock, Princess Merida, Kristoff Bjorgman, Queen Anna, Jack Frost, Princess Elsa, Jin, Yi, Connor, Ruby Gillman, Starboy, Princess Asha, Mateo, Queen Elena, Prince Desmond, Princess Amber, Prince James, Princess Isabel, Prince Hugo, Princess Sofia, Princess Raya, Princess Mirabel Madrigal, Namaari, The Other Six Princesses of The Kingdom of Atlantica and Melody, but actually, Melody is The First and Only that she is not a True Official Disney Princess, because Melody made her debut in the movie of The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea and it is also because she is The First and Only Daughter of an Official Disney Princess, but Shrek, Princess Fiona, Donkey, Dragon, Puss in Boots, Kitty Softpaws, Perrito, Dulcinea, The Three Diablos, Goldilocks, The Three Bears, Prince Lancelot, Princess Tiffany, King Artie, Princess Guinevere, The Children of Shrek and Princess Fiona: Fergus, Farkle and Felicia, The Children of Donkey and Dragon: Bananas, Parfait, Peanut, Eclair, Coco and Debbie and The Others also need Melody's help to protect and save all The Multiverse, especially Their Kingdom of Far Far Away away from Rumpelstiltskin, Death, all The Official Villains of Disney and all The Official Villains of DreamWorks, because Melody is The Daughter of Prince Eric and Princess Ariel, but also The Death of Queen Lillian, because since her husband named King Harold passed away in the movie of Shrek 3, she has felt heartbroken and that caused her own death in her Kingdom of Far Far Away, and all The Inhabitants of The Kingdom of Far Far Away are saddened by The Death of Queen Lillian, because now she is with her husband named King Harold in heaven, and now they have lost their queen, that means now The Kingdom of Far Far Away needs a new queen and King Artie said that his love interest, girlfriend, fiancée and former classmate from Worcestershire school called Princess Guinevere would be the one to be The New Queen of Far Far Away, so King Artie decided to return to his old school called Worcestershire along with Shrek, with his older cousin Princess Fiona, with Donkey, with Dragon, with Puss in Boots, with Kitty Softpaws, with Perrito, with Dulcinea, with The Three Diablos, with Goldilocks, with The Three Bears, with The Children of Shrek and Princess Fiona: Fergus, Farkle and Felicia, with The Children of Donkey and Dragon: Bananas, Parfait, Peanut, Eclair, Coco and Debbie and with the Others to meet again with their friends from their school who are actually Prince Lancelot, Princess Tiffany and his love interest, girlfriend and fiancée Princess Guinevere to take them back to his Kingdom of Far Far Away, and also The Romance of all The Official Disney Princes and all The Official Disney Princesses, especially The Romance of Maui and Queen Moana Waialiki, The Romance of Hiccup Haddock and Princess Merida, The Romance of Jack Frost and Princess Elsa, The Romance of Varian and Cassandra, The Romance of Starboy and Princess Asha, The Romance of Prince Lancelot and Princess Tiffany and The Romance of King Artie and Princess Guinevere, because I think that Maui will be Queen Moana Waialiki's love interest, boyfriend and fiancé, while Hiccup Haddock will be Princess Merida's love interest and boyfriend, Princess Tiffany will be Prince Lancelot's love interest, girlfriend and fiancée and Princess Guinevere will be King Artie's love interest, girlfriend and fiancée, because Queen Moana Waialiki is going to fall in love with Maui, Princess Merida is going to fall in love Hiccup Haddock, Princess Tiffany is going to fall in love with Prince Lancelot and Princess Guinevere is going to fall in love with King Artie, but they don't know how to tell them their feelings towards them and neither how to win their hearts, because every time Queen Moana Waialiki gets too close to Maui when it comes to true love, she gets very nervous with him, while which in the case of Princess Merida is also the same, because whenever Princess Merida gets too close to Hiccup Haddock when it comes to true love, she also gets very nervous with him, in the case of Princess Tiffany it is also the same, because whenever Princess Tiffany gets too close to Prince Lancelot when it comes to true love, she also gets very nervous around him, and in the case of Princess Guinevere too, because every time Princess Guinevere gets too close to King Artie when it comes to true love, she also gets very nervous around him, but luckily for them, Princess Fiona will help Queen Moana Waialiki to win The Heart of Maui, also Princess Merida to win The Heart of Hiccup Haddock, also Princess Tiffany to win The Heart of Prince Lancelot and also Princess Guinevere to win The Heart of King Artie, and I also want that Jack Frost will be Princess Elsa's love interest and boyfriend and Varian will be Cassandra's love interest and boyfriend, because Jack Frost leaves fall in love with Princess Elsa, but he doesn't know how to tell her his feelings and how to win her heart, because every time Jack Frost gets too close to Princess Elsa when it comes to true love, he gets very nervous with her, because Varian leaves fall in love with Cassandra, but he doesn't know how to tell her his feelings and how to win her heart, because every time Varian gets too close to Cassandra when it comes to true love, he gets very nervous with her, but fortunately for they, Shrek will help Jack Frost to win The Heart of Princess Elsa and also Varian to win The Heart of Cassandra, except Goldilocks, Namaari, Princess Raya and Princess Mirabel Madrigal, because now they will be The Only Official Disney Princesses who do not need to have love interests and who can remain single forever, and also the same for Melody, The Daughter of Prince Eric and Princess Ariel, because like her new adoptive aunts Goldilocks, Namaari, Princess Raya and Princess Mirabel Madrigal, she doesn't need a love interest either, but also The Rivalry of King Artie and Queen Anna because they both want to compete in a challenge to see who is The Best Ruler of a Kingdom, because both want to do what is best for Their Own Kingdom, because King Artie wants to do the best for his Kingdom of Far Far Away because now he is The New King of Far Far Away and Queen Anna wants to do the best for her Kingdom of Arendelle because now she is The New Queen of Arendelle, but at the end, King Artie and Queen Anna become best friends in the world, because at the end, they both learned from their mistakes that they have made since their challenge to compete to see who is the best ruler of a Kingdom, and that at the end, King Artie and Princess Guinevere see their first true love kiss and that they become a romantic couple, just like Prince Lancelot and Princess Tiffany, and also that at the end of the movie of Shrek 5, Shrek becomes The New Leader of The Official Disney Princes and Maui, Hiccup Haddock, Kristoff Bjorgman, Jack Frost, Varian, Jin, Connor, The Baker, Starboy, Mateo, Prince Desmond, Prince James, Prince Hugo, Prince Lancelot and King Artie become The New Official Members of The Official Disney Princes, while Princess Fiona becomes The New Leader of The Official Disney Princesses and Queen Anna, Princess Elsa, Cassandra, Yi, Ruby Gillman, Anastasia Tremaine, Princess Asha, Queen Elena, Princess Amber, Princess Isabel, Princess Sofia, Goldilocks, Namaari, The Other Six Princesses of The Kingdom of Atlantica, Princess Raya, Princess Mirabel Madrigal, Princess Tiffany and Princess Guinevere become The New Official Members of The Official Disney Princesses and that one day, Princess Tiffany will be The Wife of Prince Lancelot and that they have a family in the future, and that also Princess Guinevere is The Wife of King Artie, that they also have a family and that she becomes The New Queen of Far Far Away in The Future.
LIN MANUEL MIRANDA ISNT WRITING THE MUSIC FOR MOANA 2????
Oh God we're gonna get another Wish situation. Yeah LMM has his own style but at least he's a very talented musical theater composer, not some pop song writers in over their heads
But you know that some pop song writers are also talented? XD
i loved wish... and i hope moana 2 is good :/
I liked the incredible a 2….
I actually like sequels
*Sees thumbnail*
We don't talk about that horseshit.
Frozen 2 is the most nothing movie I have ever seen. It's just so nonsensical, boring, and uninteresting. The elemental spirits are super cliche, and they are practically pets more than anything else, (or at least they are by the time the movie is over). Elsa doesn't need pets. She needs a human who can put her in her place. The writers and directors should've chosen the obvious route and just say there are other humans with powers just like Elsa. Sure, it might seem like an X-Men ripoff, but it would've been way more interesting and at least made sense. Maybe the humans represent different seasons, and Elsa is the spirit of winter. Maybe the other humans hate Elsa because winter is gloomy and stuff. And the spring spirit especially hates Elsa because she can't grow plants during winter. Or we could just say the humans are not seasonal spirits and just have powers. They try to convince Elsa to abandon her sister since Anna doesn't have powers, and join them instead. Or maybe these humans tempt Anna into getting powers of her own. I'm sure there are much better directions than this, but these are just a few of my thoughts.
THat would actually be good or actually giving anan powers as well , so much better than the mess it was !!
I hate the fact that they kinda blaming the ORIGINAL FILMS for not been successful and now they want to make only sequels, when in reality, films like Luca, Soul (and I not even a fan of this one), Turning Red, Encanto and possibly even RAYA would had been successful if not was because of the pandemic, then when they decide to finally release something in theaters, they release the worst ones, Lightyear, Strange World, Wish and Elemental (which was the only decent one of the bunch, but not great neither), if they just had release those pandemic films in theaters without covid, maybe the story would have been different......now we have this sequel era time, and it's going to probably be bad, I wish they where doing these out of love and passion, but is just money, the Moana 2 is just what they wanted as a TV SERIES, how they going to make that work for a theatrical release? is beyond me, Frozen 3 and 4 is just desperation, and so Toy Story 5, the most UNNECESSARY SEQUEL EVER ANNOUNCE, and the less we talk about the live actions THE BETTER. This is just sad man, as a Disney fan who use to pretty much love everything this company did, from the Little Mermaid to Moana (with some exception of course....cof, Chicken Little, cof, Brother Bear, cof, Brave, cof Cars 2, etc ...cof cof), Since Ralph Breaks the Internet to today, Disney have loss their magic, yes we get an occasional nice movie like Encanto or Turning Red, but now that felt like LUCKY SHOTS, more than planned successes, and everything they are doing now days, even outside Disney Animation just reek DESPERATION.
Brother Bear is great wdym
@@SIMBA-tq2ch Agreed. I'd also like to say that Brave should not be put anywhere near as low as Cars 2 or Chicken Little because it looks and sounds like it actually tried.
Eh... I don't know about Raya...
That movie had quite some big problems..
Particularly with how they handled the message and some characters
I mean we haven't had another Disney animated sequel since 2019 because last sequels they've made was Frozen 2 and Toy Story 4 and we had more Disney and Pixar original movies for the past couple of years but people still complained about there being to many sequels which annoys me
Honestly I'm fine with sequels and besides Frozen needed a third movie to complete a trilogy and Zootopia totally deserves a sequel
I know you did NOT just trash on Frozen 2. It was SO much better than the first one. Idk what you’re on.
Have you even watched his video on the movie before watching this one?
I know right?
Well, considering the fact some things are actually lies, just like how they say Cars 2 is the start of Pixar's downfall, same with Lightyear, on the other hand, the problem isn't necessarily the sequel, it's actually the writing. Okay wow, who knew this is one of the reasons why some things shouldn't existed/be made, no wonder they say Disney, and other movie/tv channel studios has lost their touch in making something good, you know, since it doesn't make much sense to make something terrible or lie to the fans about it to make money, which also seems unnecessary to make live action versions of Disney movies.
Im noticing that if disney makes something original, then people won't like it. But if they make sequels, people still won't like it.......dang, disney is stuck in a death loop
