Ranking EVERY Weird Disney Direct-To-Video Sequel 

“Because singing killed my grandma” will never not be the most hysterical line in the entire history of animated cinema

Prince Charming jumping out the window is one of the best scenes in cinematic history Change my mind

I always want to address how Simba in LK2 and Ariel in TLM2 do similar things but one works out a lot better: both kinda turn into massive hypocrites and do the exact same thing as parents that they'd struggled with their own fathers. But with Simba, it's addressed with a complexity; he was still a child when his father died and he wants to emulate a grandiose version of a great man, feeling unable to match him. With Ariel she knows exactly what Triton did wrong, but she does the exact same thing, for absolutely no reason.

I think the reason I enjoyed Kronk’s New Groove was because of he was portrayed. Despite being this huge buff guy, he does things that are not seen as masculine traditionally. He talks with woodland creatures, is shown to be very sensitive at times, and enjoys cooking. He wouldn’t be seen as “traditionally masculine” despite his physical appearance. So trying to earn the approval of his father who’s probably berated him or judged him for not being this tradition masculine guy, was something I sorta enjoyed.

The Lion King is Hamlet. The Lion King II Simba's Pride is Romeo & Juliet. And The Lion King 1 1/2 is Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead which means the entire franchise comes full circle with two stories based on concepts of Shakespeare while the third comes from a concept based on two secondary characters from Hamlet. In my opinion,this means The Lion King has gotten some of the best direct to DVD sequels.

In defence of Stitch has a Glitch's ending, the reasoning behind Stitch coming back to life was set up earlier in the movie when Lilo tells the story of the Goddess Hi'iaka, the final line of that story being that "Love is more powerful than death." Then, during the scene where Stitch comes back to life, they play the same song that not only played when Lilo told that story to Stitch, but also when they practiced that story and dance for the hula competition throughout the movie. I've seen that movie too many times.

Fun fact: the diva dog in Fox and the Hound 2 is voiced by Reba Macintyre. She also voiced a character in one of the late Land Before Time sequels. Like, if I had a nickel for every time Reba Macintyre appeared in an animated direct to video sequel to a well known children's movie, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

What I loved about King of Thieves was how it tied up all of the story and it felt like a definitive end of the whole thing. How did it do that? By having the outro of the movie take us back to the merchant from the start of the first movie wrapping up the tale he started. Perfection.

Am I the only person who really likes Brother Bear? I like how it feels like an actual myth, with a man transforming into a bear and that story working as a kind of an explanation for the group's relation to bears. And the animation is very beautiful. Yeah, the music ruins some great scenes somewhat, but I loved the story.And the Finnish dub, expecially with the two mooses, is quite solid.

I haven't seen the third Little Mermaid in sooo long! Somehow, I remembered the plot being that the ship crashed into Ariel's mom because of some siren shit (the sailors being lured to the rocks by her song) and that's why Triton banned music. Cause it was actually dangerous. That would have made a lot more sense and I can't believe my brain created a fake memory with a more solid plot than the actual movie lol

The first time I watched "An Extremely Goofy Movie" I genuinely thought it was the first movie about Goofy having a relationship with his kid. It was so good as a sequel it could have been it's own stand alone movie

Little Mermaid 2's depiction of somewhat privileged and extremely overprotective yet incredibly clueless parents is spot-on. They will do everything to shelter their child from knowledge of whatever could harm them instead of preparing them to face life's challenges. That never ends well, since thanks to their cluelessness, they will overlook the obvious holes in their plan. I thought it was super realistic. Ask me how I know.

Fun fact: The Tinker Bell movies are actually really interesting, and it was sad that it got canceled due to the studio's shutdown.

Anastasia from the cinderella sequels is EASILY the most complex "villain" given that she just wants to find a happily ever after, it was just the circumstances that made her the way she was! not to mention she still gets to be with the baker in the 3rd movie (just look at the pictures during the credits and you will see anastasia getting her happy ending with the baker!)

Wow the second goofy movie was a direct to video sequel... that shows how much love and care the creators had bc both the story and animation feels like theater levels of quality and up till I always thought it was released in theaters x3

What bugs me about Mulan 2 isn't the romance, it's that: Mulan: Do your duty for the greater good even if you sacrifice yourself. Mulan 2: Ditch duty and the greater good if there is something or someone you want.

Honestly my main complaint with Mulan 2 other than Mushu not learning anything from the original, was that it felt like the movie was made JUST to give Yao, Chien po and Ling girlfriends. And what sucks is that originally the idea for Mulan 2 was that Shan Yu's army was rising from the grave to destroy china and there would be a spirit war between the Huns and the fa family which to me is far more interesting than what we got ngl

I actually like Bambi 2 more than the original, since it genuinely addresses the grief and pain of Bambi loosing his mother, his relationship with his father is well developed, touching, and gives the character more depth than just “stern, tough dad”, with BEAUTIFUL animation, decent pacing and atmosphere, an amazing music score, and you can really tell that the people working on it respected the original, and wanted to make something just as good.

Me and my fellow Atlantis fans, all 8 of us, still cry the IP is completely abandoned. It's a huge shame Disney completely abandoned the concept of early 20th century adventures in the vein of Indiana Jones. We really need more of that.

Fun Fact: The reason why the Return of Jafar feels like a repacked Aladdin the Animated Series was because it was actually suppose to be the Pilot of the show. Probably also explains the short runtime.

Cinderella 3 is and always will be the best direct to DVD sequel and in my opinion it’s better than the first Cinderella😂

fun fact: outside of the fact they wanted to get into the DVD market, a second reason (though this might be just as myth) is that they were sort of embarrassed after the box office failure that was "the rescuers down under" (which was the last Walt Disney animated studios sequel to come out until "Wralph breaks the internet" which then was followed by "Frozen 2" ... which were both rushed messes of movies... maybe they had the right idea keeping sequels out of theaters for almost 2 decades).

You're the first person I've seen on RU-vid who actually GETS why Bambi's dad is done badly in the sequel when most reviewers I've seen claim that's what "makes the sequel better" and sends me into a blind rage.

I didn’t even know an extremely goofy movie was a straight to dvd sequel, I always thought it was a normal sequel cause it’s just that good

Fun Fact: when the Disney Animation Studio was divided into 2 teams to work on "The Lion King" and "Pocahontas", more animators wanted to work on Pocahontas than The Lion King because they thought It would be more well received than The Lion King. Ironically, both of the Pocahontas Films are seen as bad and the first 2 Lion King movies are seen as great. Weird, Huh?

Of all the “main character’s kid” characters, Scamp stands out as actually being established long before the movie. He’s been a recurring character in Disney comics for decades, so when the movie came out he already had a well-known localized name in areas where Disney comics are still a mainstream thing (notably Scandinavia). Considering how comics continuity is usually ignored by Disney’s animation department, for me as a habitual comic reader it was kind of a mindfuck seeing that one character getting a movie at the time.

For me the best was lion king 2... From the music and songs, to the animation, the story, the characters and the really dark moments, it was just the best direct to dvd/vhs movie disney ever made

Just a small correction there. Cinderella 3 is after 2. I know this because the opening song takes place a year after the original, where 2 picks up from. So, the stepmother must have banished the baker from the second movie and after the film’s events, Anastasia finds him, without her mum stopping her. Hence why he appears in the credits of Cinderella 3.

52:14 I'm not sure if it's in the public conscience, but "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead" is not only a sidequel/midquel to Hamlet but also an inspiration for Lion King 1 1/2, being a more comedic take on the Hamlet story viewed from the point of the humorous side characters.

The Lion King sequels were always the best direct-to-dvd Disney movies to me. I like Simba’s Pride because it feels like a genuine continuation of the first movie with new and surprisingly interesting character in Kovu and Zira, and 1 and a half is just freakin’ hilarious.

Here’s the weird thing: An Extremely Goofy Movie is direct-to-video but it looks like it has a higher budget than the first film, which was a theatrical release. A Goofy Movie was actually a direct-to-video movie that was given a theatrical release at the last minute. It surprisingly did pretty well at the box office.

The Disney fastplay monologue still haunts me to this day

Whenever I think back to these movies I just remember how much I miss hand-drawn animation from Disney. Back when these DVD movies were coming out I remember a lot of people criticizing the animation for being lower quality than the theatrical Disney movies, and everyone was hyping up how outdated traditional animation was in contrast to the shiny new 3D stuff coming from Pixar or Dreamworks, yet the animation in most of those DVD movies has aged a lot better than basically any CGI films from the same release years despite being made on a minuscule fraction of the budgets. I'd adore a new Disney movie that looked like Bambi 2 or Cinderella 3 rather than yet another film looking like Tangled or Frozen.

It may just be the parental issues in me talking, but I genuinely like Bambi II. It covered the grief of losing a loved one, the difficulties of trying to be a single parent and doing what's best for your child, while also giving the characters more depth and, well, *character.* Besides, there's something charming about a rugged leader learning to be a father. Lion King 2 had that as well, but little me was more familiar with the forest setting.

I remember vividly the Cinderella 3 giving me nightmares after I watched that. They were so bad that I was terrified to watch the movie again, but somehow remembered it as you showed it in the video. Lady Tremaine was just so scary and threatening that it somehow stayed in my head and I still feel uncomfortable about her. She was just such a good villain to be honest. Non of the other Disney villains made me feel the same way, at least they didn't give me nightmares.

The explanation for the ending of Lilo and Stitch 2 is explained by Lilo’s Hula, or rather the story behind if. About a Hawaiian god jealous of two people’s love, but even after death her love brought him back. Yes, it’s still magic/spiritual stuff, but it was foreshadowed and done well in my opinion.

I still find it hilarious that the solution to keep Melody away from the ocean was NOT to move away from it, but to instead to BUILD A GIANT ASS WALL and still live right next to it. You could have spent that money on an inland manor! Denmark isn't that sea-locked.

Funny story. Back in kindergarten, some kid brought in An Extremely Goofy Movie for us to watch for the end of a regular school day. This was my first time seeing this movie, and I was hooked. I was enjoying it so much that whenever school was finished (the movie didn't finish, BTW), I cried and I wanted to take that random kid's copy of that film home with me. I've since watched it several times, and have enjoyed it every time.

As a much-belated note, there is SORTA a sequel to Hunchback that not only did it justice but improved on it: the broadway musical. Same original musical team but with more freedom to take the story closer to the book which made it darker, more complex, and with a distinctly un-Disnified ending. Highly, HIGHLY recommend if you have access to it. There is one kinda poor quality recording of the whole show on RU-vid, but even just listening through the soundtrack is glorious if you're already familiar with the plot. It's a fairly perfect halfway point between the kid gloves happy ending treatment the Disney movie got and the slightly overdramatic unnecessary plot twists of the original book (because does it really matter if Esmeralda and Quasimodo were switched at birth, like really?) and the couple of added and altered songs are straight up improvements.

I'm sure I'd hate it now, but I liked The Return of Jafar as a kid. A lot. I'm not surprised that it made that much money. "Genies can't kill!" "You'd be surprised what you'll live through." was metal then and it's metal now. Also I've ALWAYS been a fan of Gilbert Gottfried's absolutely irreplaceable voice. RIP to the absolute legend.

Would love to see a third Goofy movie. Have it be ten years later, Max is married to Roxanne, they're about to become parents, and he has to (maybe reluctantly) lean on Goofy due to his experience. They've done childhood with _Goof Troop,_ adolescence with _A Goofy Movie,_ and growing up with _An Extremely Goofy Movie,_ I say it's time they covered adulthood. If they bring back the crew of the first film, I could see us getting something special.

I remember being absolutely blown away by how fantastic Aladdin 3 was - glad you liked it aswell, it's really well made and deserved some form of theatrical release.

Fun fact: If the Atlantis series had gotten made, there would have been a crossover with Gargoyles. We were robbed, I tell you. ROBBED.

I would’ve loved if Kingdom Hearts included Cinderella 3 as the one of the few direct to video movies the series acknowledged. Could you imagine if Sora, Donald, and Goofy witnesses the window scene?

One thing that can really attest the quality of CInderella III... is the amount of "out of context" videos of it on youtube, and they still make me crack a bit. The Second movie felt so boring and uninteresting they just went BONKERS with the third, in quality and writting!

it's almost impressive how badly Return of Jafar handled bringing back one of the best Disney villains ever

I honestly loved kronks new groove. Sure, it definitely had its flaws, but just following kronk as he tries to find something he loves gets me happy anytime I watch it.

47:01 Here a fun fact: The Director of original Atlantis movie was making a sequel called *Atlantis II: Shards of Chaos.* In that sequel, Helga survived the fall from the first movie and she becomes the sequel’s Main villain trying to take over Atlantis. Helga wearing WW1 clothes with a Gas Mask, nod To Darth Vader. Since the first movie, didn't do well in box-office, The sequel got scrapped. It make sense to have that as a sequel and Milo's Returns can just be a tv series. We are living in a dark timeline. And I want to add Martin Short is a national treasure. No one can ever forget him playing as B.E.N from Treasure Planet that was also planned a sequel, but it share the same fate as Atlantis. Cutshort made a video about the Cancelled Treasure Planet 2 movie. Treasure Plant's sequel that was released is only a pc game, Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon

Tim Curry has the same power as Jim Carrey. They elevate the movie or show their in to a higher status. I mean look at the Sonic movie before they fixed the design of Sonic. I was sold on the fact that Robotnik actually felt like Robotnik: a narcissistic psychopath with many robots that obey him. No matter what people were going to go see it to see Carrey be his regularly zany and off-the-walls self. Edit: Missed opportunity to compare Agatha Harkness to the Evil Stepmother in Cinderella 3.

This is far too charming and saved me from my super boring day job! My favorite bit was the “Tim Curry’s luscious animated lips!!”

The 3 princesses from Mulan 2 we're so iconic to me and my sisters growing up. We watched it on repeat and sang their song a bunch of times. Yeah it's nostalgia talking but I agree that they are cute characters and their romance with the soldiers was handled pretty organically.

Aladdin 2 is originally the pilot arc for the TV series while 3 was going to be the series finale. Disney execs were so impressed by the first few episodes of the TV series that they thought to make it not just a TV movie, but a direct-to-video movie. Direct-to-video here means that it’s deemed too bad for cinemas, but it was also deemed too good for television.

When it comes to lists like this Return to Neverland is usually left out. And that's too bad. I actually liked that sequel. The fast-paced animation better fits the slap-stick humor of Captain Hook. That being said, this is exceedingly entertaining. Thank you for all of your hard work, Just Stop!

"A goofy movie 2" is a masterpiece. The villain Bradley Uppercrust III was always my favourate character, I always thought it was Bradley Uppercut III until I found this video. And even his reaction to his ultimate demise in the movie was in character and was genuinely jaw dropping to me on how great this character is. Honestly, if Bradley Uppercrust III wasn't in A Goofy Movie 2 I wouldn't have liked the movie or even felt like watching it 30 times. + 41:08

Another 2nd sequel)

Cinderella 3 is such a good sequel, I haven’t watched it in forever but I liked that one of the evil stepsisters had a change of heart moment. Now for an Extremely Goofy Movie…..no thoughts, just Bradley Uppercrust III, The Librarian, and Beret Girl, I only watch that movie for those three they’re so hot

I’m shocked that Hunchback, of all movies, got a sequel, but not Snow White

I remember not being the biggest Aladdin fan as a kid, but LOVING Aladdin and the Prince of Thieves. I just vibed so much more with the kind of darker, mystery intrigue, band of thieves elements and Aladdin's relationship with his dad. I also really like Lion King 2, even if that's mostly nostalgia talking.

1:24:00 You are so right!! I can’t believe I never saw it before. It was implied in the origina, that Ursula used to have some high position in Atlantica until she did some f*ed up shit and got herself kicked out. They had a perfect opportunity to dig into that in the midquel, it could’ve been so cool, but nooooo of course they did singing Footloose instead 🙄

fun fact about Aladdin: you nailed it, both of its sequels really were never intended to be anything more than bookends to the TV show. their success encouraged disney to make sequels because money. also Lion King 2 is basically just a movie version of an expansion pack to a videogame, and the only bad part was the random budget cut/censorship on the villains death at the end which made the pacing go lopsided for a second.

Kronks new groove is actually one of, if not, my favorite direct to dvd sequel. Nostalgia might have a bit to do with it but I also just think it's funny and like it. (Btw I also think "An extremely goofy movie" doesn't count cause that of course is vastly better)

I love Cinderella 3, and didn't know till a year ago how much of a masterpiece it really is.

Fun personal fact! Was really confused on why Return to Neverland wasn't included until i found out that it actually did have a theatrical release but literally no one talks ever talks about it and i'm worried i had actually misremembered the studio that made it. It is Disney, but under the Disney MovieToons name

I remember watching Lion King 1 1/2 so much as a kid I broke the DVD (like not physically, the disc just stopped working and everything glitched out when I played it) and I became pretty obsessed with Meerkats after that, they just seemed like one of the most interesting animals on the planet to me. Cinderella 3 was better than it should have been honestly, and I really enjoy the idea that Anastasia wasn't evil to be evil, but because of her upbringing. It felt a lot more real and made her redemption enjoyable. Scamps Adventure was also one of my favorites as a kid, but it probably helped that my nickname growing up was "Angel" so I identified with the character more because of it. Overall, I could probably live without the rest of these movies, but those 3 do mean a lot to my childhood in particular, and might actually mean more to me than their original counterparts.

Cinderella 3 was actually an adaptation of a Disney World Stage Show performed in front of Cinderella Castle. Despite this, the film writers would've had to have made changes and come up with new ideas to better fit the Silver Screen medium. Thought that'd be an interesting factoid to share.

Fun fact about the little mermaid sequel. I worked in Epcot, in the Akershus festning resturant, and we were told to NEVER bring that sequel up around guests. Ever. XD We could only acknowledge it if the guests brought it up first, and I dont remember but we were given some spiel about what to answer to kind of handwave away why Melody wouldnt be with her mother at the restaurant with the other princesses. Personally, I love the idea of the princesses all meeting and doting on Melody. Is Ariel the only princess to ever have gotten a child, who we see on screen? Aside from Nala I mean. XD

I will say I can admire the 101 Dalmatians sequel for trying to upgrade the sketch-like artstyle of the original into HD instead of just using the stock low-budget Disney artstyle. Also WE STAN CGI TIM CURRY ORGAN

The King of thieves is probably my favorite Disney movie. It kinda remind me of treasure planet but heavily focusing more on The protagonist and his father and the thing he’s been heavily obsessed about. Interesting thing about this movie is they used to aired it on the Disney Channel until for unknown reasons they stop airing Disney movies on their channels.😺

Tell me you haven't read Bambi, without telling me you haven't read Bambi: "I'm okay with the inclusion of the jerk deer." But seriously, Bambi 2 very slightly helps make the story closer to the original story is it based off of (the original story is hella dark). The original source of Bambi has a lot more scenes/chapters of The Great Prince teaching Bambi how to survive as a deer than the original movie does. They softened The Great Prince just enough in Bambi 2 to make it complying with the first Bambi movie. Also, they actually bothered to explain Ronno's aggression to Bambi which is explored for 2 chapters in the original book.

In hunchback two while your right about what you said I think he realized that the surge in crime happened only after the circus came to town which is a pretty big coincidence

I started completely geeking when An Extremely Goofy Movie was brought up. Such a great movie. So God damned nostalgic for me

Out of all the Disney sequels, I have the biggest grudge against Hunchback 2. My family's VHS of The Emperor's New Groove had a trailer praising it for its sweet story and rewatch-ability, so I had high expectations when I finally got to see it. I was so disappointed

Bambi 2 was actually one of my favorite movies as a kid. I remember my mom picking it up for me at Blockbuster. Something about the colors, music and pacing really appealed to me. I've read the book Bambi is based on and I like it took elements from the book like the jerky yearling, Ronno and Bambi being lead by a deer call saying "I'm here":

I absolutely LOVED Ariel’s beginning. My parents bought this for me before any of the OG Disney movie and it’s still a guilty pleasure of mine :)

Dude that CGI organ was terrifying as a child

Fun Fact: Did you know that Pocahontas 1 was actually the main movie that Disney had all there attention on and The Lion King 1 was the less important movie being held by the B team Pretty ironic isn't it

Sound of Music did the "dad hates singing" trope (I guess it is at this point lmaoo) INCREDIBLY well and they did it decades before the little mermaid 3. Not to mention in the first movie they literally put on a musical performance for him. It doesn't even make sense!!!

It's so funny how they really tried to do a fake out death in THE LITTLE MERMAID 3. You know... *the movie that takes place before the first movie!* It would've been way too dark, but imagine if Ariel did die and they like did a spell to bring her back or something, at least that would've been interesting lol

“Ever wanted to know what happened after happily ever after?” “N-no?” “Too bad! Start the machine!!!”

So as most people know the Lion King was influenced by Shakespeare's Hamlet, and a lot of people say that Lion King 2 was influenced by Romeo and juliet. If we follow that, some people have argued that Lion King 1 1/2 was influenced by the play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, an absurdist / satirical play from the 1960s showing the events of Hamlet but from the comic reliefs perspective.

Bro it took me 2 weeks to finally finish this video (watching it in small segments lol), but it was worth it! Fun premise, fun to hear about ones I've never seen. And I liked hearing your different opinions on some of the ones I remember with fond nostalgia! Can tell a ton of work went into this!

I will say, with regards to Lion King 2: Wasn’t that movie given a theater release where it actually did quite well? Also, yeah, love that movie. I’d argue that “He Lives In You” is the perfect intro to a sequel to Lion King and is on-par with Circle of Life in terms of quality.

Interesting thing about Organ Tim Curry plan in BEC, if his plan go as it is, this would eventually lead to the death of everyone except beast in the castle. The commentary in the first movie confirmed when the last petal falls beast would devolve into a literal beast and all the servants (Including Forte) would die as they turn into real objects. Imagine Beast is sitting on his chair next to the fire, Belle is gone, servants all rusted upset knowing it coming to an end and the only thing heard throughout the halls is Fortes music. Right as the last petal the music stops. Nothing but quiet in the halls when suddenly a monstrous roar echo through the halls.

King of Thieves was one of the only kid's movies my grandparents had on VHS and between the ages of 2-5, I literally must've watched it over 100 times. I always wondered if nostalgia clouded my judgement on it. Glad to see others agree it's a certified banger (for a disney sequel, at least)!

It's weird to think that in the 90's and 2000's every Disney movie would get a sequel, and then in the 2010s we only got 2 sequels.

This didnt even feel like an hour and twenty minutes. You kept it all interesting from beginning to end. It was a really well done video! :D

For some reason as a kid I LOVED little mermaid 2. I think looking back on it it’s because Ariel was my favorite princess and I could imagine myself in Melody’s shoes, a little girl with a secret destiny who gets to turn into a mermaid and has Ariel for a mom and Eric for a dad. I wanted to be Melody a lot I think

17:35- Honestly, I'm just glad to finally see someone acknowledge that was a thing. Every other time people tackle the direct-to-video sequels, they completely ignore that one.

Aladdin 3 is such an underrated gem and I'm glad it's getting more appreciation.

I am extremely late to this video, but it is so nice to see someone give the praise that 101 Dalamatians 2 deserves.

I remember when my family went to the Video Store, we wanted to rent a few things (I rented the Super Mario Brothers Super Show DVD to which my mom later lied and told me they didn't have anymore because I watched it THAT frequently) and my sister wanted to rent Beauty and the Beast, I loved the film and still do. but she accidentally picked up "Belle's Magical World" it wasn't even her fault, the DVD was in the wrong box. We watched all of it, and every single person watching fell asleep, and we went to the video store the next day to exchange the film for a refund, and an on-the-house rental of Lion King.

Honestly, I’m shocked at just how many good films are here. I mean, from what I heard about these sequels I thought every single one other than the lion king sequels where awful, but going through them like this makes me realize the quality is surprisingly split. The biggest surprise was easily Cinderella 3 and Aladdin 3, those two have no right too be as good as they are.

CGI Organ Tim Curry is so memorable that as a kid I didn't remember where he came from and thought for a time that he was from the actual movie.

I love this video. It's not often that I see a video that's mostly positivity about smaller films. A lot of the content I'm recommended is videos about "This thing is horrible, but here's one thing good about it" or "I HATE THIS and you should too". Love the humor and the genuine commentary about the films. I really want to watch the 3rd Aladdin film and the second Lion King film now.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is my favorite movie of all time, gargoyles and all. Even though I was 12, when the sequel came out I was filled with so much rage. Giving Quasi a love interest is so insanely insulting to his character I just...hrrrrgggg I'm so mad. It doesn't exist. It doesn't exist. It doesn't exist.

I’m a big brother bear fan, and the reason I don’t like the sequel is that it basically throws aside the “family bonds” thing of the first film, and doesn’t do good with the “falling in love” as Nina is constantly telling Kenai he’s screwing up and that she doesn’t want to be there. That’s not showing love at all.

For once someone loves lion king 2 as much as me 😂 I grew up with it and watched it more than the first, as I found the friendship in it more interesting and the conflict reflecting Romeo and Juliet more intriguing. Also had a kid crush on main character edgy boy don’t judge me 😂

I loved the little mermaid sequel. Melody is so relatable.

I owned and watched a good amount of Disney sequels as a kid and movies like Lion King 2, King of Thieves, Extremely Goofy Movies are ones I watched a lot and think they hold up now. Then there are movies that I remember wanting to see l like Hunchback 2 and Fox and the Hound 2, then years later hearing more about them and seeing bits and pieces and thinking I might’ve dodged a bullet there.
