What do you think of the second parts of Disney's animations?

Answer 1

Do you mean the sequels to the original films? I'm guessing that's what you mean.

I think that generally a sequel is not nearly as well-thought-out as the original. It's a corporate attempt by a media conglomerate to eek out a few more bucks from a franchise and brand that they've spent a lot of money to promote.

We used to joke about "Rocky XXVII" coming out someday. But Disney's taking it to a whole new level, sometimes rushing their sequels direct-to-DisneyChannel or direct-to-DVD, and it's a 60-70 minute film that hardly counts as a film at all. Just grabbing another $20-30 from anyone who enjoyed the original.

I wish they'd take more risks like they did in the old days. They'd have better films.

Answer 2

Most sequels I've seen made by Disney aren't as good as the originals, like The Little Mermaid 2. The original was beautiful and I loved it as a kid, However, the sequel was a real let down. It seemed shorter, the plot was weak and I wasn't warming up to Melody. The only character I liked Little was Morgana, Ursula's sister, at least she was abit more realistic than the other wooden characters.

Answer 3

If you mean sequels, I think some are better than others. "Toy Story 2" was as good as or better than the original, but most of the direct-to-video sequels weren't as good as the originals. Of course that's probably why they weren't released to theaters. They weren't up to Disney's usual standards. Pixar has wisely avoided sequels for the most part (with the exception of "Toy Story 2"), preferring to come up with new ideas, but I'd pay to see a sequel to "The Incredibles".

[edit]
On second thought, maybe even "The Incredibles" is better left alone. As much as I love the characters and would like to see them do more, I realize that it was largely the conflict between their efforts to stay in hiding and their secret desire to be heroes that made the movie so entertaining.

Answer 4

Disney cartoons are aimed at children, so we have to answer this from that standpoint. Children aren't so critical about their viewing, and I've known friends' children who have preferred the sequel to the original just because they saw the sequel in the cinema and the original at home on a DVD.

If adults keep going to see sequels, why should we expect different behaviour from children?

Who can blame film-makers for cashing in on a sure-fired winner?

Answer 5

I'm a bit old to be concerned about cartoons anymore but i think it spoils the original.the sequel is never as good normally and the original always ended with a happy ever after then came back with a new drama in the sequel.for the children though i suppose the originals might be a bit out dated now..

Answer 6

Are you talking about sequel? I think in general sequels are weaker than the original. That's the nature of the beast. Trying to recreate the success of a previously popular movie very rarely turns out well.

Answer 7

I hate sequels and DTVs. They ruin the magic of the original film (:
