The Sequels won't stop!
Just when you may have thought Disney would learn their lesson and primarily stop making sequels to classics, the next wave of stinkers are coming sooner than we would like.
Get ready for... Cinderella III - Apparently the Evil step Mother is able to turn back time and keep Cinderella from becoming a Princess.  Brother Bear II - I don't know, to me... this story was complete at the end of the first movie. Fox and the Hound II - Another cute classic where a sequel really seems unneccessary, even on profit terms. Bambi II - Another Pointless sequel to fill in the gaps during Bambi's time with his father in the woods Kronk's New Groove - Perhaps the best potential sequel of the bunch. At least this is more of a side movie, rather than a direct sequel. Leroy and Stitch - OK, sure Stitch has some interesting qualities to explore, but after bad attractions, two sequels, a cartoon series, and some video games... enough is enough Peter and the StarChasers - This is interesting and much furthur down the road. A book has been written on what transpired in Neverland before Wendy. This Cartoon is supposedly the next animated feature to be made by Disney for theatres (so I hear). This is a true prequel to a classic based on a book rather than something just thrown together for a money making sequel. I will not judge this one until I find out more about it first. Funny, Disney is making awesome live action movies like Narnia and Pirates, but the classics that started the company have mostly gone down hill with commercializing and quick money. I'm sure it is only a matter of time before they ruin Snow White.

Re: The Sequels won't stop!
Hey Spidey! Good to see ya! OOOOhhhhh and the time is getting close for that SpiderGirl to arrive too!
I agree with you--Disney seems to be reaching a bit far with some of these sequels. The only one I am looking forward to is Kronk's New Groove--gotta love Puddy! Is the author of Peter and the Star Chasers the same one that wrote Keepers of the Kingdom?

Re: The Sequels won't stop!
Oh, come now, there's always room for a good sequel:
Dopey Grows A Beard Sleeping Beauty II: Aurora's Narcolepsy Alice in Rehab Land Gentleman and the Skank (sequel to Lady & the Tramp. I'm picturing Brittney Spears doing the voice over  )Pete's Unicorn (squeal to Pete's Dragon) 20K Leagues Above the Sea The possibilities are endless! You guys are way too critical on people who, in lieu of having an original thought of their own, work HARD to live off the coat tales of true artists. SHAME ON YOU!

Re: The Sequels won't stop!
It saddens me that they have no original ideas for movies and have to make these ridiculous 2' and 3's......I don't usually even bother to watch them cause my experience is they usually don't hold up to the original....why remake or sequel classics anyway? I cna think of hundreds of movie ideas...maybe we should start a thread here for movie ideas and then forward it over to disney so they stop doing this nonsense.

Re: The Sequels won't stop!
AHHHHH!!!!! Make them stop!
 They pretty much all sound appalling--especially the Cinderella one. That's awful!

Re: The Sequels won't stop!
I read Peter & The Star Chasers over my last WDW trip (co-written by funny man Dave Barry). It is a fantastic book! However, I think it would be better as a live-action film instead of animated...

(covers her ears and closes her eyes)
Make it stop please, mommy! This is getting crazy, although I have given in slightly. DD is a HUGE stitch fan, so we have all three of his movies. And, DD now has Belle's enchanted Christmas (which I just bought off of ebay recently). But really, Bambi II??? C'mon!!

Re: The Sequels won't stop!
I don't mind the sequels, I just wish the writers would have as much of an imagination as the original writers when doing these money making, oh excuse me, sequels.
Only 382 days left before DISNEY :-)

Re: The Sequels won't stop!
of course, Disney wouldn't keep making them if people weren't buying them.

Re: The Sequels won't stop!
Ah Cavey, that is oh so true. Guess what? I finally stopped buying them and I think others are beginning to at least be more selective on which ones they buy as well.
Now tell me... doesn't Through the Looking Glass make more sense than Cinderella III? Alice could justify a sequel before many of the choices they have chosen so far. Aladdin made since too, unfortunately they kinda flubbed the sequel without Robin Williams and not going full blown movie budget. Then the third one just had an awful story. There was a lot more of the existing Arabian Nights stories they could have tapped into if they had tried a little harder. Oh, I forget Brother Bear II. I just added it to post #1.
