So the much mocked series of Disney direct to video animated movies, insert you Aladin IV and V jokes here. yup it's animation is cheap to what we are used to from Disney, and there a lot of sequels that don't need to or shouldn't have happened.
But there are few good ones, right? What are some of your favorites?
For me, the ones that are top notch, the Aladin and Lion King sequels, Bambi II (though really that deserves the 1 1/2 title) and Cinderella III.
If I had to pick a favorite, it is a tie between Cinderella III and Return of Jafar, what can I say I am a sucker for redemption stories.

1. Aladdin 2: Return of Jafar. I am one of the few people who enjoyed the sequel much more than the original.
2. Lion King 2: Simba's Pride. I actually didn't enjoy it nearly as much as the original. However, when you watch it on its own merits and don't compare it to the original, it is a fairly decent film.

Both Aladdin sequels were incredibly solid.

Both Aladdin sequels were incredibly solid. And may I add the TV series is underately solid as well. Everything Aladdin animated is good. |

Yeah, the Aladdin sequels were alright. Simbas Pride is eh..could of been a lot better but the premise is pretty much what you’d want in a sequel. I kinda liked Pocahontas II. I remember being excited about the inclusion of John Rolfe.

Lion King 1 1/12 isn't the best, but I find it insanely funny.

Probably the third Cinderella and Lion King 1 1/2. The Lady and the Tramp based one was cute as well.

Been quite a while since I've seen them, but I seem to remember the Lilo and Stitch sequels being really enjoyable.
EDIT: Or I'm possibly blinded by my love of 625. That dude's awesome

Cinderella 3 didn't have any right being as good as it was. Goddamn, was I stunned they made that movie and that I enjoyed it so much. Both Aladdin sequels were incredibly solid. The animation is a horror, though. Not done with the movie budget, but with the TV budget........which means the animated series probably hasn't aged well whatsoever either, and THAT is a sight I'm afraid to see again (but really want to). I saw some of those Tinker Bell movies over the years and they......seem very nice. I was sad to hear that DisneyToon Studios, who made a lot of the direct to video movies shut down earlier this year (after being inactive for a couple years). Apparently there was a 3rd Planes movie on the drawing boards still, that's now officially dead. |

Return to Neverland (yes I know it got some theatrical runs but bear with me) definitely has some weak spots with its songs, and the octopus is a goofy replacement for the crocodile.
However Jane is a genuinely well written and contrasting protagonist to Wendy; leading to an overall more interesting relationship with Peter as a result. It also makes effective use incorporating elements from the original story that didn't make it into the 53 film.

Since I am on a Donald Duck kick, let me mention something about Cinderella and the character Anastasea and how the voices actress have this weird connection. The voice of Anastasea in the sequels is the currect voice of Daisy Duck, but did you know the Anastasea she was the voice of Donald (and Daisy?) son in the short "How To Have An Accident At Work".

Current as in Mickey and the Roadster Racers? (I have kids and it's actually pretty cute) |

Definitely... Cinderella III, and let's just add the last third of Cinderella II for good measurs.
I know these two stories retcon each other, however I'm glad Disney decided to focus on Anastasia and give her a chance of redemption and happyness. I don't remember another animated movie in which the protagonist is average lookling/ugly compared to other heroines, and yet she searches and finds love in a natural way.
