Top 10 Best Disney Sequels
Disney has released many memorable movies. For some people, the sequels are a laughing stock. This is sad because Disney has actually created a few good sequels. They may not be like the original but they can be entertaining.Yes, this movie does have its faults, and there are continuity errors from the first film, but most of those can be explained by decent fan theories. It's shaky, but still understandable. Considering how bad Disney sequels usually are, and that this was a sequel to The Lion King, of all things, it's actually pretty good.
The songs, animation, story, and characters are all good, except for maybe Rafiki's solo, but that's debatable. They did feature more comic relief, but it's not overdone. It's spread out through certain parts of the movie just right. It's beautiful, funny, heart-wrenching, badass, and terrifying. I love it.
The fact that most of the original voice actors reprised their roles is awesome. Good job, Disney! Two thumbs up!
Are you kidding me? How is this below The Lion King II?
This movie was much darker and more emotional than the previous Toy Story movies (the part where Andy left was heartbreaking) and it brought a new meaning to the word toy.
It is quite simply the pinnacle of animated movies, and the fact that it's not #1 is just infuriating.
The only one true to the form of the original. Creative, funny, and still heart-clutching, with a better character arc than Toy Story 2.
I daresay this one was better than the first and second.
I don't understand how Toy Story 2 isn't higher on this list! It's an incredible movie and a big part of my childhood. It introduced new characters while also extending the story arcs of characters from the first movie. 10/10
When I was younger, I thought that Jessie was Woody's girlfriend.
This movie needs to be number one. It's way better than most of the Disney sequels.
Whoever says Aladdin sucks could not be more wrong. Aladdin is the perfect balance of adventure and romance, teaching valuable life lessons about being happy with who you are and loving someone regardless of their wealth.
Jasmine didn't love Aladdin for anything except himself and who he was as a person. As a princess, she wasn't impressed with flashy stuff since that's what she was used to every day. She wanted something different and someone who did not want to marry her because she was a princess, but for what kind of person she was.
Aladdin fell in love with Jasmine in the marketplace, not knowing she was a princess because she was wearing street clothes. When he found out she was a princess, he wanted to be with her because he liked her for herself, not because she was rich or a princess. It just made him want to impress her because he thought she deserved the best.
This sequel is not supposed to follow the story of what happens after "happily ever after," which people don't really care about. Cinderella II would be better if Cinderella and Charming had a kid who saves the castle from destruction, or something like that, just like The Little Mermaid II.
Or if there's a "bad" version of the Fairy Godmother who helps the stepmother destroy everything, that would be cool because it has a plot. But this sequel is the most original sequel I have ever seen. It explores what would happen under different circumstances and what happens if the "happily ever after" happens to the wrong person.
That's why I love this movie so much and can't stop being obsessed with it!
I feel that this is a rare Disney sequel, one that captures the joys, beauty, and character of the original while bringing forth a new perspective and plot that adds to and doesn't detract from the original plot.
Bambi II is by far the best straight-to-DVD sequel, with wonderful music, beautiful animation, and incredible acting. This is also one of the few Disney movies that explores the father-son relationship, and it does so flawlessly!
The Great Prince begins very aloof with Bambi, but he gradually continues to grow closer to his son and understand him more. I feel that this movie captures your heart in more ways than one! It's such a precious movie!
This movie is seriously UNDERRATED and should get more recognition. The characters, storyline, animation, and writing are all brilliant.
It's superior to the original, and that is extremely RARE for a Disney sequel, which usually ranges from being just okay to awful abomination, with MOST falling into the latter category.
Great movie. I prefer it over the original as I think it has a better storyline. The characters are very likable and it's quite the adventure.
It even has a little romance.
Easily the best story of any Disney sequel (as long as you don't include Pixar). Also, Robin Williams returned as the Genie, and he was brilliant. While it was not as good as the original's music, the music in this movie was good.
King of Thieves may almost be better than the first movie. Not the best, but it's great.
Okay, I'm just gonna say it. I liked this movie. Yes, it did have its problems, but I thought it was an alright movie.
The first Mulan was easily one of the best animated movies of all time, but I still like this movie. It was fun.
To be honest, I think this is my favorite Disney sequel. The boys get a "Girl Worth Fighting For." Although the plot was really good and the script was great, Mulan was the only character I think was not like she was in the first movie. She acted differently.
Overall, the movie was good. Not as good as the first, but good.
Some say it's awesome because it's funny. Maybe I'm too immature or just forgot about the majority of the plot, but I can't recall laughing that much, minus the scenes with Timon's uncle. Those were hilarious.
Still a good movie, though.
I actually like this better than The Lion King.
The Newcomers
This movie is better than the original. Disney put so much effort into this.
I'm really surprised Frozen 2 didn't make it into the top. I usually hate Disney sequels, but I loved Frozen 2.
Why isn't this number one? This was awesome!
How in the world is this not on here? One of my most favorite sequels ever.
This should be number one. This, Cinderella 3, and Little Mermaid 2 are all the best sequels I have ever witnessed in my whole life!
Probably the most underrated Disney movie.
SPOILER WARNING!
Honestly, I think this movie gets WAY TOO MUCH HATE. Is it better than the first movie? No, but it is decent in my opinion. The story isn't amazing, but it is okay.
What I like about this film is seeing how Ariel has become a mature mother and now understands how her father felt in the first film about wanting to keep their child safe while still being a good parent. Though keeping her mermaid life a secret from Melody caused many problems in the movie, Ariel was willing to do what was necessary to make things right with her daughter.
I also like that King Triton's explosive temper has been eliminated and now he has a much calmer demeanor, and he is finally accepting of humans.
Awesome story, awesome scenes, awesome music, and the Kraken is awesome. The scene where the Kraken eats Jack is just... wow. Definitely one of the best Disney sequels.
Scamp's Adventure is one of those rare instances where the sequel is better than the original. I loved it and the new characters, especially Angel! She was a real doll.
This movie doesn't get the praise it deserves and probably packs the most important lesson of all: the importance and generosity of a caring family and staying close to your loved ones.
Very fluid and smooth animation, good dialogue, and lovely characters top it off. While it may not be as charming as the original, it still stands strong and is a heartwarming watch nonetheless.
I loved it when it came out when I was a kid, and I can still pop it in the player and enjoy it just as much today as I did back then. All A's for Lady and the Tramp II!
This is the best sequel ever! I love it. There are no words to describe how good this movie is.
It's amazing to see how much Disney has improved on sequels.
This movie was great. I loved seeing Ariel and her sisters interacting. However, the villain was weak, and the music was not so good.
However, the story and animation were great. I loved this movie!
People are upset because Wendy is now an adult, so the Peter-Wendy couple is no longer possible. But this would have been true either way. Peter doesn't leave Neverland but returns to it at the end of Peter Pan.
This is simply a fun way to keep Peter Pan's story alive. I am all for a third movie about Jane's daughter and Wendy's granddaughter also going to Neverland. The movie was very good. It didn't even feel much like a sequel, but more of a movie on its own. Jane was also a great character, more interesting than Wendy at least to me.
To me, all sequels that star new characters are the better ones because they feel like original movies. (The Lion King II, The Little Mermaid II, Lady and the Tramp II, and this one.)
How is this movie not higher on the list? It has got to be the best ever direct-to-video Disney sequel, or to be specific, midquel. I love this movie!
Enough with The Lion King, people. All three of those films are terrible.
A lot of people hate this movie, but I love it! I used to watch this as a child and I loved it. "Stories" was one of my favorite songs from Disney movies.
I LOVE this movie. Watched it so much when I was little. There's a very interesting villain, some sweet songs, and charming new characters.
This movie is truly the best Pixar sequel behind Toy Story.
For me, this movie is number one. It still doesn't beat the first one, though.
Best Disney sequel. Really hilarious and totally heartbreaking. I cried!
I hate this movie so much. It's so boring, and there's nothing to watch!
