Disney direct-to-video sequels

[powerjake]

When looking back to all the direct-to-video sequels from The Return of Jafar to The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning. These are always a hit or miss for the fans depending on how the stories were written. So how would you rate the movies from the best to the worst.

I liked The Return of Jafar, Aladdin and the King of Thieves, The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, and The Lion King 1½.

The ones I thought were really bad were Tarzan II, Bambi II, and Mulan II.

I didn't hear anything nice about Belle's Magical World and Hunchback of Notre Dome II.

You thought Bambi II was bad? I thought it was one of the better ones. It’s way out of tone with the original, but it is good in its own right. It felt like they put effort into it and it wasn’t a heartless cash grab.

I’m rewatching the sequels on Disney +. So far most of them are just bland and forgettable.

I kind of like the woman that falls for Quasimodo. Although the story is unnecessary, I’m glad he ended up with someone.

Never saw Belle's Magical World (though I remember seeing the commercials for it as a kid).

I remember owning the Disney sequels on tape as a child (Return to the Sea, Cinderella II, Scamp's Adventure, Patch's London Adventure, etc.) and I thought they seem to be fair and not perfect.

It makes me wonder how things would be if DIsney continued that line and made direct-to-video sequels to their 2010 through 2019 theatrical CGI movies.
