The trend lasted until the late 00s although some sequels like Frozen II were released much more recently when Disney execs decided to move towards the more lucrative and probably superior live-action remake model Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures These include recent live-action remakes like The Lion King (2019), Cinderella (2015), and Aladdin (2019). Anyways I found an IMDB list that gives a pretty definitive index of some 33 Disney animated sequels Using this and the criteria I developed below I decided to watch each of these movies and a couple of extra ones I thought deserved throwing in and rank them according merit Sam Cleal / Via Buzzfeed
Without further ado here is every Disney animated sequel ranked from zero to hero Let s go
35 Belle s Magical World 1998 Walt Disney Home Video We begin with an anthology movie from the late '90s, which follows everyone's favourite Disney bookworm, Belle. It's quite common for Disney sequels to be made up of three or four TV episodes packaged together, and this is by far the worst of them all.

The animation is baddd. Honestly, Belle often looks like she has a lazy eye. The Beast is aggressively unlikeable, and Belle is often forced to comfort him when he's being utterly terrible, which just isn't a great message for kids.

We follow lion cub Kion – Simba's son and youngest child – as he takes his place as the leader of The Lion Guard, a team who protect the Pride Lands. This movie was first released on the Disney Channel and led into a TV series of the same name – another common thing that Disney does.

33 Atlantis Milo s Return 2003 Walt Disney Home Entertainment This is the follow-up to a lesser-known Disney film about a diverse group of twentieth-century explorers finding Atlantis. The animated style is quite a step down from the first film (this will be a recurrent theme in this post), and the plot has pretty much nothing to do with the original.

The hero characters revisit a much-improved Atlantis, then find a weak-ass reason to return to the surface to fight various foes. It's quite episodic, and feels more like a super long vintage Scooby Doo episode than a Disney movie.

Again, it's nothing to do with the original heartwarming story. The animation style is much newer, and even mixes in some 3D elements, which I personally felt it didn't need. Randomly, the film features the voices of Reba McEntire and Patrick Swayze, but even they aren't enough to save the meandering plot.

Quasimodo is forlorn and wants to find somebody to love; cue a beautiful lady with next-to-no backstory who does love him! There's a basic plot to steal a bell going on, but the villain behind that is pretty forgettable.

There's not much Esmeralda content because she's married and has nothing to contribute now (in fact, this movie is lowkey obsessed with characters being paired off, down to the bloody horses and the gargoyles)! It's basically a rehash of the first movie, but I guess it's nice to know that Quasimodo gets a happy ending! My score: 2/10

The film explores Kronk's relationship with his curmudgeonly father, and contains three anthology stories: the first is okay, the second one really drags, and the third is actually alright and has some funny moments. There are some weird choices in the film though – like Yzma being half woman half cat, and one of the newly introduced characters, who looks to be Peruvian, speaking with a really posh English accent.

Set in WASP America during the run up to Independence Day, the movie follows Scamp – Lady and Tramp's son – who feels like he doesn't fit in with his family and wants to be free. He sets his eyes on a manic pixie dream pooch and runs away to become a street dog.

IRL, Pocahontas did sail to England, and she likely was something of a diplomat between her people and the European settlers, but she tragically died before she returned to America. What this movie does do well is give us a fun snapshot of Jacobean London; provide entertaining and emotive moments; and stay true to the fierceness and integrity we have come to associate with Pocahontas. FYI, John Smith stans need not watch.

There are a lot of plot contrivances, like the Disney princess sleepover, which are fun but a little distracting. It was cool to see how filmmakers represented modern internet culture, and we sure loved getting a 'lil shout-out, but to me this movie was kind of random.

Mowgli has moved into a village but still feels tied to the jungle and his friends. He's abducted by Baloo who wants Mowgli to leave the village and live with him, but Shere Khan (actually scary AF) is still at large and after revenge.

13 Brother Bear 2 2006 Walt Disney Home Entertainment One of the most underrated Disney movies is Brother Bear, so I was excited for this sequel and to see if it would make me bawl my eyes out like the first one did. The truth is the plot is pretty heavy-handed from the beginning, and you can see what's coming a mile off.

Kenai is now voiced by Patrick Dempsey, which didn't work for me. I nearly didn't finish it, but I'm super glad I did because the last 20 minutes really turned the film around. Everything sort of shifts and suddenly it's life or death and you care about the characters just like you did in the first movie!

12 Peter Pan 2 Return to Never Land 2002 Buena Vista Pictures So one thing I will say is, I LOVE it when a sequel follows the son or daughter of a character from the original film – it's just so fun! In this case, it's Wendy's young daughter Jane, a diehard cynic who's just trying to get through the trauma of being a kid in London during World War II.

Even when she gets whisked off to Never Land, she's not feeling it AT ALL and in that sense, she's actually quite an interesting lead. The animation is light years ahead of the 1953 original, and is actually super imaginative.

The animation is a little advert-like, but it's still very good, although Flynn is sadly not as hot as in the first film. I'll also say that the Lady Caine revenge plot is not handled in the best way, and IMO doesn't portray the working classes well at all. My score: 7/10

A disastrous fall separates him from the pack and he must learn to fend for himself in the jungle, including hiding from the mystery "Zugor"! Along the way he meets some entertaining new characters including a misanthropic old gorilla and an offbeat little family of gorillas – think Everybody Loves Raymond but apes.

This sequel is basically a reboot of that exact format, and features eight new self-contained sequences inspired by and set to classical compositions from the likes of Beethoven, Stravinsky, and Camille Saint-Saëns. Several famous faces appear to introduce each chapter, and the film regularly references the first Fantasia from 1940. This sequel of full of charm, character, and ribbony music that will entertain you whilst also make you feel fancy AF.

The animation is great, and we get to see a lot of new stuff like where Timon grew up, where he lived with Pumbaa, and what teen Simba was like! The film also lowkey suggests the queerness of this pairing, which is really fun to see. It meanders a little towards the end, but I definitely recommend this to any Disney fan!

4 The Rescuers Down Under 1990 Buena Vista Pictures If you don't know The Rescuers, it's basically a really lovely vintage Disney film about a pair of mouse detectives who rescue an endearingly sweet little American girl. This sequel features the same mice, but this time they're off to Oz to rescue a little boy kidnapped by an evil outback poacher. The voice acting is great, and the animation style is much more up to date than the original – indeed it's actually the first ever fully digital feature film!

This sequel takes place before and after the events of the main film: a Christmas party is being held at the prince's castle when the human Mrs Potts begins to tell a story from back when they were all cursed. It has a banging soundtrack (including bops like "Stories" and "As Long As There's Christmas"), and a ton of new characters who are all brilliant.

All of the main characters really come alive – Lady Tremaine's evil soars to new heights, Prince Charming turns into this swashbuckling stud, Cinderella becomes this tenacious bad bih, and Anastasia – well, I just couldn't help but fall in love with how vulnerable she is.
