What are your thoughts on Disney making another sequel to a Disney classic.

I think it kills the classicness.

Max Whittaker · 02-15-2002, 08:50 PM

Oops! Sorry. Incase you didn't know, they are making a sequel to Cinderella.

They are also making one for Peter Pan or have maked.

Hmmm, it WOULD make the shows less "classic-like" but I guess, they're running out of ideas for new Disney flims, they have to make some money one way or another, lol.

Just my thoughts.

If you want to see what I thought of Peter Pan 2...its re-freakin-diculous!!!!!! (And it's in the post you've been waiting for how they **EXPLICTIVE DELETED** -ed it up royally!)

I saw the preview for Cinderella 2: Dreams Come True and it's coming to video Tuesday the 26th...I-AM-NOT-HAPPY!!!!!

Remember how I said I was going to write the next Disney masterpiece? Well NOW I am on a mission. I swear I am going to do this. As soon as I get in touch with my friend in California, we are collaborating again on our screenplay. I'm surprised too, my friend knows someone that can get me in to talk to animators when I'm done.

I will keep you all posted on this, my Disney movie will have songs, the Disney Kiss, and a GOOD VILLAIN...anything else I forgot that should be in a good standard Disney movie?

**moo, the even more determined after seeing Peter Pan 2**

vienna waits · 02-15-2002, 11:25 PM

I dont think they should re make a classic... I agree Max.. it kills the classicness.

moofomoo · 02-15-2002, 11:27 PM

There were only 6 people seeing Peter Pan 2 this morning, and none for the next showing when I left...I don't think they will make much money off this movie, but that's just me.

**moo...i said MOO damnit!**

julian bozo · 02-16-2002, 12:46 AM

They made The Little Mermaid 2. They made Peter Pan 2.
They made The Huntchback of Notre Dame 2. They made Lady & the Tramp 2. They made Cinderella 2. They have made a sequel to the Rescuers. I say enough with the sequels. Start creating new movies.

Don't forget Lion King 2 and Beauty and the Beast's Enchanted Christmas.

I think that sequels to Disney classics are awful. You're right Max, it does take away their "classicness". It's like, Cinderella and Peter Pan are timeless and wonderful fairytales and then... bam! A sequel pops up nearly fifty years later. It just ruins everything. I've always lerbed Cinderella and Peter Pan. I especially lerbed the entire "second star to the right" element from Peter Pan. I know this sounds so extremely stupid, but when I think that life can't get any worse, I think about living in my own little Never Land where I can always be myself... where no one can judge me... where I can always be happy... where there is no pain. And how do I get there? Why, second star to the right and straight on till morning, of course! That sounds so corny, doesn't it? I know, but it honestly cheers me up and makes me smile! When life is treating me badly, I just think about that second star to the right... and then I feel like everything will be OK. Just think about it the next time you're feeling down and you'll be happy again. Trust me, it really works!

Mossopp · 02-16-2002, 10:43 AM

I agree. Disney sequels are always pointless. I'm not a huge Disney fan but their movies are usually watchable enough. I've never seen a good Disney sequel though. What was the deal with 'Lion King 2' for example? It was the exact same story as the first one but with different characters. If you're gonna make a sequel you should at least use the opportunity to break new ground.
And I agree with Max about remakes spoiling the original movies "classicness". That's why I'm pretty much against 'Goonies 2' and the proposed 'Lost Boys' sequel.
And if I ever hear that they are gonna remake 'Stand By Me' I will personally hunt down those responsble and makes their lives a living hell untill they see the error of their blasphemous ways!!

Penny Lane · 02-16-2002, 01:07 PM

I agree that sequels leave a lot to be desired, but I did like Little Mermaid 2.

Mijada · 02-16-2002, 03:24 PM

I don't like sequels very much either. They're never as good as the originals.

moofomoo · 02-16-2002, 05:05 PM

I have boycotted all Disney sequels up to this point, and now I remember why. It just isn't the same at ALL. The only other sequel (technically 2nd in a trilogy) I saw was Return of Jafar, and all the voices were the same with the exception of Robin Williams...plus it was made so close to the original, it wasn't too shabby. Everything else just LOOKS BAD.

I refuse to watch The Little Mermaid 2...Lion King 2 is ridiculous looking...Hunchback 2 should have never been THOUGHT of...Cinderella 2 is going to try and give Prince Charming a PERSONALITY-how wrong is that!?...Lady & The Tramp 2 looked dumb as ever...and I didn't really care for the Rescuers let alone the Rescuers Down Under...

I still think Disney needs someone like me on their team LOL...someone with vision, dammit! WHERE DID THEIR VISION GO!?!?!?!?!?!

**moo, who weeps for the present and hopes for the future**

Kay Scarpetta · 02-16-2002, 05:06 PM

I always lerbed the Little Mermaid. I HATED Little Mermaid 2!!!

nothing like the classics
