Though Disney was against sequels, he did have a few ideas that used characters that had previously proved to be popular; these ideas never really took off, though.
I seem to recall a short featuring Peter the Pegasus, the young pegasus from Fantasia's Pastoral Symphony. It was a concept for another version of Fantasia, back when Walt was trying to make it a constant continuation.
Sometimes I feel I am the only one who wished they had. I always wanna know what happens next
bradhig, I know what you mean, but I always remind myself that Disney sequels NEVER manage to live up to their predicessors. I can't really think of any sequel Disney have done to their classics that has worked awfully well, unless you include Fantasia 2000, which is more of a continuation.
I say that Disney shouldn't rely on past successes so much - don't copy what you have done before, surpass it.
If I had to choose, I think I would prefer a 'dwarfs' series to a film. Somehow it feels right, setting it at a suitable distance from the original film, so that both can be seen separately.
I wonder if the second release of the 'Snow White' PE is connected (or was originally intended to connect) to this 'dwarfs' franchise, as numerous other DVD releases are intended to coincide with sequels and spinoffs. To be honest, I prefer the idea of 'dwarfs' to 'fairies', as it perhaps has more potential with so many well-established characters, but I would rather neither happened really.
