urgh.
I just wish disney would stop bastardising these great films and do no sequels. but the cash into features again.
I think disney should 'shut down' for 5 years and concentrate on making good movies again. then do a willy wonka and invite 5 lucky winners to view the new movies before re opening the studios and starting again!! wohoo!!!!

If I had to pick I'd say Bambi II purely because the first one was so good. But in the same breath I have to say that sequels historically don't usually live up to the originals and in my view actually diminish them somewhat. I'd much rather Disney put their energies into coming up with some new material than trying to make money off classic movies by making a shoddy attempt at a sequel.
I've said this before but I'll say it again......Disney needs to go back to the original drawing board that was used for things like Snow White and figure out what exactly made it so brilliant and then go from there. The biggest mistake I think that Disney have made in their latest movies is the lack of music. I've always thought that the music to Snow White & Pinocchio and the likes were what helped make the movie the success it was. It's things like that that are missing from todays movies.

Have you heard Mark Moseley do Eddie Murphy? There might be a very small difference in their voices, but you will be amazed of what he can do...BrandonH wrote:If I am forced to choose, I'd say The Emperor's Newer Groove. This assumes that all returning characters have the original voice actor. If Mulan II had Eddie Murphy come back, I would choose that, but it was not to be.

I heard the new Mushu voice on the trailer, and I was not terribly impressed. I'm sure that Mark is very talented, but I don't think that Eddie Murphy can be replaced. To me, leaving him off the movie shows that the studio is more interested in getting this product on shelves quickly than releasing the best possible product at a later time. If somebody can provide me with a statement by Eddie that he will never record on such a project again, I will consider myself corrected, but I think he would be glad to do it if his schedule permitted it.Jens wrote:Have you heard Mark Moseley do Eddie Murphy?

I think the real reason is after Shrek II and (alleged) payment of $35m+ (once box office and merchandise is accounted for), Eddie's just asking for too much money. You can't really blame Disney if this is the case. They'd be insane to even pay a fraction of that.BrandonH wrote:I heard the new Mushu voice on the trailer, and I was not terribly impressed.

Most of my Blu-ray collection some of my UK discs aren't on their database
He would gladly do it if he is offered enough money, believe me. The sequel doesn't have a budget like the original movie, so they have to cut back on something... They could have lowered Eddie's pay, but then they would have probably lost him. Mark Moseley has his ups and downs in the trailer, but most of what he said sounds like Eddie Murphy talking (especially "Oh, that did it" and "This is gonna be delicious"). But really, Eddie Murphy got a lot of money for Shrek 1 & 2 and I don't think he's going to spend his time doing Mulan 2 for little pay.

Well... Looking at the animation of The Hunchback of the Notre Dame II, I think they had money left for Demi Moore 
I would rather have a good story, good animation and 1 voice talent missing than something like Notre Dame II
