Pocahontas II

I've seen just three of the ones in this list in whole: <i>The Lion King II</i>, <i>The Little Mermaid II</i>, and <i>The Lion King 1½</i>. The consensus seems to be that these are three of the best, and I don't consider any of the three bad. I think <i>The Lion King 1½</i> probably shows the most creativity, in staying true to the original and at the same time knowingly skewing it. I'd also think it is the most enjoyable of the three.

The direct-to-video films get such a bad reputation that I've mostly stayed away from them, but the few that I've seen have been pretty positive experiences. But then there's <i>Belle's Magical World</i> and the parts of <i>Pocahontas II</i> which makes me think there are some potentially awful ones that I've just not seen.

In any event, I'm looking forward to finally seeing the <i>Aladdin</i> sequels, since those seem to be moderately well-received among this batch.

My favorite has got to be Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas,
the entire voice cast returned (Minus Gaston) and the DTS and Dolby Digital soundtracks rock the house (especially when you enable Dolby EX and DTS ES 6.1 decoding... the organ noises fly everywhere, and the voices are omni-directional, at one point the beast's voice comes directly from the main rear surround channel and no where else. How cool is that!
Plus the animation is high quality, (higher than Aladdin at least) plus it's got a Christmas theme, and most of all it's got TIM CURRY! What else could you ask for!
It's my guilty pleasure.

My favorite is the lion king 1 1/2.

I chose Aladdin and the King of Thieves. I was so happy that the third one turned out good, since i didn't like the second one too much.
it was a hard choice between Aladdin and both Lion King sequels. But in the end, my favorite streetrat won.

Well I like the Winnie the Pooh DTV sequels better but my other favorite DTV movie would be The Lion King 1&1/2

Actually, my favorite DTV sequel isn't even on the list. George of the Jungle 2 seemed to capture the spirit of the original despite the loss of Brendan Fraser. They even mention Fraser by name and say something to the effect that the studio was too cheap to re-hire him. That counts for something in my book.

My favorites are The Return of Jafar and Aladdin and the King of Theives.

Lion King 1 1.2. It has to be one of the better produced and drawn than all of them!

thats so true- and in a funny way more true to the movie.

the thing with sequels is they wreck the first movie for you- they sort of extend on soemthing that doesnt need extending on.

at least with hakuna matata the story was going on the whole time. You got to revisit places and themes

that bit where simba wakes up timon for the the millionth time and it turns out he has had a nightmare, so sad

In my opinion the best seuqels is the Lion King Sequel and the Lady and the Tramp sequel.

An extremely goofy movie for me!

Stitch the Movie!

Though I waited for the Disney Channel airing, I found this movie to be quite enjoyable and a worthy sequel. Though because I've seen the episodes from the television show first, the movie seemed more like a reallly long episode, which I think was what they planned to do anyway. It was like an animated TV movie.

My only question is...what is Lilo and Stitch II going to be about?

I've seen most of the other movies on the list and I didn't hate them at all (okay except for Hunchback II, which I didn't see the whole thing of). My top four would probably be:

Stitch! The Movie
The Lion King 1 1/2
101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure
Beauty and the Beast: Enchanted Christmas
