I'd like to know the reasons behind buying sequels.

I mean:

1) You buy just the sequels of your favorite movie (so you have them all)?

2) You buy just the good sequel to your favorite movie.

3) You buy all sequels to have them all.

4) You just buy the sequels if they're good ones.

5) You just don't buy them.




... in my case, I'll say it one last time.

Just have the Aladdin sequels becuase of my favorite movie.

I just have Lion King 1 1/2 because: it has good quality, it is a parody and the price was right ($10)


... other than that I won't buy any more sequels.

I'll buy the sequels if they're good ones
also I find it fun to see how go it goes with the characters

I buy the good sequeals so far the only one i have is lion king 11/2 but i plan on getting lilo and stitch 2 b/c it really looks cute to me

I don't buy 'em. A movie has to wow me in order to be in my collection. No cheapquel has done that yet, so no buy for me...

Hey its' me again.............as usual I will state categorically, it it isn't shown the theater it isn't a legitimate 'movie'...........if it is direct-to-dvd it is a video. If all these sequels are supposed to be so good, why not give the exposure they should have in a movie theater first.

Right now I'll buy a sequel if it's decent enough for me to watch again. It also has to be easily found in stores..I wouldn't buy something like Cinderella 2 because it's OOP and it just wasn't very watchable.

I will be buying The Return of Jafar on DVD one day. For Iago, because this was a very good movie for him.

I buy them because I have a 6 year old daughter. And/or because I want them myself.

Siren, how old are you? I always thought you were one of those really mature-posting teenagers.

It seems like everyone here is only referring to Disney sequels. But anyways, I rent the sequel first (or catch it on TV) then decide if it's good enough for me to own on DVD. I think there have been only two cases for me where I blind-bought the sequels before I saw/bought the movie:

1. Cocoon: The Return - this was only $7.50 at Wal-Mart, and it sounded REALLY good, so I bought it, expecting to buy the first later on.
2. Spy Kids 2 and 3 - I found them used and in near-perfect condition at GameStop, and the price was right for both ($5.99 and $7.99), so I picked them up. Haven't had a chance to watch 2 yet, but 3 took me by surprise.

I tend to be a complete freak, so I buy them all just to have them all.

Me too! It feels so empty if the sequels are missing. I wonder how well Disney would be doing right now if the sequels they made were exceptionally awesome.

Oh, I'm 14









































KIDDING! I'm 26. So rather then a mature teenager, I am an immature adult

For Me: I buy all sequels to have them all.

But however this does not include all the Pooh sequels (just The search for christopher robin, and the theatrical sequels) I also get all the other DTVS (An Extermly Goofy Movie, Three Musketeers, Mickey's Once Upon A christmas, etc)

I don't buy them because A: I have a backlog of other DVDs I want to buy and B: they don't interest me.

Well, Escapay. I meant Disney sequels... but since I wasn't specific you can talk about sequels in general.

I buy the sequels that I like. I have all 3 movies of Aladdin and The Lion King. I have some sequel on VHS. I don't have all sequels buy only the ones that I like.

I only have the Lion King sequels on DVD since they were going OOP and they were decent movies. I have a few on VHS but no very many.

I only buy the sequels that look decent or go along with my favorite movies (like TLM2). Of course, sometimes they look decent, but aren't that great. Mulan 2 proved that to me. I hope I never have to hear someone say, "My duty is to my heart" EVER again.

Well for me I just want to own all the sequels if they are that horrible I'll just put them on e-bay when it goes OOP.

LOL, for some reason, I'm getting a kick out of the fact that my name is in bold, almost as if you were like a teacher lecturing a smart aleck student.

I don't own many Disney sequels, simply because Kram collects the animated ones. I do have "Honey We Shrunk Ourselves", which at one time was played on the Disney Channel at least twice a week back in the day, which is probably why I bought it. I think that's the only Disney sequel I have. Kram has BATB2, TLK 2 and 1 1/2, Mulan 2, Twice Upon A Christmas, TLM 2. I'd have gotten Cindy 2 just to annoy him, but while it's a nice little movie, I wouldn't want to admit owning it.
