I never knew Peter Pan had a sequel. Wow.

That's one a few I actually liked. I have "I Try" burned to a CD. It's a pretty song.

HBONDII, however....

HBONDII is the WORST sequel EVER. I want to say I started doing a crossword puzzle in the middle of it Laughing

Mulan II I think I just liked more because it was Mulan, but yeah--you could get rid of everything before the bridge scene and it'd be better Laughing

Cinderella II I never made it all the way out. All I remember is Anastasia? getting a boyfriend who was a baker. Yes, let's give the evil whenches boyfriends after their cruel treatment.

That's why I said you could get rid of everything before then Laughing

. As serious as it was, I liked the last half better.

I get what they were trying to do, but that just sent the oddest message to kids who watched the original and saw how they treated her after she got a man of her own.

I think that's part of my problem with HBONDII as well. I'm not religiously against Quasi getting someone, but....why?! We just went through that whole thing of "You don't need to be IN love in order to be loved by someone" and then they go and give him someone anyways. I'm not saying say he doesn't deserve someone, but I just liked it better when he didn't.

I agree that HoNDII really sucked. You're right, Quasi should have died at the end of the film. That he lived was just...weird. And then, the girl he got too.

I'm definetly in the "Quasi should have died" camp as well.

HOND 2 is probably my second least favorite sequel, with Pocahontas 2 winning, if you can call that winning.

Another thing I've noticed is that they'll take characters who, to begin with, were wonderfully well-rounded and flatten 'em out like pancakes. PANCAKES!

'Course, it may not help that sequels are probably written by people who don't 'get' the characters, anyway.

The worst sequel I have EVER seen is The Neverending Story III. I mean... wow. My gag reflexes reflex whenever I think about that movie.

I think that BATB one was supposed to be actual stories to a series they were making, but they backed out on it. It's the same thing with Atlantis II. Tarzan II was the same, but they actually made that series.

I still hate LKII Laughing

Y'know, I teasingly referred to the sequel to Atlantis as "Atlantis SG-1." "Hey, look, they go back and get Milo! Just like Daniel in Stargate!"

I must say, 'twas a rather poor idea, making a sequel, even if to launch a series. The original wasn't that spectacular, in my opinion.
