    Welcome back, Isaac 😃 I mostly agree with Walt’s stance to leave sequels alone. If it’s just repetition, or trying to cash in, don’t do it- let the original stand on its own and be remembered for the influence and magic it was. But if there is genuine passion and heart in a sequel that wants to keep a story going or try something new (like Kung Fu Panda, How to train your dragon films, Lion King 2 or Cinderella 3 (my favourites of the Disney directs for the genuine effort you can see in them or the crazy, unpredictability of C3), give them the time to do it justice and bring their A-game and “Keep Moving Forward” (Meet The Robinsons). It’s sad to see how the company has been churning out reboots, spin-offs, sequels and prequels to almost the complete exclusion of anything new (and what is new is often not done well like Wish), when Walt wouldn’t have wanted this.

    I can't be the only one that during Walt Disneys Animating days such as Bambi, The Fox and The Hound, Peter Pan, Dumbo, Sleeping Beauty, Winnie the Pooh, Fantasia and many many many more, that some movies didn't need Sequels but they were worth the watch. For example: we didn't need a Bambi II but Bambi II gave us the precious moment of Bambi bonding and building a relationship with his dad after his mom's passing in the first one.
    We didn't Need a brother Bear II, But Brother Bear II gave Kenai the chance to find love and build his friendship.
    now there are some movies that should have been left alone. The Fox and The Hound, the original was already a masterpiece. but Disney gave us The Fox and The Hound II, in my opinion it wasn't needed. The Fox and The hound II should started with Todd and Vixen having a family making Mama guardian like figure and the 2 birds make sure they veered from Danger. instead Disney was like "Who's Vixen?" cuz they took all that character development from the original and *immitates splat sound* just destroyed it. they made them pup and kit again.
    do you all get what I am saying?

    I will openly admit that a lot of the Disney sequels are flawed in their own way like major hot take: but I find LK2 Simba’s Pride to be very overrated and it just doesn’t sink well to me as a direct follow up to the original film. But still I don’t think there’s anything wrong with doing more with these franchises as long as they’re given the time and effort to be worthwhile and I do believe there should be a good balance between sequels/spin-offs and original stories.

    This is the only thing from Walt that I don't agree with. While I understand where he's coming from, I think you can make sequels that are amazing and in some cases better then the first. Toy Story 2, Inside Out 2, and to some extent The Lion King 2 being the...well, two, best examples of this, and some of the future sequels like Zootopia 2, also have a chance at being great. Especially if said sequel is made by those who understand and love the original, and want to do right by it.

    • @bullmonty764
      @bullmonty764 Місяць тому +3

      I would argue that Zootopia 2 has the only real chance of being great, because Moana 2 is literally just the remnants of an abandoned TV show (which gives Belle’s Magical World and Atlantis Milo’s Return a little too much for my taste, even if it’ll probably have a more clear cut plot than those) and Toy Story 5 has been roasted by most of the Internet years before it even drops, so even if the critics love it like I’m sure they will, I doubt I’ll be able to say the same about audiences. But hey, at least neither of them are as brainless an idea as Ice Age 6 (without the assistance of Blue Sky) so I guess there’s that 😂😅

    First off, welcome back, Isaac; secondly, while I also don't agree with this, here's something to think about: we've had quite a few original projects come out in the past couple of years (Elemental, Wish, etc), and people still weren't satisfied. A lot of the folks who gripe about this also are the same ones who will watch those sequels and steer away from the new movies that are announced. Maybe if they would actually give that content an honest chance (even reevaluate some of them), the companies wouldn't have to lean in this direction constantly.

    Something interesting to note is that during the “What Would Walt Have Done” era, the aging executives in charge apparently didn’t get the memo about sequels because they went all-in on live action sequels. Of course, the key word is *live-action,* because sequels to anything in the animated canon were still off-limits until Rescuers Down Under.
    I think it was partly because Walt did indeed do a sequel to the (live-action) Absent Minded Professor - that would be Son of Flubber - but for an era obsessed with trying to recapture his magic, to decreasing returns year by year, I don’t think the amount of (again, live-action) sequels in the 70s and 80s were what he had in mind

    Technically, it is true, but not fully. Walt did want to do a sequel to Fantasia or do this little technique where he would rerelease Fantasia every few years with a new musical segment. But because of World War 2 and Fantasia's international box office being very low, the plans got scrapped. A segment which was meant to be for Fantasia 2 was called Clair de Lune with the storks. But it was later converted as a segment to Make Mine Music and be renamed Blue Bayou.
    Before Rescuers Down Under, there was a film that also got a sequel and that was released during Walt's lifetime, The Three Caballeros, which was a sequel to Saludos Amigos. From what I understand, they were made because America needed to recruit some Latin American soldiers as allies to help them fight in World War 2.

    By the way Walt Disney did approve a sequel to The Absent Minded Professor 1961 with Son of Flubber 1963. Also he made many Donald Duck, Goofy, Mickey Mouse cartoon shorts some of them ending on cliffhangers like Donald Duck cartoons Modern Inventions 1937, Window Cleaners 1940, Inferior Decorator 1948. He did make 3 sequels to The Three Little Pigs and a Sequel to The Tortoise and the Hare and Santa's Workshop 1932 followed by The Night Before Christmas 1933. Also a Donald Duck cartoon How to have an accident at Home was followed up by How to have an accident at Work. Yes even Jiminy Cricket from Disney Pinocchio 1940 was in Fun Fancy and Free and in the I'm no Fool shorts.
    Also Walt Disney had trouble getting the rights to Mary Poppins because P L Travers didn't like the way Walt Disney and his team was making Mary Poppins 1964 film, and after that film she ruled out any further adaptations of the later Mary Poppins novels and it wouldn't get a sequel until after her death in 1996 and then in 2018 a sequel Mary Poppins returns was made.
