Cheapquels? That has to be the lamest label, Disney sequels have been getting for the longest time

Take for example Lady and the Tramp 2: Scamp's Adventure. The main problem I had with this was the songs. The Songs sounded way too contempeary and popish to be in a film that is set in the early 1900's. The songs just did not fit the setting.
I disagree. The songs, while not like the original, are very well sung and 'happy'. I hardly see a difference to the original.
However, I don't examine music and see if it fits into the time period. But, still I thought the songs were great.
And, surpise, surprise, Lady II, happens to be one of my favorites.

I may have been too harsh on some of these. The Return of Jafar,Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas,Belle's Magical World,Cinderella II and The Hunchback of Notre Dame II we just horrible DJ
Harsh would be an understatement
I only agree with Hunchback II, and Bell's Magical World. All the others I like.
Return of Jafar- not the best, but its still entertaining.
Beauty and The Beast: The Enchanted Christmas- is no doubt, one of my favorites. The story was just great, and I loved the 3d villain (played by Tim Curry)
Cinderella II: Dreams Come True- you know what? I'm kind of tired of discusing this one. I don't know why it gets so much hate, but I love it. The animation was great. The new voices were top notch, most notably Cinderella (Jennifer Halle) and her Stepmother (Susan B?) the music was memorable, and each insert song is very catchy, especially the end remix

Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World,The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea,Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure,101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure, Mulan II, Tarzan 2,Kronk's New Groove, Bambi II and The Fox and the Hound 2 were mearly mediocure, Not great but no horrible either. Most of these are mildy entertaining for 20 or so minutes If I catch them on Disney Channel.
I disagree. Some of these are my favorites, infact I do love them all, minus TLM2.

Then there are thoes that I think are really good. Aladdin and the King of Thieves,The Lion King 1½ and Brother Bear 2 were quite good.
I agree. Minus LK 1.5

I think you folks take The Lion King 1½ too seriously. Timon and Pumba are some of my favorite characters and the film is just plain silly and funny. If you let your self get bogged down by continuity issues you wont enjoy it. It is ment to be a bit of a spoof , a broad animated comedy like Emperor's New Groove. Just sit back and laugh folks.
I just don't like it, because its not that great. I could care less about continuity issues, the story is what counts.
I really do like LK 1.5, I just favor LK2 more and I always will.

Lion King 2 felt like that , Selfimportant and melodramatic, but thats just what I think.
I disagree. I think its a little melodramatic, but not really
1.5 was just a comedy, with a few sappy moments. (Which I liked BTW)

There are some sequels I would love to see though. A Sequel to The Great Mouse Detective would be soo cool. A Black Cauldron sequel would be cool too.
I agree about Detective. Cauldron is ok, but I really wouldn't want a sequel to it.
