BUT after seeing the Sneak Peeks Previews on the Bambi 2 DVD... Airbuddies, Fox and Hound 2, Leroy & Stitch, and Brother Bear 2 (although the Moose Jokes were pretty funny)!! Geesh... Well at least Chicken Little and Narnia are coming out in the Spring. I guess it's a good thing Pixar is now a part of the Company with CARS coming out this Summer (and most likely a Holiday DVD release). ºoº

I haven't seen the movie - only the previews on TV but it was driving me bonkers!! I couldnt' decide if that's who it was or if it was Christopher Lee! As for the sequels - I just can't believe that there are no more original stories out there that they have to keep off-shooting from ones already told - sorry I just DON'T!

Originally Posted By Liberty Belle I don't like sequels at all, but especially not for the classics. At least if a sequel comes out a year after the movie they come *close* to getting the voices and characterisation right (although they still don't impress me, as a rule). It just seems wrong somehow to mess with the classics - especially when the classic, beautiful Disney songs are "re-done" by the latest pop sensation. Oh, I shouldn't be so bitter.

When the first X-Men film came out, my friends joked that it would be Stewart reading from the comic books and engaging in action figure battles, which, would have been cool as well.
Originally Posted By HRM With Lady and the Tramp being released as Platinum Edition this year, (kind of curious, since it was already released on DVD about 5-6 years ago - in fact, the L&tT DVD was one of the free DVD's you could get with the Snow White Platinum Edition Pre-sell, anybody remember the Sequel "Scamp's Adventure" a few years back?
Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA anybody remember the Sequel "Scamp's Adventure" a few years back?> 'Scamp's Adventure' wasn't terrible. I also watched and enjoyed 'Patch's London Adventure' -- it was a sequel to 101 Dalmatians. I just get frustrated with adding a '2' to everthing. GIVE IT A NEW NAME!!

Originally Posted By Kuzcochik What other sequals are suppose to be coming out. I know Lasseter has stopped Toy Story 3 and the like, but what besides F&tH 2, BB 2, and Leroy and Stitch are coming out? I heard rumors about Hercules 2 a long time ago...I'm just curious
Originally Posted By Kuzcochik Well not by Disney. I think Pixar's taking the helm of that project but it'll be a whole lot later on now
Originally Posted By BrnardM Leroy and Stitch? Wait, what the crap? What the heck is that supposed to be about? It's always the best of them that get sequelized(my term). Usually I refuse to dignify them with comment but this caught me off guard.
