Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 I loved A Goofy Movie too, and I went in not knowing what to expect. I think Disney always does something special when they experiment. Even if that experiment doesn't do well at the box office. A Goofy Movie was a test of sorts for TV Animation, and they were allowed to step up to the feature plate and they hit a home run in my opinion. They had a bigger budget for that too, so it just looks better than any of the other TV stuff. Rescuers Down Under was also another experiment that went very well (in my opinion). It was a test for the processes leading up to Beauty and the Beast, and they really ran with it. Although I think 101 Dalmatians 2 is the best DTV they've ever done, I just wish Disney would let Television Animation experiment again. Or at least let the stuff that they are experimenting on see the light of day, like Redux Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Three Little Pigs...

When Disney was still counting their animated features in their advertising, they didn't include the TV animation films or the Pixar films, but they discontinued that counting several years ago. If you go out to the "A-Z Movie List" on Disney.com, the TV animation films are all listed. <a href="http://disneyvideos.disney.go.com/moviefinder/titlesaz/index.html" target="_blank">http://disneyvideos.disney.go. com/moviefinder/titlesaz/index.html</a> -Jeff
Originally Posted By Santa Monica I just saw this today. I bought it for $9.99 at Blockbuster Video (previously viewed). I thought it was great! Very surprising and highly enjoyable. I love how it just continues right after the first film, showing their moving process to the Dalmatian Plantation. One of the better DTV sequels. Probably tops on my list actually. This should have been a theater release instead of Jungle Blah 2.

And I LOVED everything about the old Thunderbolt show - there was a "texture" to it that just seemed so cool. Cruella's dialogue was funny. A real treat. And when I tell people I liked it, I find I don't even need to add the usual "...for a direct-to-video sequel." It stands on its own. Very cute. Very fun. And if we're gonna get more, make 'em more like this.
