Welcome to the 30 day challenge of April, which is going to be all about Disney properties. There is a lot of acquisitions under the Disney Company umbrella at this point, but the focus here is going to be on the animated properties produced under the Disney/Pixar labels proper – there’ll be plenty of other chances to discuss Marvel and Star Wars.

Not all sequels go direct to video- some find their way to theatres. Films like Rescuers Down Under and Fantasia 2000 used to be more rare exceptions, but this practice has become more common in later years, particularly on the Pixar side of things

So todays prompt is simply what are your favorite / least favorite of the theatrically released Disney/Pixar Sequels?

Bonus prompt: Any sequels you prefer to their predecessors?

Bonus prompt rerelease: Any sequels that retroactively affect your view of the first movie-for better or worse?

Bonus prompt remake: Any still-standalone movies that feel suited for a sequel?

TOMORROW: The direct to video sequels
