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.

Though they are now a thing of the past, there was a period in the 90’s to 00s where Disney was seemingly mass producing direct to video sequels to their most beloved films. The reputation for a lot of these is spotty at best, though there is also a lot of nostalgic affection to be found.

So todays prompt is simply what are your favorite / least favorite of the Direct To Video released Disney (and Pixar I guess ‘cause planes) sequels, prequels and interquels?

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 projects that could’ve used a full theatrical production budget to fulfill its promise?
