10) Tarzan II! This midquel is entirely unnecessary! It just expands on the first quarter of the movie with the themes and characters, but it does nothing to progress the plot of the first film! The comedy is bad overall with awful, stupid and worthless antagonists and George Carlin's talents are wasted, which was a very odd casting choice in my opinion, as Zugor! Tarzan is just annoying, running away from home when he feels like he doesn't belong, which was directly taken from the first film! I will say the animation is good and Glen Close is good as Kala, but she only appears for a couple of scenes and isn't central to the main plot! Overall, a stupid plot with bad characters and isn't even worth watching!
9)The Return of Jafar. This was the first ever Disney sequel and it's not great! The main problems I have are clear: the story focuses on Iago and is stupid and lazy, the animation is very cheap, the characters now are boring and annoying and the songs...ugh! This would show the norm of the sequels, being very lazily put together and are not at all memorable or worth your time and money! But this one in particular because it makes Aladdin stupid and forget what he learnt in the first film, and Dan Castellaneta is definitely no Robin Williams, even if he really tries! Adding in new characters for the TV series also confused me, but then again, I'm guessing this was also the TV pilot to the series since Jafar is finally killed and Aladdin wants to go on many adventures! Overall, a weak start to a very weak line of sequels!
8) Jungle Book 2! I am surprised this got a theatrical release because this is damn awful! The plot is just like the first movie, with a few changes here and there and I hate how annoying the characters are! The animation isn't close to theatrical quality, which just makes me question why- oh wait MONEY! Yeah, the songs are terrible, the characters are one dimensional, everything is stupid and I hate the Phil Collins vulture who I wanted to just strangle! The only good thing I can say is the voice acting from John Goodman and Tony Jay, and even at that point, their performances aren't strong enough to make me notice the flaws in this crap! This just shows what was intended as a direct to DVD film should've stayed as a direct to DVD film, just like this year's Planes!
7) Mulan II! This one completely contradicts Mulan in the first film! She's selfish because she thinks the emperor's daughters should 'follow their hearts and marry for love' while the lives of many people are at stake because of war and arranged marriage is a huge part of Chinese culture which she knew in the first movie! Not only that, but Mushu is awful and the antagonist, voiced by not Eddie Murphy and the songs are just terrible! The only one I could feel for was Shang, but because we're meant to root for Mulan, we're meant to see him as a dick who she's marrying! I mean, come on, do they actually know anything about each other besides working together in the army? The animation isn't terrible, but the plot is just lazy and ruins the first film for me!
5) Cinderella II: Dreams Come True. This movie is an example of the three part never existed TV sequel, and the words to describe it are pointless and worthless! The characters are annoying and boring (seriously, Cinderella is so out of character in it), the stories are juvenile, predictable and it just feels like they knew one of them wouldn't be strong enough to hold up for 70 minutes, so they decided to add useless and boring plots which would only make your 3 year old laugh for about 30 seconds! The animation is really sub-par, the music and songs are terrible, and of course, this garbage a massive waste of time and money! Despite being just over 70 minutes, this felt like an eternity to watch! As for the third one...well you'll have to wait and see in my next list!
4) The Little Mermaid 2; Return To The Sea. This is probably the worst example of the Disney Sequel formula of the child of the main character from the first film learning the lesson their parent learnt. Why? Because it's the exact same story, except not as enjoyable, not as creative and the characters are stupid with what they do, and the new ones are rip offs! The villain isn't threatening (it doesn't really help she's voiced by Pat Carroll who voiced Ursula), Tip and Dash are cowardly versions of Timon and Pumbaa and everything is so contrived! I love the original, and to call this movie a musical would be false advertising! This movie just shows how lazy DisneyToon Studios can be with their storytelling with these crappy Disney sequels!
3) Atlantis: Milo's Return. OK, I know you guys probably think that this is too low on the list, but this is based on how it is compared to the predecessor, and it's a mixed bag to me with the first Atlantis movie. I mostly like it for the stunning animation and a few funny bits, but the characters and plot were too lame for me, considering it's Disney trying to be all modern and hip for the younger audience. This has no cohesive plot in this sequel, I can't even describe it! It's just 3 episodes from a canned TV series (it's true, there was meant to be an Atlantis series which got canned after the movie bombed) and they just put in random bits to try and link them together, which fails horribly! The animation is beyond bad, the voice acting is bad and it just feels so lazy and incompetently put together!
2) The Hunchback of Notre Dame 2! Honestly, this was so close to number 1! Seriously, I truly dislike this movie! Yes, the first movie is dark compared to other Disney films, but it took risks while this did not and it's almost as if the writers forgot what happened! Clearly the budget was spent of getting the original voice actors back because the animation is very shoddy! The plot is completely unnecessary and predictable, it's up to the point that it feels like Disney just looked at bad fanfiction just so they could get their paychecks sooner and they could just it get over with! What they did to the characters was just unforgiving, making them dull and generic with no positive qualities whatsoever! Same goes to the new ones, especially the villain because this movie is just a massive waste of time and money!
with a passion! There's no creativity whatsoever, the stories are beyond ridiculous compared to the amazing first movie and clearly this was just another cash in like the rest of the crap on the list! But do you why this is number 1? This is frigging Beauty and the Beast! Disney's greatest love story is just horribly butchered with this piece of crap, which clearly the writers and animators couldn't care less about with how insultingly put together it is! There isn't even a flowing narrative, it's just 3 stories put together with nothing being linked to it! The animation is cheap, the characters are butchered, the songs are bad and the plot..ugh! Avoid this abomination at all costs, especially those who love Beauty and the Beast like me!
