Top 5 Worst & Best Forgotten Disney Sequels (Animated)
Jungle Book 2 has a good heart behind it. Released 36 years after the original movie, the sequel seems pointless but i would argue that Baloo and Mowgli get a bit more closure in their goodbye this time. Even if it's mid, it's enriched the original characters. Mowgli is still a trouble maker, Shere Khan still a menace, Baloo still a carefree rule breaker and Kaa as sneaky as ever. We get to learn about the mysterious girl Mowgli followed at the village. Some however could say that sequel was unimaginative and uninventive that was just about Mowgli missing Baloo and visiting the jungle. It feels a lot like an affectionate fan fiction with pleasant animation. Mowgli and Shanti have established a sort of mutual child crush. Predictably however, Mowgli decides that the man village's life has too many chores and responsabilities and runs off back to the jungle. Of course after, Mowgli decides that he misses some of his humans fellow after all. But first he has to meander about uncertain of what to do in the jungle for 70 minutes. The problem is that once we step out of the village, most of the jungle scene feels like a remake of the original. As pandering as the sequel feels, it's still likable. The clean animation and character filled voice makes it pleasant enough.
Aladin and the king of thives was given the best budget of the 2 sequels and the bes tof all is that Robin Williams returned in his role as the Genie. The third movie is based on Alibaba and the 40 thieves which is a good choice. The return of Jafar ahd none of the budget but all the spectacle and excitement. Aladdin and the king of thieves feels more high budget yet ho hum spectacle. The story is basically Aladdin and Jasmin getting married. But their wedding is interrupted by an old man voiced by John Ryes Davies. He turns out to be essentially Alibaba and his 40 thieves. Father son bonding, betrayal and confusion ensues. Along with a great plot about a great mystical artefact called the hand of Midas which turns anything to gold. We finish with a sweet goodbye and lots of good chuckles from the Geni in between. While Aladdin's family issues are pretty legitimate, they don't exactly make for a suspensful story to me but the Genie does light up the low spectacle, stealing the spotlight. It was still a solid a and satisfying way to end this trilogy.
Tarzan and Jane is one of the worst forgotten sequel. We have a Tarzan scene set in the future. What we see is 3 clumsily stuck together Tarzan TV pilots. With Jane reminiscing with the animals since it's apparently Tarzan and her 1 year anniversary. It reminds me of Cinderella 2 with harmless stories of mostly inconsequential fluff like their minor marriage quarrels, or introducing Tarzan to Jane's friends. Or Tarzan helping some islands visitors find diamonds. Or Jane going on on a picnic. Some of our minor characters can run on the annoying side like Jane's friends who can be over bearing. At least the animation is better than the Aladdin TV series. The voice acting are okay. At the end, the biggest plus in the movie is seeing the relation between Tarzan and Jane. But the movie was mostly tedious, unrelated island stories.
Pocahontas II has the opposite problem of Jungle Book 2. Instead of having a nothing story that was vell executed we have an interesting story that was abysmally executed. The main story is about Pocahontas being sent off as a peace maker to meet the king of England. If Pocahontas doesn't act civilized in the royal court, the king will declare war on the Powhantan tribe. How did they manage to make Pocahontas travelling to England to be a peace diplomat to the king so dull? The pace is slow. For a long time we just get a boat to look at, dresses to look at, we get to watch every step... Then we watch her dancing. Everything happens in such a snail pace. Despite Pocahontas's voice actor, Irene Bedard, still having a beautiful singing voice. these songs are muddled and forgettable. Sounding more like chammering and yammering that could be kind of considered melodic? At a point all the voice actors start singing and talking over one another in one big, confusing mishmash. By the end of the day we still have no idea what the Ratcliffe's incentive was. There is no deeper complexity or relateability to him. He just wants gold. Apparently he is convinced that the entire senate of England will buy into it, but then Pocahontas manages to convince the king that they don't have gold. The relationship between Pocahontas and John Smith was one of the best romance and it was one of the driving factor in the previous movie. John Smith gets here sidelined in the movie. He cames back at the end of the movie out of nowhere, does some shoddily animated fighting then basically gets snubbed by Pocahontas in the ending. These 2 move on without making look like they cared about each other at the first place.
Mickey's house of villains. This is a follow up that Mickey's magical Christmas movie except with a Hallowen theme instead of Christmas. It's Mickey and all the Disney characters watching through some Hallowen shorts. But then every single Disney villaintakes over the joint and tosses Mickey out. Many of the shorts themselves are kind of a low budget Fantasia with Mickey. They also include some good Mickey, Donald and Goody shorts. The only problem is that the in between scenes have a bad animation budget. But not only the comedy in the shorts is good, but unlike in Scooby Doo where we continuously run away from ghosts, here they fight back and try to outwit the ghosts. Mickey's mechanical house is a good short. With John Cleese as the narrator It's story is minimalist yet smart. Its quaint art style is a beautiful combination of old and new. Overall this movie is a fine sequel packed with spooky, light hearted romps with Mickey with some cheesy but interesting transitions segments in between.
Atlanti's : Milo's Return. There are some creative ideas and the original movie had stunning animation. But here the animation is so cheap. A collection of failed plots that were flimsily slapped together andthen called a sequel. The animation is choppy and downright goofy at times. Voices like Michael J Fox are a pretty tough act to follow for Tidus for " Final Fantasy X ". Milo's return was originally the first three episodes of a sequel series that was never completed, called Atlantis. Each episode takes part in a different part of the world that ties loosely at best to Atlantis. The first story is about a massive sea monster destroying ships in Norway. The mysterious build up of the story has the mysterious fellow controlling the Kraken + the people. But they dump this story in favor of going to Arizona to talk with a shop keeper who sells artifacts. These stories are muddled, short lived and confusing.
Tickerbell : legend of the nether beast in the other hand is quite a good forgotten Disney sequel.

Pour ce qui est du top des meilleures musiques de Disney, c'est encore plus chaud à décider par contre.
Why Pixar's Up Is a Forgotten Masterpiece
The idea of adventure first brings Carl and Ellie together. Ellie's first words in the moving is paraphrasing Muntz's words from the movie she presumably watched just like Carl ' adventure is out there " It's what she tells to Carl from the start and even when she is not physically present anymore. Despite this, their personalities differ on how they follow through on this love. Carl is a dreamer happy to merely fantasize to himself about the thought of adventure. Though he is lured by the charm of adventure, he is ultimatly too afraid of taking the risk that might end up hurting him. When Ellie first meets him, he is timid, hesitant and passive. Ellie is the opposite. She is impulsive, decisive and takes every opportunity for adventure she can grasp. This influence on Carl sees him start to act on his desires too. Though adventuring may sometimes hurt, Ellie encourages Carl to never stop trying. This is what makes their marriage works. The coming together of 2 contrasting types of people bound by the same goal. The recurring imagery is the use of ballons. It's Carl's ballon that first sends him on adventure with Ellie. As he is recovering, it's a ballon that Ellie floats into his room to cheer him up with " spirit of adventure " written on it. As they grow older, Carl runs a ballon stand and so ballons become a physical symbol for the spirit of adventure. While Carl and Ellie's marriage is thriving ballons are a frequent sight reflecing the buoyant joy in both their lives. Beside their visual appeal, ballons are the perfect fit for the childlike belief in adventure that Ellie holds. They are simple, pure and if you let them they will soar without limit. Ellie's illness and eventual death is the first turning point of the film. Carl is left with those ballons, once a symbol of joy and now a hollow representation of emptiness in his life.
2 other consistent symbols appear. Obviously the house itself but more boardly we see Carl's physical attachment to the objects inside the house. He sees them as some sort of manifestation of Ellie herself. He fixates on the only thing he has left of her : the houes they made, the adventure's book she gave to him, the furnitures in the house like the chairs they used to sit in. He treats these objects as companions and speaks to the house as if it was Ellie. So what Carl try resisting from having his mouse turned into a mole, we don't have an old man not wanting chance but rather a broken husband unable to let go of his wife's death. Carl's idea of adventuring is inseparably tied to Ellie. He has no desire for adventure any further without her. That is until Russell comes into screen. It's the fear of him being sent to a retirement home that ultimatly also spurs Carl to up and lift his house. Russell just like Carl misses something he needs to fulfill. Russell's sach and that one final empty spot is another symbol. A metaphorical gap in his life left by his father who once bonded with Russell over their love for the outdoors but now is barely around anymore. His needs for the badge represents him wanting his father spending time with him knowing he would have come to represent Russell with his final badge. Carl's goal is to finish what Ellie started and fulfilling her dream to go to the Paradise Falls. That's why it's so important to take his house with him because in his mind, it's a final resting place for her and presumably his own. Carl had no return plan which is why Russell's presence is important : he gives Carl a reason to return, to go on.
