Need something to pass the next few hours with? We have you covered with all the Direct to DVD Disney movies in one awesome compilation! What's the best and worst Disney Direct to DVD movie?
I think The Best DTV Disney Sequels and movies are THE RETURN OF JAFAR, ALADDIN AND THE KING OF FORTY THIEVES, and THE BUZZ LIGHTYEAR OF STAR COMMAND movie. Also many people don't know this POOH'S GRAND ADVENTURE THE SEARCH FOR CHRISTOPHER ROBIN is DTV. But the animation is so AMAZING For many years I thought that it was theatrically released.

Not to be the jealous one here but I was kinda disappointed when I saw this cause I wanted to be the one to show the times for each movie for some reason.
Not me I watched all my Disney movies in theaters and watch the originals I really didn't watch the direct DVD's but then again I'm 37 so that krapp was just coming out.
Is nobody going to talk about that one line from Tarzan and Jane where Jane's friends show up and Tarzan's like "My parents died in this treehouse...right there"
lol that line always got me laughing. Tarzan's lines were really awkward in that sequel (more like they dumbed him dramatically) but that one line felt right.
The Lion King 2 is my favorite Disney sequel of all time. I grew up watching it a lot as a kid along with the first film and I've never had a problem with the "down-graded" animation quality. I love the story, the characters and the songs. Heck, Kiara is my favorite character from the Lion King films. I know It's not for everyone, but I personally love it with all of my heart
Three daughters, five years a part, in succession, kept falling in love with Cinderella 3. I have been forced to watch Cinderella 3 repeatedly for the last 13 years.
As someone whose father is... unfortunately reflected in Aladdin's, his character is surprisingly natural. Having someone who is incredibly proud, and does honestly love but doesn't understand how to show or express that. Often times it also connects to feeling like they themselves failed and not being able to face it properly.
Also this scene Anastasia: "All of our troubles are over!" *pulls out wand* Lady Tremaine: "A stick?" Drizella: "Ooh, let's beat her with it!" That's so hilarious and out of place, I love it.
@@MKfoxbat "Uhm...hellooo?Little..mice?Sigh.Well,it's official,I've lost my mind!First I was hijacked by birds and..now I'm talking to imaginary mice!X-P" (...) "HOLD ON,HOLD ON,I THINK I UNDERSTAND!:-D ................Eeeerr,actually I got nothing!:-/"He's SO-CUTE!^w^
If I could point this out, I think you missed a detail in Aladdin and the King of Thieves. If I remember correctly, I think his father said he DID come back for his wife and son after finding wealth. Only to find they were both gone (and assumed they were dead) so he returned back to his thief life
@@starstudio8402 that's how prides work. Only one male, all the cubs in the pride are his. So if Simba and Nala are in the same pride, Mufasa is the father of both, so they're half siblings.
I mean, I feel like the whole "Cinderella being nice to Anastasia" thing DOES make sense simply because Cinderella is a good person. She's a princess of light for a reason, y'know
Cinderella could highlight how different they are in terms of family background. Does divine right bother Cinderella, or does she accept the world of power that she's now a part of. Next: Cinderella overthrows the castle
Disney is repeating history of the direct-to-DVD movies with the live actions. They do so much better when they *don't* do unnecessary sequels or remakes.
@@BrazilianImperialist I didn’t watch the Lion King remake until just last year because Beauty and the Beast was so awful that I couldn’t even finish it. The Lion King remake is actually pretty good. This is coming from someone who hates the Lion King due to a lot of issues with the original film. What I really liked was that they show Nala escaping from Scar to find help. And showing that part of Scar’s jealousy was driven by his lust for queen Sarabi. I also liked the extra screen time for Timon and Pumba and I think the VA’s for them really put in the effort. Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner (sorry if I spelled it wrong) did a phenomenal job voicing those characters. That being said the remake doesn’t get good until the second half because it seems like James Earl Jones really phoned it in when returning to the role of Mufasa. And the songs were not nearly as good (even down right awful) except for Hakuna Matata. Some parts of the movie didn’t really translate well with the realistic style either. That said I’m glad I watched the remake and dare I say It liked it more than the original film even if the first half was weaker.
Anyone notice that Aladdin's dad throws the hand of midas in the ocean? The effect takes time, but slowly the entire planet was turned into gold, killing everyone and everything!!!!!!!!
@@PinkGoldAbby That,,, Would've been really weird. As Goofy was forming a relationship with her and Max and Roxanne would've been step-siblings if she was related to the librarian.
It still annoys me that one of Doug's criticisms of Aladdin and the King of Theives was why Aladdin's father never came back after finding enough treasure to provide for his family. When the same scene that reveals also says he did come back but couldnt find Aladdin or his wife. He thought they were dead so he left.
I know this comment is 2 years old as of writing but I feel the need to respond and fully express my love-hate relationship with Doug's reviews after 10+ years of watching. On one hand, he's still super entertaining (most skits aside), and I can see how he's developed the following he has gotten. On the other hand, he keeps missing important plot points in many of his reviews to the point where I think it's reasonable to say he sucks at his job.
With Cinderella no longer being there to kick around Anastasia might have become a lightning rod for their family's negativity, so she might be feeling the misery Cinderella did, and Cinderella doesn't come off as the type to hold a grudge.
kurius7885 - In every Cinderella remake I've seen, it always feels like one of the step-siblings is not as bad as the other and the step-parent. They're just following the crowd to protect themselves from being picked on or mistreated like who ever is that story's version of Cinderella. I've seen in it in Disney Cinderella sequels, The Cinderella Story movies, and even that Nickelodeon movie, Rags, that had a Cinderella theme to it.
@@rushmaverick1923 This is a theme they also use, much more heavily, in the stage show they do on cruises, although, it also shows that when her side is "winning" she tends to get swept up in it as well. Twice Charmed is the story I'm referring to. They get a Wicked Fairy Godfather and go back in time. They end up cursed for eternity, for their troubles.
I found Bambi 2 really good. Bambi dealt with PTSD from what happened with his mother and liked how they were talking about being brave and trying to be bigger than whatever is scaring them. And how Bambi overcame his fear when he's reminded of his mother telling him to run but he gets the monsters to chase him to help her.

I personally like “That’s my lullaby” more than “be prepared”, as while scar just wanted to be king, “my lullaby” is about commiting genocide, to a little boy.
It's my favorite Disney movie to this day. It's lowkey hilarious to watch as an adult and realize how much stuff in it is SO adult and dark/deep. Like that movie taught me the word mercenary 🤣I can quote the whole damn movie too lol
I must admit my own personal guilt, and say that I like Mulan II. I can't even explain why. I should hate it, as I love the original, but there's something about the amounts of cheesiness and melodrama that delights me.
"He Lives in You" and "The Morning Report" were both supposed to be in the original Lion King but were cut. Pretty sure they're both in the Broadway musical but it's been like 10 years since I've seen it.
yes they were, and also on the re launch of the Lion King Movie they added the morning report... just like in Beauty and the Beast they added "Human again" in the DVD version
I remember watching Lion King 2 shortly after my mom passed away (almost 14 years ago now) and the song "we are one" made me cry. It made me remember that my mom was still alive, in me. I really needed that back then. I was only 15 (my mom was 32). In a way that reignited my love for disney in my teen years. I also Cried for Koda in brother bear when kenai was telling him he killed Kodas mom.
Zittle Toadstool It wasn’t a Direct-to-DVD movie. It released to theaters in February 2002 and then to VHS and DVD in August 2002. I loved that movie, too. 😊
Honestly I really love the first Brother Bear, but even as a kid I felt that the second one was... off. Not really good. I also loved the second Bambi movie, and I wholeheartedly agree with the father showing too much vulnerability. Personally I wouldn't want him to be too strict through and through, but a better, longer build-up between him and his son would've been better perhaps? A slow-burn to build up the father/son relationship until the father is actually comfortable enough to show some humanity, not just have him be kinda socially awkward as a dad. I dunno, hard to explain.
Two little points of Lion King II I thought worth mentioning are the Lullaby song and the moment Kiara and Kovu are looking up at the sky and she says "father says the great kings of the past are up there" line to which Kovu, enraptured, replies "do you think Scar is up there?" And she gives him a look that could only be described as pity. It's a surprisingly deep moment with a pretty dark real-world equivalent. Kovu has been raised in what is tantamount to a Scar Cult, fed lies about Scar's greatness and how Simba was an evil usurper. Despite the vast population knowing Scar was a monster, Kovu doesn't because of how insular the cult was and you can compare that to some pretty insidious beliefs of real groups today. Obviously, Neo-Nazis are the cliche example. (Every argument online eventually comes to Hitler!) But there really are children being raised in those groups being taught that Hitler was right and everything the world believes about him are either lies or exaggerations and to even vaguely parallel that in this movie is a dark concept.
I was at Dragoncon earlier this year and met the guy who was responsible for the direct to dvd movies. He called them a black spot on his soul and they were an accident. Originally Return of Jafar was going to just be a two part pilot on tv, but he suggested a VHS release and everything spiraled. Also, on the topic of Atlantis Milo’s Return, he was also in charge of that and he described it as “the closest I could ever get to making a Hellboy animated series”. They had 23 episodes when the plug was pulled. Man I wish he’d gotten to do what he described in that panel.
Funnily enough, the Atlantis series actually would have tied into Gargoyles as one of the episodes had Demona as the main villain and her plot in that episode tied into the finale of Gargoyles season 2.
Man, Milo's Return annoys me. Atlantis was never a GREAT movie but its animation was great and that whole Atlantean apocalypse at the end is one of the coolest things Disney ever did. Come Milo's Return and it all looks like shit.
RE: Belle's Magical World That's exactly what happened. The shorts were made for a Beauty and the Beast TV show that got cancelled before it aired, so they animated a quick intro, threw them together, and turned it into a "movie" to try to make SOME money off of it. They should have just let the footage die.
That mickey Christmas special is the first thing i ever seen Daisy in so I've always just assumed she is a horrible selfish jealous character Any time I ever seen her in anything else after it im always surprised and sceptical when she's nice!!!!
Simba's Pride is definitely the most tolerable sequel that was made. There were some pretty decent songs, especially the villain song. The new characters were somewhat enjoyable to watch as well. Some bits were extremely forced with the romance, but it expanded the world appropriately without becoming implausible.
I think Kiara×Kovu is a bit more compelling of a couple than Simba×Nala cuz a) we get more time with them developing as a couple and b) both Kiara and Kovu get decent development.
In the almost 9 years I've been watching this show I have never disagreed so hard on anything like I did with Lion Kind 1 1/2! It's a goddamn Disney treasure !
The DVD was CHOCK FULL of extras and games in its Disc 2, like a trivia game in the style of Who Wants to be a Millionaire, a rollercoaster ride, an alternate Dig a Tunna song, behind the scenes, etc. I remember going to the extras more than watching the actual movie itself. Ahahahahaha
Koda at NO POINT during Brother Bear 2 tries to sabotage Kenai and Nita's relationship, he's just jealous cause he's basically being neglected throughout the montage and is worried Kenai's gonna leave him. The worst thing he does is run away from the two.
While i love Dougs reviews, i'll never understand it when people say something doesn't need to exist. Make everything! Try every story in every combination. For every one that misses you'll get a hit, and hits are good
The weird thing about Cinderella 3 is that it was clearly implied that the step sister was actually the wife of Prince Charming’s dad that went back in time. But it feels like the writers chickened out for obvious reasons
@@Kyolover8 Basically Cinderella’s stepsister looks and acts just like prince charming’s mom as pointed out by the king. And the fact that time travel is involved, Makes it seem like she went back in time and basically became the kings wife. it’s really weird I definitely suggest you watch it and pay attention to those details
I dont agree with how you reviewed lion king 2. I actually find it a pretty good movie but you kept comparing it to one of the best movies of all time in the first lion king.
"The Lion King"is and will forever be my favorite Disney movies of all times. I've seen it dozens of times and even after YEARS I still know all the lines and I keep repeating it all by heart whenever I have to wait for a long period of time before doing something....I've grown with BOTH"The Lion King"and"The Lion King 2"(so I DID make comparisons)and I *also* know"The Lion King 2"by heart and love it just as well.
@@Nicamon The only issue I find in The Lion King 2 is that the basic set-up is invented out of bullshit. Scar never had a selected heir or a band of loyalists. And it doesn't make sense that he even would because we see the pride *going hungry* under him. Unless you wanna say he had a Secret Plan B if the hyenas didn't work but that's still just invented bullshit. Its entire premise being bullshit aside though, it's only a little less good. And it taught me the word 'exile' which is cool.
@@voridori2863 Yeah,that is true. I thought the same the 1st time I saw the movie. I guess I came to accept it because I liked the movie itself and so I was able to forgive its weak premise eventually. But you're totally right. Another thing I thought was this:Zira said that Kovu was born just before Simba banished her and the other Outlanders so *how is it possible* that Scar made Kovu his heir *if he wasn't even born yet?* He was just like:"OK,Nuka is weak,stupid and useless so whenever you give birth to the next male lion,he's gonna be my heir."to Zira?Mmhh...unlikely....:-/
1:17:25 "It's never addressed what happens after this!" Actually, and I hate to defend this movie, it is in the scene prior. Mushu DOES tell the emperor guy that the alliance shall happen anyway.
Thank you for clarifying, it's been a long while since I watched that movie and I only saw it that one time so I didn't really remember how they handwaved it. Still I kind of agree with NC on how the plot doesn't quite add up. As I remember it I think it would have been better with lower international stakes (no huns, or at least n immediately imminent huns), just an escort mission where the emperor needs someone reliable to guard the princesses on their way to the arranged marriage, let Mulan and her bf have a fight on their own merits (even good couples can have bad fights without dragon involvement) and then wrap it up more or less like it was. It still wouldn't be a great movie but it would have been a little less frustrating.
There's really no argument. Cinderella is a classic and staple of Disney History, but it's a product of Disney's step into the Princess fairy tales. Cinderella 3 does what very little of the sequels did (including C2) and expanded upon her character, giving her things to do and making her WORK for her fairy tale ending.
I had never watched the first Cinderella until like 4 years ago and I always watched the third one. I honestly remember thinking as a kid “why are they turning back time.” Because I always thought it was the original. And honestly I love the third so much more than the original because of that😂
I feel like Cinderella didn't need an arc in A Twist in Time because she's already had two(?). Anastasia was the character arc-driven focus, so she had the most development. Cinderella was the one meant to guide her to that.
Critic stop it stop saying you were too old you're never too old for Disney ever I will be 90 still watching Disney cuz you're never too old for Disney so stop it LOL
I had the little mermaid ll on vhs as a kid and i loved it, must have watched it over 30 times. I really wanna watch it again now to see if it holds up for me
Fun fact about the deer call in Bambi 2 : Back in the day they'd actually use parts of the deer to make that noise so he very well could've been listening to the deceased voice of his Mother being used as a tool.
Yes, bear-baiting (as it was called) was an English "entertainment" back then. It involved chaining a bear down, typically by one leg or by the neck, and other animals were set on the bear to fight it (usually they used English bulldogs...a breed of dog that got their name because they were in bull-baiting, which is the same as what was done to the bears). Bear baiting was still a sport at the time Pocahontas was living in London; it was not until 1835 that baiting was prohibited by Parliament. One of the few things that this film got right historically is that the people of London did not shun Pocahontas (who was, by that time, married to John Rolfe [it's still debated how much say she had in that arrangement] and was introduced to London society as Rebecca Rolfe) and they treated her as something of a celebrity because the Virginia Company wanted to show people that they could "convert Indians to Christianity" and the company saw an opportunity to promote further investment with the conversion of Pocahontas and her marriage to Rolfe. Ofc, like Disney's first version of Pocahontas, they left out a lot of the "messy" details like the fact that Pocahontas was captured at the age of 17 by English settlers and held captive for a year, during which time she (supposedly) became a Christian, was baptised "Rebecca" and married Rolfe a year later. She also died at the age of 21, most likely from some illness contracted in London. But hey, those kinds of facts get in the way of telling good stories...and mediocre ones, like this film.
I think we can all agree how horrible Pocahontas 2 was completely horrifying except Where Do I Go. Disney screwed up so bad by making it more historically correct instead of just sticking with their own story.
For some reason I've watched all of the Tinkerbell movies. They weren't great, but I really liked them somehow. I hope you review them at some point :)
@@11shiroineko I agree for the most part but I will argue that the Legend of the Neverbeast is an extraordinary movie, because it helps kids to get through some really tough and rarely touched on topics. Also, the soundtrack OMG
I’d rather watch most of these than the Disney live action remakes hell I love Return to neverland (yes I know it was released to theatres but you get the idea) Cinderella 3 (and maybe Cinderella 2 shut up) Lion king 2 Aladdin and the king of thieves Leroy and stitch Beauty and the beast magical Christmas (because of Tim curry) 102 Dalmatians patches London adventure Lion king 1 1/2 Kronks new groove Not all of them are good but again there better than blank expressionless lions and autotuning Emma Watson stop with the Disney remakes
Please tell me how many real lions have made emotion-filled expressions. And autotune isn't always bad. Stop making excuses to hate the live-action remakes. It's childish.
Brianna Chiavetta I can hate on them all I want they’re same fucking movie as their animated counterparts like why am I gonna go watch a live action version of something that’s been done already and done better like you got Sony breaking new ground with into the spiderverse combination of cg and hand drawn animation with a story with characters I legitimately give a shit about and want to see more of miles journey of becoming Spider-Man is more interesting and compelling than Disney repeating what they did years ago hell simba having a daughter and Jane going to neverland to experience what child like fun is all about is more interesting then scar bitch smacking Mufasa to his death if there people out there who like em fine by all means I’m in no position to force you to hate them but people like me can have our opinions about these live action remakes and I honest to god hate them for sheer form of laziness
The lilo and stitch stuff were the only ones I think were given real love, those felt very different from most of the sequels, ok stich has a glitch was the exception, but i enjoy the series alot.
@@Emisop literally look up "lion smiling" on google and you can see how much more emotion are in these REAL lions than in the animated movie lmao. even the lion from Narnia does it better.
The Alladin King of Thieves review is honestly missing some marks, as if Doug didn't listen to the dialogues closely. Firstly, the father did return for his son and wife after obtaining wealth, but he couldn't find them. Why and how, that's a weak point, but still, he tried to return and failed. So, when he discovered he still had a son, he was understandably confused: he was a thief for ten-something years, and he didn't find himself in a role of a father. He in fact got tricked into going to the wedding by Iago, who wanted to find the treasue himself. And then, he fails to actually recover the scepter: its done by the bad guy instead, who then kidnaps him and forces him to find the treasure for him. This forces Alladin to go and rescue him: Alladin didn't want to find the treasure, he just wanted to rescue his father. Then, they took the treasure: they were already there, on this super elusive island, so might as well try: father son bonding time. However at this point daddo learned his lesson and decided he cares for his son more (probably because the damn son travelled half the world to rescue him). The plot and motivations made sense. And that they could have been clearer at times? Fair point: I just wanted to point out that everything WAS explained.
A good callout, I noticed that too. Doug acted like this film did not show or explain anything. This was good sequel honestly. Do not sleep on King of Thieves .
Tbh I loved the Little Mermaid 2, and I still love it (most likely for nostalgia reasons) I just remember as a kid always enjoying it and seeing that magical underwater world come to life again. Yeah, it’s flawed in quite a lot of places, but I still think it’s cute and charming.
I feel like it needs to be mentioned that Zira in Lion King 2 was voiced by the same woman who played Annie Hayworth in The Birds and voiced Yubaba in the English dub of Spirited Away
Wasn’t Cinderella 3 meant to be really good too?? 🤔I haven’t seen it, but the critic loved that and the 101 Dalmatians animated sequel patch’s adventure was it??
And that was even more so with one Michael Eisner in charge of the Disney conglomerate. While his era started well with the introduction of Touchstone pictures, the label of the more mature themed films they made such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and introduced Jeffrey Katzenberg to Feature Animation that he may have a hand in jump starting a Renaissance (which he would), but his decision making skills began to take a turn for the worse when his No. 2, Frank Wells, died in a helicopter accident and despite having kindled a great working relationship with Katzenberg at Paramount prior to the two jumping ship to Disney (thereby proving his capabilities), Eisner denied the man the promotion he showed some interest in prior to the seat going free. Who knows what Disney would look like if he agreed, but his decision would make Katzenberg his worst enemy. In time, I will go into the consequences of this.
Well I like it if they do it right. As a kid, one thing that bothered me about Disney movies was I was always wondering why they never showed what happened after marriage or hooking up the main couple. As an adult now I can appreciate the value in movies about how to make a relationship work. It's not bad in and of itself to explore the possibilities beyond the "happily ever after" ending.
To continue, Katzenberg left Disney just six months after being denied the promotion and the first thing he did once that was over was to start a new studio, DreamWorks. The parting was not a happy one. Between five years of lawsuits over the severance package and insults from Eisner including the phrase "little midget", you can see his motivation is revenge. As such, he wasted no time in producing controversy with the first animation to come out of the studio, Antz in 1998. I'll let you guess why accusations began to fly shortly thereafter
My family during Movie night watch BOTH Bambi movies at the same time. We basically put the dvd second movie in and the vhs tape in the player and switch between the two to make one big long movie. It's honestly surprising how well they flow together actually. It took us some practice, but damn was it worth it. I know it's kinda odd, but I say try it because instead of seeing them as two movies about the same story. One trying to be better then the other and whatnot. When you play them both. Instead it's like I said before. One long movie.
Yeah, I was thinking that too. It was a line just thrown out there. However, how long did Kassim look? I was never sure if Aladdin was in the same home that he always was in, or just moved around whenever the guards found him. Since he still had tattered drapes, pillows, and even a secret storage area. Did Kassim just check the house that his family was last in? He didn't bother asking the merchants "Hey, where is my family?" I mean....the townspeople KNEW who Aladdin was. So....one could argue that, he did go back and look, but probably not very well. Maybe the call of adventure had such a grip on him, that he didn't focus on as much as went back to look for his conscience sake.
But that also makes his motivation weird, once he found his son and knew he was doing well, why look for the same treasure you supposedly wanted to take of them with, as Doug said why not live in the palace. But he strangely still goes after the treasure. Obsession i think so
You really should think about doing a review of the Tinkerbell squeals. My daughter would watch these things all the time. Her entire room was covered in Tinkerbell, and I thought I was going to go crazy from the first two playing over and over, but every time a new sequel came out it was better than the last. If I had to pick only one it would be Neverbeast. Tinkerbell isn't really the focus, but its so funny, has beautiful environments and you're kinda a monster if you don't tear up at the end.
@@MintyCoffee clearly he hasn't. I hold B&B in high regards (even as far as being chip in a performance of the broadway version in high school -- we got the greenlight from disney), yet the live action version I probably love more. There's just more heart and soul in it -- Josh Gad as Lefou bribing bar patrons to play along rather than just calling them all drips - what i can only think is supposed to be a child friendly way of saying a derogatory term - is just the best thing ever for starters. To think that's Emma Watson as Belle....Hermione grew up fast.
@@zingzaber6989 Well his opinion is trash I'd take every single remake over less quality animation like their sequels only Lion King 2 was brilliant for the sequels
Steven Jones at least direct to video sequels attempt to bring a new story to the audience rather than being just a high budget cosplay of the original movies
...He mentioned "The Thief" in the first direct to DVD review and my brain went "Oh! I remember Abis Mal!" Then I took a moment to realize something... "Wait a MINUTE! That's a PUN!" It took me until the age of 29 to realize his name was a PUN. I need my adult card revoked.
I didn’t realize it until I read your comment and even then it took me a minute to fully get it, I just got off a long day at work. I guess we both got to get our adult cards revoked
I can see why Return to Neverland, The Jungle Book 2 and Beauty and the Beast the Enchanted Christmas are not on here for two reasons. 1. Return to Neverland and Jungle Book 2 were theatrical releases. 2. He already did a Disneycember review on them back in 2015, while he Disneycember review on all of these movies in 2016.
I totally agree! I still watch that movie today and find myself laughing and crying at it! Heck I’ll watch them both back to back sometimes pausing the middle of the first movie to watch the second! I loved the father he was so relatable having grown up with a dad in the military. Bambi’s father was strict but not in an unloving way but in a very understanding way; and when he has to make a decision about keeping Bambi or giving him a new mother, it breaks my heart. I don’t know, I could talk forever about this movie, I almost enjoy it more than the first because it tells a complete story with so many characters, and the original while having a great story, didn’t give many characters fleshing out. I love this movie and will defend it til I die. And...I’ll get off my soapbox now 😶
The Tinker Bell movies are my favorites. I loved having the Tinker Bell movies themed birthday party when it first came out. I also enjoyed The Little Mermaid 2, Cinderella 2 and 3, Return to Neverland, and Pocahontas 2 a lot. :)
Return of Jafar was one of my favorite sequels because Iago was my favorite Disney character of all time. When I was a little kid, I had an obsession with birds (they're still my favorite animals!) and especially parrots. Because of that, I liked Iago a lot, so I was thrilled with a whole movie about him! And you know what, sometimes I still even look up the songs he sang in that movie on youtube. I really like Forget About Love. (You're Only Second Rate was another great song.) It was also genuinely upsetting when Aladdin was going to be put to death. It's still a little disturbing to watch even now.
19:54 bear torture was def entertainment in the day... still is in some places... called dancing bears... they drag them around on chains by piercings in their nose and beat them to make them dance
I am watching this because i know my child mind mixed a lot of movies around when i saw these as a child. Here are some examples i found out due to this video: - I thought the Revenge of Jafar was considered a good movie because of it's "dark tone" as i was too scared to watch it as a little child - I really liked all the Lilo & Stitch sequals and as a child they were as good, if not better than the original because they focused more and more on weird alien stuff. - The Lion King 1 1/2 is known outside America as The Lion King 3, and my parents presented this one and the first one as the same movie fron different perspectives, which left me like 3 - 1 1/2 more than the orginal for it's lighter tone.
As someone who gets really stressed out around Christmas and often doesn't enjoy it very much due to the stress, I absolutely LOATHE the message of "just enjoy Christmas, man". Like, yeah, I do think the least you can do is be somewhat positive about it around your loved ones, but by god, if someone needs a break from the holidays, just let them have their goddamn break. Forcing someone to love Christmas constantly and to the extreme level is only cementing the relation between stress and the holidays. Don't do that to people. Every time someone would dump Christmas down my throat when I just needed a little time away from it I would feel this resent building up in me, and I genuinely started loathing it because I couldn't escape it. Honestly, I resonate with Donald Duck needing a goddamn break from it all for a little bit.

@@brittanyyates6527 Yeah, please!
How about HE double hockey stick as part of Disney Month is actually a pretty good movie
I think The Best DTV Disney Sequels and movies are THE RETURN OF JAFAR, ALADDIN AND THE KING OF FORTY THIEVES, and THE BUZZ LIGHTYEAR OF STAR COMMAND movie. Also many people don't know this POOH'S GRAND ADVENTURE THE SEARCH FOR CHRISTOPHER ROBIN is DTV. But the animation is so AMAZING For many years I thought that it was theatrically released.

He forgot Fantasia 2000. That one is also a bad Disney to Direct sequel.
That moment when you remember that Disney Direct to DVD movies were more part of your childhood than the normal ones 😂
Oh shit...you’re right all these came out when I was alive instead of before I was even born
Not me I watched all my Disney movies in theaters and watch the originals I really didn't watch the direct DVD's but then again I'm 37 so that krapp was just coming out.
Lol
Lol I am in my childhood and we got DVDs of soooooo many of them but none were sequels that I can remember
Lol
Is nobody going to talk about that one line from Tarzan and Jane where Jane's friends show up and Tarzan's like
"My parents died in this treehouse...right there"
lol that line always got me laughing. Tarzan's lines were really awkward in that sequel (more like they dumbed him dramatically) but that one line felt right.
"I...I never met them...they were killed by Sabor, the leopard...in this room....right THERE!

The Lion King 2 is my favorite Disney sequel of all time. I grew up watching it a lot as a kid along with the first film and I've never had a problem with the "down-graded" animation quality. I love the story, the characters and the songs. Heck, Kiara is my favorite character from the Lion King films. I know It's not for everyone, but I personally love it with all of my heart
Me too!!
I love it too! I named my dog Kovu after the character
Same!
its pretty awesome but for me lilo and stitch 2 is just as good
Same, but for me it was Bambi 2
Three daughters, five years a part, in succession, kept falling in love with Cinderella 3. I have been forced to watch Cinderella 3 repeatedly for the last 13 years.
Ooh that's rough
Lucky
I’m getting married a week from Saturday and hoping for 2 daughters. I’m looking forward to spending time with them like that
small children eat this movie up and i know that because i was obsessed with this movie when i was little and i still think it’s really good
F
As someone whose father is... unfortunately reflected in Aladdin's, his character is surprisingly natural. Having someone who is incredibly proud, and does honestly love but doesn't understand how to show or express that. Often times it also connects to feeling like they themselves failed and not being able to face it properly.
I can't believe you didn't talk about the best scene in Cinderella 3 with the prince, you know, with the window!! it's the best scene in that movie!!
The Prince is a little jewel in that movie!I love that guy SO MUCH!He's so adorable and funny!X-D
Also this scene
Anastasia: "All of our troubles are over!" *pulls out wand*
Lady Tremaine: "A stick?"
Drizella: "Ooh, let's beat her with it!"
That's so hilarious and out of place, I love it.
I FORBID you from taking another step

If I could point this out, I think you missed a detail in Aladdin and the King of Thieves. If I remember correctly, I think his father said he DID come back for his wife and son after finding wealth. Only to find they were both gone (and assumed they were dead) so he returned back to his thief life
Redgnome110 nobody cares you have a Yaoi profile pic

That user is being an ass and saying no one cares about my comment just because of my profile pick. Which literally has nothing to do with my comment
Redgnome110 I know right
it isn’t even relevant to the comment
He being an asshole and ludicrous
I feel like Kovu was written to be Scar's son and last second someone realized that would make him and Kiara cousins and the writers backtracked
That's exactly what happened.
Well honestly people already know that nala and simba would technically be siblings so....
@@Kyolover8 bro what
@@Kyolover8 Or cousins.
@@starstudio8402 that's how prides work. Only one male, all the cubs in the pride are his. So if Simba and Nala are in the same pride, Mufasa is the father of both, so they're half siblings.
I mean, I feel like the whole "Cinderella being nice to Anastasia" thing DOES make sense simply because Cinderella is a good person. She's a princess of light for a reason, y'know
Cinderella could highlight how different they are in terms of family background. Does divine right bother Cinderella, or does she accept the world of power that she's now a part of. Next: Cinderella overthrows the castle
Kingdom Hearts?
I assume OP is talking about kingdom hearts which would be a little more obvious if they had used the more fitting title "princess of heart"
princess of heart
Disney is repeating history of the direct-to-DVD movies with the live actions. They do so much better when they *don't* do unnecessary sequels or remakes.
The lion king looked amazing at least that means they will have. Good animated movies in the futreb
@@sleepingonyourroof it looked good, but realistic CG can’t do animated movies. Imagine Nemo but he’s a literal clownfish… it wouldn’t hold up.
@@TheWizardGamez yeah but if they can make a live action increadables that looks like that I will be impressed
@@sleepingonyourroof It was amazing, kust not as good as the original, but i would not co.plain if every ither remate was like that
@@BrazilianImperialist I didn’t watch the Lion King remake until just last year because Beauty and the Beast was so awful that I couldn’t even finish it. The Lion King remake is actually pretty good. This is coming from someone who hates the Lion King due to a lot of issues with the original film. What I really liked was that they show Nala escaping from Scar to find help. And showing that part of Scar’s jealousy was driven by his lust for queen Sarabi. I also liked the extra screen time for Timon and Pumba and I think the VA’s for them really put in the effort. Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner (sorry if I spelled it wrong) did a phenomenal job voicing those characters. That being said the remake doesn’t get good until the second half because it seems like James Earl Jones really phoned it in when returning to the role of Mufasa. And the songs were not nearly as good (even down right awful) except for Hakuna Matata. Some parts of the movie didn’t really translate well with the realistic style either. That said I’m glad I watched the remake and dare I say It liked it more than the original film even if the first half was weaker.
Anyone notice that Aladdin's dad throws the hand of midas in the ocean? The effect takes time, but slowly the entire planet was turned into gold, killing everyone and everything!!!!!!!!

Yeah I still think An Extremely Goofy Movie should've had Roxanne.
Maybe that Librarian could've been Roxannes mother?
It was still awesome movie LOL
@@begood4786 yeah I can see them looking alike
@@PinkGoldAbby That,,, Would've been really weird. As Goofy was forming a relationship with her and Max and Roxanne would've been step-siblings if she was related to the librarian.
Nah.
It still annoys me that one of Doug's criticisms of Aladdin and the King of Theives was why Aladdin's father never came back after finding enough treasure to provide for his family. When the same scene that reveals also says he did come back but couldnt find Aladdin or his wife. He thought they were dead so he left.
I know this comment is 2 years old as of writing but I feel the need to respond and fully express my love-hate relationship with Doug's reviews after 10+ years of watching.
On one hand, he's still super entertaining (most skits aside), and I can see how he's developed the following he has gotten. On the other hand, he keeps missing important plot points in many of his reviews to the point where I think it's reasonable to say he sucks at his job.
Lion King II might have the best soundtrack out of all the sequels. Sometimes I think it even matches up to the original score and soundtrack
I actually like the soundtrack of the sequel way better than the one of the original
@@solus8685 YES!!!
Several songs in 2 were written for the first movie I'm pretty sure.
The first Lion King had one of the best scores in cinematic history! The sequel got its table scraps.
Deception. (an outrage)
Disgrace. (for shame)
I haven't seen that film in more than a decade and I still remember that song 😁
With Cinderella no longer being there to kick around Anastasia might have become a lightning rod for their family's negativity, so she might be feeling the misery Cinderella did, and Cinderella doesn't come off as the type to hold a grudge.
kurisu7885 I mean, there’s ‘holding a grudge' and then 'forgetting the suffering you were put through for nearly a decade'
@@SylentVoidkeeper yeah but I think Cinderella blames her Stepmother mostly, rather than Anastasia or Drizzela
kurius7885 - In every Cinderella remake I've seen, it always feels like one of the step-siblings is not as bad as the other and the step-parent. They're just following the crowd to protect themselves from being picked on or mistreated like who ever is that story's version of Cinderella. I've seen in it in Disney Cinderella sequels, The Cinderella Story movies, and even that Nickelodeon movie, Rags, that had a Cinderella theme to it.
@@rushmaverick1923 ive noticed that too
@@rushmaverick1923 This is a theme they also use, much more heavily, in the stage show they do on cruises, although, it also shows that when her side is "winning" she tends to get swept up in it as well. Twice Charmed is the story I'm referring to. They get a Wicked Fairy Godfather and go back in time. They end up cursed for eternity, for their troubles.
I personally really liked the Lion King 2.
I agree with you wholeheartedly
Sure but did I ask
@@remasterzoofrombo152 Did anyone ask if you asked?
🎶DISEPTION!!!🎶
Me too it’s one of the best Disney sequels
I found Bambi 2 really good. Bambi dealt with PTSD from what happened with his mother and liked how they were talking about being brave and trying to be bigger than whatever is scaring them. And how Bambi overcame his fear when he's reminded of his mother telling him to run but he gets the monsters to chase him to help her.

I personally like “That’s my lullaby” more than “be prepared”, as while scar just wanted to be king, “my lullaby” is about commiting genocide, to a little boy.

@@poweroffriendship2.0 is that a family Guy joke
Man, the original Atlantis is such a hidden gem. Really blew my mind as a kid, though probably better for a slightly older audience
It's my favorite Disney movie to this day. It's lowkey hilarious to watch as an adult and realize how much stuff in it is SO adult and dark/deep. Like that movie taught me the word mercenary 🤣I can quote the whole damn movie too lol
I saw a lot of these and did not care for most of them. The ones I loved the most was Aladdin and King of Thieves, Lion King 2, and Goofy Movie 2.
I must admit my own personal guilt, and say that I like Mulan II. I can't even explain why. I should hate it, as I love the original, but there's something about the amounts of cheesiness and melodrama that delights me.
Same bruh I love it so much even if it doesn’t make sense
Hey man we all have those pieces of media that we know are bad and can't really defend qualitywise and yet we love them, and that's OK :)
I also really like that movie
Taste is subjective. Personally I won't watch Tarzan 2 because I can't stand prequel/midquel movies, and Doug liked that one.
Ik 2 years old but... They essentially screwed over China for purely selfish reasons.
Thank you for taking the time to compile this!
I think it's funny how many were just TV pilots
Oh yeah the beauty beast one was supposed to be a TV series but got canned quickly
Kyle Shiflet like Cinderella 2
Yes they finished 3 episodes but since the show was canceled they decided to paste them together and make a direct to DVD sequel.
Kyle Shiflet Knew it
That scene where a hunter tricks Bambi with something that sounds like his mother still gives me nightmares.
Aladdin's father was hot.
Umm....
yeah
I think you missed typed not
He is indeed a silver fox
Umm....
"He Lives in You" and "The Morning Report" were both supposed to be in the original Lion King but were cut. Pretty sure they're both in the Broadway musical but it's been like 10 years since I've seen it.
yes they were, and also on the re launch of the Lion King Movie they added the morning report... just like in Beauty and the Beast they added "Human again" in the DVD version
Yeah He Lives in You is in the Broadway version, it's probably my favorite song from Lion King tbh
Oh man, I was watching the one with all the Studio Ghibli Films. Guess I have the day covered.
I remember watching Lion King 2 shortly after my mom passed away (almost 14 years ago now) and the song "we are one" made me cry. It made me remember that my mom was still alive, in me. I really needed that back then. I was only 15 (my mom was 32). In a way that reignited my love for disney in my teen years. I also Cried for Koda in brother bear when kenai was telling him he killed Kodas mom.
*Cough* Peter Pan return to neverland *Cough* Sorry I had a Disney movie that wasn't mention in my throat.
Zittle Toadstool It wasn’t a Direct-to-DVD movie. It released to theaters in February 2002 and then to VHS and DVD in August 2002. I loved that movie, too. 😊
ZittleTube He already covered it.
I noticed the same thing. 😂
He reviewed it in a previous Disneycember. He also reviewed Beauty and the Beast 2, hence why it isn't here either.
Honestly I really love the first Brother Bear, but even as a kid I felt that the second one was... off. Not really good. I also loved the second Bambi movie, and I wholeheartedly agree with the father showing too much vulnerability. Personally I wouldn't want him to be too strict through and through, but a better, longer build-up between him and his son would've been better perhaps? A slow-burn to build up the father/son relationship until the father is actually comfortable enough to show some humanity, not just have him be kinda socially awkward as a dad. I dunno, hard to explain.
Two little points of Lion King II I thought worth mentioning are the Lullaby song and the moment Kiara and Kovu are looking up at the sky and she says "father says the great kings of the past are up there" line to which Kovu, enraptured, replies "do you think Scar is up there?" And she gives him a look that could only be described as pity. It's a surprisingly deep moment with a pretty dark real-world equivalent.
Kovu has been raised in what is tantamount to a Scar Cult, fed lies about Scar's greatness and how Simba was an evil usurper. Despite the vast population knowing Scar was a monster, Kovu doesn't because of how insular the cult was and you can compare that to some pretty insidious beliefs of real groups today. Obviously, Neo-Nazis are the cliche example. (Every argument online eventually comes to Hitler!) But there really are children being raised in those groups being taught that Hitler was right and everything the world believes about him are either lies or exaggerations and to even vaguely parallel that in this movie is a dark concept.
Aladdin King of Theives is dope af. Written by the shows staff, quality collaborated script.
I was at Dragoncon earlier this year and met the guy who was responsible for the direct to dvd movies. He called them a black spot on his soul and they were an accident. Originally Return of Jafar was going to just be a two part pilot on tv, but he suggested a VHS release and everything spiraled. Also, on the topic of Atlantis Milo’s Return, he was also in charge of that and he described it as “the closest I could ever get to making a Hellboy animated series”. They had 23 episodes when the plug was pulled. Man I wish he’d gotten to do what he described in that panel.
Funnily enough, the Atlantis series actually would have tied into Gargoyles as one of the episodes had Demona as the main villain and her plot in that episode tied into the finale of Gargoyles season 2.
Man, Milo's Return annoys me. Atlantis was never a GREAT movie but its animation was great and that whole Atlantean apocalypse at the end is one of the coolest things Disney ever did. Come Milo's Return and it all looks like shit.
What is his name?
WHERE ARE THE OTHER 23 EPISODES DID HE SAY, I NEED THEM
"You could tell they knew this was going to be the last thing Aladdin-related"
Meanwhile, in 2019...
That's more so recreating one of the Aladdin-related things
he meant animated films
Doug, you're the hero we never know we needed, because I certainly wasn't sitting through all of these.
"The movie has three climaxes!"

RE: Belle's Magical World
That's exactly what happened. The shorts were made for a Beauty and the Beast TV show that got cancelled before it aired, so they animated a quick intro, threw them together, and turned it into a "movie" to try to make SOME money off of it. They should have just let the footage die.
Or just released them in an anniversary edition.
They pulled the same crap with Atlantis 2.

@@lemonferret a
Simba's Pride is definitely the most tolerable sequel that was made. There were some pretty decent songs, especially the villain song. The new characters were somewhat enjoyable to watch as well. Some bits were extremely forced with the romance, but it expanded the world appropriately without becoming implausible.
It was also drawn/animated very well for a sequel j
I think Kiara×Kovu is a bit more compelling of a couple than Simba×Nala cuz a) we get more time with them developing as a couple and b) both Kiara and Kovu get decent development.
In the almost 9 years I've been watching this show I have never disagreed so hard on anything like I did with Lion Kind 1 1/2! It's a goddamn Disney treasure !
The DVD was CHOCK FULL of extras and games in its Disc 2, like a trivia game in the style of Who Wants to be a Millionaire, a rollercoaster ride, an alternate Dig a Tunna song, behind the scenes, etc. I remember going to the extras more than watching the actual movie itself. Ahahahahaha
You think so? Lion King 2 beats it by light years.
My man the critic hated Mulan II so much that he blew out his microphone because he was screaming too much. What a legend.
Koda at NO POINT during Brother Bear 2 tries to sabotage Kenai and Nita's relationship, he's just jealous cause he's basically being neglected throughout the montage and is worried Kenai's gonna leave him. The worst thing he does is run away from the two.
Lion king 2 was a great film imo.
Tbh I like it more than the original
@@godot8694 lol no.
@@godot8694 me too. I was so obsessed with TLK2 when I was a kid. I knew all the lines lmao
Lilo and stitch tho?
Agreed.
While i love Dougs reviews, i'll never understand it when people say something doesn't need to exist. Make everything! Try every story in every combination. For every one that misses you'll get a hit, and hits are good
Oaknowledged it’s more “this shouldn’t have been a movie/ this shouldn’t have been hyped as a real sequel”
I saw the three musketeers and thought that it was underrated. Some of the stuff in it was pretty funny.
Finally, I'm glad I'm not the only one.
One of my favourite movies 🥳
The weird thing about Cinderella 3 is that it was clearly implied that the step sister was actually the wife of Prince Charming’s dad that went back in time. But it feels like the writers chickened out for obvious reasons
Wait how do you figure this? What did I miss that implied this? Not being rude, I'm genuinely curious.
@@Kyolover8 Basically Cinderella’s stepsister looks and acts just like prince charming’s mom as pointed out by the king. And the fact that time travel is involved, Makes it seem like she went back in time and basically became the kings wife. it’s really weird I definitely suggest you watch it and pay attention to those details
I thought an Extremely Goofy Movie was a good one. And Cinderella III was so amazingly crazy it’s ironically enjoyable
I dont agree with how you reviewed lion king 2. I actually find it a pretty good movie but you kept comparing it to one of the best movies of all time in the first lion king.
"The Lion King"is and will forever be my favorite Disney movies of all times. I've seen it dozens of times and even after YEARS I still know all the lines and I keep repeating it all by heart whenever I have to wait for a long period of time before doing something....I've grown with BOTH"The Lion King"and"The Lion King 2"(so I DID make comparisons)and I *also* know"The Lion King 2"by heart and love it just as well.
Jelmer van Riet of course he compared it to the original. Sequels are supposed to be as good as, if not surpass the film it follows.
@@MintyCoffee Right.And,in my opinion,"The Lion King 2"is as good as the 1st one or,if not,just *slightly* less good.
@@Nicamon The only issue I find in The Lion King 2 is that the basic set-up is invented out of bullshit. Scar never had a selected heir or a band of loyalists. And it doesn't make sense that he even would because we see the pride *going hungry* under him. Unless you wanna say he had a Secret Plan B if the hyenas didn't work but that's still just invented bullshit.
Its entire premise being bullshit aside though, it's only a little less good. And it taught me the word 'exile' which is cool.
@@voridori2863 Yeah,that is true. I thought the same the 1st time I saw the movie. I guess I came to accept it because I liked the movie itself and so I was able to forgive its weak premise eventually. But you're totally right. Another thing I thought was this:Zira said that Kovu was born just before Simba banished her and the other Outlanders so *how is it possible* that Scar made Kovu his heir *if he wasn't even born yet?* He was just like:"OK,Nuka is weak,stupid and useless so whenever you give birth to the next male lion,he's gonna be my heir."to Zira?Mmhh...unlikely....:-/

"It's never addressed what happens after this!"
Actually, and I hate to defend this movie, it is in the scene prior. Mushu DOES tell the emperor guy that the alliance shall happen anyway.
Thank you for clarifying, it's been a long while since I watched that movie and I only saw it that one time so I didn't really remember how they handwaved it.
Still I kind of agree with NC on how the plot doesn't quite add up. As I remember it I think it would have been better with lower international stakes (no huns, or at least n immediately imminent huns), just an escort mission where the emperor needs someone reliable to guard the princesses on their way to the arranged marriage, let Mulan and her bf have a fight on their own merits (even good couples can have bad fights without dragon involvement) and then wrap it up more or less like it was. It still wouldn't be a great movie but it would have been a little less frustrating.
That’s no excuse to exclude all the action. I wanted to see the two armies fight and beat the Huns, BUT NO!
I actually like Cinderella 3 better than Cinderella, just saying by far my favorite Disney sequel
Same.
I kinda agree.
There's really no argument. Cinderella is a classic and staple of Disney History, but it's a product of Disney's step into the Princess fairy tales. Cinderella 3 does what very little of the sequels did (including C2) and expanded upon her character, giving her things to do and making her WORK for her fairy tale ending.
Really I hated that movie
I had never watched the first Cinderella until like 4 years ago and I always watched the third one. I honestly remember thinking as a kid “why are they turning back time.” Because I always thought it was the original. And honestly I love the third so much more than the original because of that😂
"It's Ursela's Crazy Sister!"
That's all I remember from Little Mermaid II.
A lot of work went into this. I enjoy watching Doug review all these.
I feel like Cinderella didn't need an arc in A Twist in Time because she's already had two(?). Anastasia was the character arc-driven focus, so she had the most development. Cinderella was the one meant to guide her to that.
Ariel's Beginning is just like Coco with a girl, only Coco was....what do you call it? Good!
The shade is real
@@miagaibor lol
It’s more like Footloose but with singing
@Sabrina Crippen Finloose
Lol but ngl I found it better than little mermaid 2 ;-;
Critic stop it stop saying you were too old you're never too old for Disney ever I will be 90 still watching Disney cuz you're never too old for Disney so stop it LOL
GataNecia you tell him
I had the little mermaid ll on vhs as a kid and i loved it, must have watched it over 30 times. I really wanna watch it again now to see if it holds up for me
Fun fact about the deer call in Bambi 2 : Back in the day they'd actually use parts of the deer to make that noise so he very well could've been listening to the deceased voice of his Mother being used as a tool.
0:33 I'm sorry but the idea that Scar had a son just...
*shudders*
THE LION KING II SIMBA'S PRIDE MAKES NO SENSE
Queen Toad Foal oh cool that makes no sense
Trevor Strunk He’s the stepson/adoptive son?
@Queen Toad Foal Nuka is actually scars son so Kermits shudder is still valid.
@@thing1thing2themediamaniac43 What part of it are you struggling with? Other than it being pointless...
Yes, bear-baiting (as it was called) was an English "entertainment" back then. It involved chaining a bear down, typically by one leg or by the neck, and other animals were set on the bear to fight it (usually they used English bulldogs...a breed of dog that got their name because they were in bull-baiting, which is the same as what was done to the bears). Bear baiting was still a sport at the time Pocahontas was living in London; it was not until 1835 that baiting was prohibited by Parliament.
One of the few things that this film got right historically is that the people of London did not shun Pocahontas (who was, by that time, married to John Rolfe [it's still debated how much say she had in that arrangement] and was introduced to London society as Rebecca Rolfe) and they treated her as something of a celebrity because the Virginia Company wanted to show people that they could "convert Indians to Christianity" and the company saw an opportunity to promote further investment with the conversion of Pocahontas and her marriage to Rolfe. Ofc, like Disney's first version of Pocahontas, they left out a lot of the "messy" details like the fact that Pocahontas was captured at the age of 17 by English settlers and held captive for a year, during which time she (supposedly) became a Christian, was baptised "Rebecca" and married Rolfe a year later. She also died at the age of 21, most likely from some illness contracted in London.
But hey, those kinds of facts get in the way of telling good stories...and mediocre ones, like this film.
That's fascinating and also horrible
I think we can all agree how horrible Pocahontas 2 was completely horrifying except Where Do I Go. Disney screwed up so bad by making it more historically correct instead of just sticking with their own story.
For some reason I've watched all of the Tinkerbell movies. They weren't great, but I really liked them somehow. I hope you review them at some point :)
I think they're pretty great ☺
Legend of the neverbeast is still one of my favourite movies to date
Those movies are a great example of good but not extraordinary movies, there´s nothing to complain and for direct to dvd movies are worth the price
@@11shiroineko I agree for the most part but I will argue that the Legend of the Neverbeast is an extraordinary movie, because it helps kids to get through some really tough and rarely touched on topics. Also, the soundtrack OMG
@@carrieon2912 Yes Legend of Neverbeast has the best soundtrack
I’d rather watch most of these than the Disney live action remakes hell I love
Return to neverland (yes I know it was released to theatres but you get the idea)
Cinderella 3 (and maybe Cinderella 2 shut up)
Lion king 2
Aladdin and the king of thieves
Leroy and stitch
Beauty and the beast magical Christmas (because of Tim curry)
102 Dalmatians patches London adventure
Lion king 1 1/2
Kronks new groove
Not all of them are good but again there better than blank expressionless lions and autotuning Emma Watson stop with the Disney remakes
Please tell me how many real lions have made emotion-filled expressions. And autotune isn't always bad.
Stop making excuses to hate the live-action remakes. It's childish.
Brianna Chiavetta I can hate on them all I want they’re same fucking movie as their animated counterparts like why am I gonna go watch a live action version of something that’s been done already and done better like you got Sony breaking new ground with into the spiderverse combination of cg and hand drawn animation with a story with characters I legitimately give a shit about and want to see more of miles journey of becoming Spider-Man is more interesting and compelling than Disney repeating what they did years ago hell simba having a daughter and Jane going to neverland to experience what child like fun is all about is more interesting then scar bitch smacking Mufasa to his death if there people out there who like em fine by all means I’m in no position to force you to hate them but people like me can have our opinions about these live action remakes and I honest to god hate them for sheer form of laziness
Brianna Chiavetta bruh it there opinion let them be ;-;
The lilo and stitch stuff were the only ones I think were given real love, those felt very different from most of the sequels, ok stich has a glitch was the exception, but i enjoy the series alot.
@@Emisop literally look up "lion smiling" on google and you can see how much more emotion are in these REAL lions than in the animated movie lmao. even the lion from Narnia does it better.
The Alladin King of Thieves review is honestly missing some marks, as if Doug didn't listen to the dialogues closely. Firstly, the father did return for his son and wife after obtaining wealth, but he couldn't find them. Why and how, that's a weak point, but still, he tried to return and failed. So, when he discovered he still had a son, he was understandably confused: he was a thief for ten-something years, and he didn't find himself in a role of a father. He in fact got tricked into going to the wedding by Iago, who wanted to find the treasue himself. And then, he fails to actually recover the scepter: its done by the bad guy instead, who then kidnaps him and forces him to find the treasure for him. This forces Alladin to go and rescue him: Alladin didn't want to find the treasure, he just wanted to rescue his father. Then, they took the treasure: they were already there, on this super elusive island, so might as well try: father son bonding time. However at this point daddo learned his lesson and decided he cares for his son more (probably because the damn son travelled half the world to rescue him). The plot and motivations made sense. And that they could have been clearer at times? Fair point: I just wanted to point out that everything WAS explained.
Agreed. While a little weak (which is probably why Doug missed it in the first place), the writing is there.
A good callout, I noticed that too. Doug acted like this film did not show or explain anything. This was good sequel honestly. Do not sleep on King of Thieves .
Tbh I loved the Little Mermaid 2, and I still love it (most likely for nostalgia reasons)
I just remember as a kid always enjoying it and seeing that magical underwater world come to life again.
Yeah, it’s flawed in quite a lot of places, but I still think it’s cute and charming.
I liked the TV show about"The Little Mermaid"but the movie sequels I've found them all pretty boring and forgettable. :-/
MY GOD CRITIC, my god, the effort you put in
That scene in Bambi 2 with the hunter calling him scared the crap out of me as a kid. Hell, even now it’s somewhat unsettling.
Really great creepy idea for sure
I feel like it needs to be mentioned that Zira in Lion King 2 was voiced by the same woman who played Annie Hayworth in The Birds and voiced Yubaba in the English dub of Spirited Away
Doug, we DO appreciate what you go through on our behalf...............but you DO understand why we must ask you to, well, you know.....
The Lion King 2 was probably thr best disney sequel out there😄👌
What about an extremely goofy movie
Deathslinger 915 that too
@@BugsyFoga that's what I thought i mean how can you get forget a extremely goofy movie its as good as the original after all
You forgot 1 and a 1/2. I say that in all seriousness
Wasn’t Cinderella 3 meant to be really good too?? 🤔I haven’t seen it, but the critic loved that and the 101 Dalmatians animated sequel patch’s adventure was it??
"Why do people think there needs to be more than happily ever after?"
The reason is that the corporation's happily ever after is just more money.
And that was even more so with one Michael Eisner in charge of the Disney conglomerate. While his era started well with the introduction of Touchstone pictures, the label of the more mature themed films they made such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and introduced Jeffrey Katzenberg to Feature Animation that he may have a hand in jump starting a Renaissance (which he would), but his decision making skills began to take a turn for the worse when his No. 2, Frank Wells, died in a helicopter accident and despite having kindled a great working relationship with Katzenberg at Paramount prior to the two jumping ship to Disney (thereby proving his capabilities), Eisner denied the man the promotion he showed some interest in prior to the seat going free. Who knows what Disney would look like if he agreed, but his decision would make Katzenberg his worst enemy. In time, I will go into the consequences of this.
Well I like it if they do it right. As a kid, one thing that bothered me about Disney movies was I was always wondering why they never showed what happened after marriage or hooking up the main couple. As an adult now I can appreciate the value in movies about how to make a relationship work. It's not bad in and of itself to explore the possibilities beyond the "happily ever after" ending.
To continue, Katzenberg left Disney just six months after being denied the promotion and the first thing he did once that was over was to start a new studio, DreamWorks. The parting was not a happy one. Between five years of lawsuits over the severance package and insults from Eisner including the phrase "little midget", you can see his motivation is revenge. As such, he wasted no time in producing controversy with the first animation to come out of the studio, Antz in 1998. I'll let you guess why accusations began to fly shortly thereafter
Lion king 1/2 is so good. Don’t sleep on it. Such a good movie. Hilarious.
Love that movie 😁
Yessir
Really? I found it kinda meh compared to the first two.
My family during Movie night watch BOTH Bambi movies at the same time. We basically put the dvd second movie in and the vhs tape in the player and switch between the two to make one big long movie. It's honestly surprising how well they flow together actually. It took us some practice, but damn was it worth it.
I know it's kinda odd, but I say try it because instead of seeing them as two movies about the same story. One trying to be better then the other and whatnot. When you play them both. Instead it's like I said before. One long movie.
But Aladdins dad said he went back and couldn't find his wife or son.... just sayin
Yeah, I was thinking that too. It was a line just thrown out there. However, how long did Kassim look? I was never sure if Aladdin was in the same home that he always was in, or just moved around whenever the guards found him. Since he still had tattered drapes, pillows, and even a secret storage area. Did Kassim just check the house that his family was last in? He didn't bother asking the merchants "Hey, where is my family?" I mean....the townspeople KNEW who Aladdin was. So....one could argue that, he did go back and look, but probably not very well. Maybe the call of adventure had such a grip on him, that he didn't focus on as much as went back to look for his conscience sake.
But that also makes his motivation weird, once he found his son and knew he was doing well, why look for the same treasure you supposedly wanted to take of them with, as Doug said why not live in the palace. But he strangely still goes after the treasure. Obsession i think so
You really should think about doing a review of the Tinkerbell squeals.
My daughter would watch these things all the time. Her entire room was covered in Tinkerbell, and I thought I was going to go crazy from the first two playing over and over, but every time a new sequel came out it was better than the last.
If I had to pick only one it would be Neverbeast. Tinkerbell isn't really the focus, but its so funny, has beautiful environments and you're kinda a monster if you don't tear up at the end.
I know that I liked the Tinker Bell movies
The Tinker Bell Movies have a special place in my heart because I watches the movies with my younger cousins and we bounded over it.
I'll take the direct-to-video Disney sequels over the live action remakes...
ZC-Infinity which you haven’t seen yet.
@@MintyCoffee clearly he hasn't. I hold B&B in high regards (even as far as being chip in a performance of the broadway version in high school -- we got the greenlight from disney), yet the live action version I probably love more. There's just more heart and soul in it -- Josh Gad as Lefou bribing bar patrons to play along rather than just calling them all drips - what i can only think is supposed to be a child friendly way of saying a derogatory term - is just the best thing ever for starters. To think that's Emma Watson as Belle....Hermione grew up fast.
Orrrr... he's entitled to his opinion.
@@zingzaber6989 Well his opinion is trash I'd take every single remake over less quality animation like their sequels only Lion King 2 was brilliant for the sequels
Steven Jones at least direct to video sequels attempt to bring a new story to the audience rather than being just a high budget cosplay of the original movies
...He mentioned "The Thief" in the first direct to DVD review and my brain went
"Oh! I remember Abis Mal!"
Then I took a moment to realize something...
"Wait a MINUTE! That's a PUN!"
It took me until the age of 29 to realize his name was a PUN. I need my adult card revoked.
I didn’t realize it until I read your comment and even then it took me a minute to fully get it, I just got off a long day at work. I guess we both got to get our adult cards revoked
I can see why Return to Neverland, The Jungle Book 2 and Beauty and the Beast the Enchanted Christmas are not on here for two reasons.
1. Return to Neverland and Jungle Book 2 were theatrical releases.
2. He already did a Disneycember review on them back in 2015, while he Disneycember review on all of these movies in 2016.
ima say that Bambi 2 is easily one of the top 10 best direct to DVD Disney movies
I totally agree! I still watch that movie today and find myself laughing and crying at it! Heck I’ll watch them both back to back sometimes pausing the middle of the first movie to watch the second! I loved the father he was so relatable having grown up with a dad in the military. Bambi’s father was strict but not in an unloving way but in a very understanding way; and when he has to make a decision about keeping Bambi or giving him a new mother, it breaks my heart. I don’t know, I could talk forever about this movie, I almost enjoy it more than the first because it tells a complete story with so many characters, and the original while having a great story, didn’t give many characters fleshing out. I love this movie and will defend it til I die.
And...I’ll get off my soapbox now 😶
Seriously, I don't think he gave it enough credit tbh.
Hahahah no
The Tinker Bell movies are my favorites. I loved having the Tinker Bell movies themed birthday party when it first came out. I also enjoyed The Little Mermaid 2, Cinderella 2 and 3, Return to Neverland, and Pocahontas 2 a lot. :)
20:05 yeah, bear torture was a thing back then. For some reason.
People were bored asf before television
Return of Jafar was one of my favorite sequels because Iago was my favorite Disney character of all time. When I was a little kid, I had an obsession with birds (they're still my favorite animals!) and especially parrots. Because of that, I liked Iago a lot, so I was thrilled with a whole movie about him! And you know what, sometimes I still even look up the songs he sang in that movie on youtube. I really like Forget About Love. (You're Only Second Rate was another great song.)
It was also genuinely upsetting when Aladdin was going to be put to death. It's still a little disturbing to watch even now.
I just recently saw the Tinker Bell movies on Disney+, and I fell in love with them for life!
Two things
• how did I start watching it
•why did I watch all off it
Because it was good vid
19:54 bear torture was def entertainment in the day... still is in some places... called dancing bears... they drag them around on chains by piercings in their nose and beat them to make them dance
I am watching this because i know my child mind mixed a lot of movies around when i saw these as a child. Here are some examples i found out due to this video:
- I thought the Revenge of Jafar was considered a good movie because of it's "dark tone" as i was too scared to watch it as a little child
- I really liked all the Lilo & Stitch sequals and as a child they were as good, if not better than the original because they focused more and more on weird alien stuff.
- The Lion King 1 1/2 is known outside America as The Lion King 3, and my parents presented this one and the first one as the same movie fron different perspectives, which left me like 3 - 1 1/2 more than the orginal for it's lighter tone.
As someone who gets really stressed out around Christmas and often doesn't enjoy it very much due to the stress, I absolutely LOATHE the message of "just enjoy Christmas, man". Like, yeah, I do think the least you can do is be somewhat positive about it around your loved ones, but by god, if someone needs a break from the holidays, just let them have their goddamn break. Forcing someone to love Christmas constantly and to the extreme level is only cementing the relation between stress and the holidays. Don't do that to people. Every time someone would dump Christmas down my throat when I just needed a little time away from it I would feel this resent building up in me, and I genuinely started loathing it because I couldn't escape it. Honestly, I resonate with Donald Duck needing a goddamn break from it all for a little bit.
holy crap, your not kidding. The emotion on the girl's face at 21:26 gave me chills and I haven't even watched the movie. Great emotional imagery!
