[quote="AladdinFan92"]I've noticed that a lot of people on this site don't seem to like Disney sequels,and I've heard people make some very good arguments on the subject. But doesn't anyone here [i]like[/i] sequels? Are they really that horrible?

Let's think about this.What are the elements of sequels that you hate? The main one I hear about is next generation sequels.For me,it was always a thrill to see characters that had a little of each of their parents,since there were usually qualities in their parents that I loved. Yes,I know it can take away from the original characters,but what happens when the parents still play a major role,like in TLK 2? Or in fanfiction? Are you going to reject all next generation fanfiction and films based purely on that?

Also,people complain that a lot of cliches are used. So what? Did it ever occur to anyone that there's a [i]reason[/i] why these cliches work? Did anyone ever stop to think that a lot of Disney movies,even Aladdin,were chock full of them? For example:

Almost all Disney movies have the idea of two worlds coming together. Streetrat and princess, apeman and British snot, Indian and English settler.You name it,they've done it.

The idea that "true love conquers all". A beautiful theme,but it's been used in every,and I mean EVERY Disney film.

The storylines may change,but these cliches are in pretty much all the classic Disney films.If you love it so much in the first movie, why do you hate it in the sequel?[/quote]
