- Doug (vo): Well, every Disneycember, we try to look at the best that Disney has to offer. This year, we're gonna go the opposite route. If you're younger, you might have noticed all these sequels that seem to pop up to popular Disney films that don't really seem to be as good. This is because as hand-drawn films were starting to phase out and CG films were starting to phase in, Disney didn't always have a lot to do for their hand-drawn department, at least, nothing that made them much a profit.

For whatever reason, kids just loved to see what was gonna happen next in these movies that really didn't need any continuing stories. And they got a reputation pretty fast of being the worst. You na

However, that seemed to change, though not necessarily for the best, with the direct-to-DVD sequels. For whatever reason, kids just loved to see what was gonna happen next in these movies that really didn't need any continuing stories. And they got a reputation pretty fast of being the worst. You name it. Lion King, Aladdin, Pocahontas, even The Hunchback of Notre Dame got a sequel. As they seemed to make more and more money, they pushed them up faster and faster, and...well, they have a reputation for being some of Disney's worst material in recent years. For a long time, people have been asking me to look these over and, by God, I didn't want to. But you know what? I'm an optimist. And I'm gonna hold out that there's at least one, just one, good sequel out there. Is it a fool's wish? Maybe. But I'm determined to get through all of them to see if they're as bad as everybody says they are. I get a feeling they're right, but I should judge for myself. Even though there's surprisingly enough films to almost fill the entire month, there's still one or two that I have available yet. So I'll fill those in with not sequels, but still direct-to-DVD movies that they made. Is there somewhere a diamond in the rough to be found? Well, all through the month of December, I'm gonna find out. Because you demanded it, this is Disneycember: Direct-to-DVD Sequels. (Sighs) I hope you appreciate what I do for you. Doug (vo): So let's go to where this all started. I remember I got the VHS of Fox and the Hound, and as soon as you opened it up, there was a little pamphlet that said "one of the greatest villains was coming back". You open it up and you saw Disney's The Return of Jafar. Holy smokes. To a little kid, this was amazing. Aladdin was one of the biggest films that ever came out at that time, and Disney never really did any sequels apart from The Rescuers Down Under. So we were beyond excited to see another Aladdin movie on the big screen. As more time went by, though, we realized it wasn't going to be on the big screen, it was going to be direct-to-VHS. Well, okay. It was still an Aladdin sequel, and it was done by Disney. It still has to be pretty good, right? Doug (vo): Well, then we saw the trailer for it and...man, there was a serious downgrade. It was pretty obvious from the first frame what this was. This was Disney trying to cash in on a popular movie, which they've done before, but not usually with a sequel, and not usually with such a difference in animation. So, yeah, the hype died down pretty quickly, but we were still kind of interested in seeing it. After all, it was Aladdin, and we wanted to know what evil scheme Jafar had up his sleeve.
