Disney Sequels You May Not Have Known About Now On Disney+
We like the thinking of the team over at PopSugar. They shared some Memorial Day Weekend Disney+ viewing that may be slightly under the radar. In the 80s and 90s, the Disney juggernaut had a trend of sending sequels to some of your favorite Disney animated films straight to video.
However, Disney has dipped into the back catalogue for their streaming network and many of these films can now be found on DIsney+. With that in mind, here’s a list of some films you may not have known about. Each of the films below is perfect for Memorial Day viewing so make the popcorn and let’s get watching.
The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride (1998)
Aladdin and the King of Thieves (1996)
An Extremely Goofy Movie (2000)
Brother Bear 2 (2006)
Let’s put the sequel aside for a minute and say that you may not have heard of the original Brother Bear film, let alone its following. If that’s the case then make that your weekend project because both films are brilliant. The films follow a boy named Kenai who is turned into a bear and must walk in another’s footsteps until he learns a valuable life lesson.
In the sequel, Kenai is voiced by Patrick Dempsey who along with Koda (Jeremey Suarez) finds that his childhood girlfriends Nita (voiced by Mandy Moore) is about to get married despite being bonded with Kenai. A highlight of the film is moose brothers Rutt and Tuke voiced by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas who in the sequel are trying to woo to female moose voice by Andrea Martin and Catherine O’Hara.
Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World (1998)
I’m including this one though I find it to be one of Disney’s more curious sequels. Pocahontas travels across the ocean in the hope of negotiating peace between Jamestown and the Native Americans. The love story between her and smith is abandoned in favor of a story that has her struggle to deal with British society. However, there are some good songs here. If if you didn’t know the sequel existed, you’ve probably heard the song “Where Do I Go From Here” made better by the fact that Judy Kuhn returned as the singing voice of Pocahontas.
The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea (2000)
This is a popular film with my 10-year-old. It follows up with Ariel who is now a mom to a daughter named Melody who feels a connection to the water. The baddie in this film is Ursula’s sister Morgana who when Melody makes her way to the sea devises an evil plan to use Ariel and Prince Eric’s daughter to overthrow King Triton.
The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea is currently available to watch on Disney+.
