Shrek is rubbish now, the first two were good, the third was a disappointment. And yes they're making a fourth, in fact they are planning to make at least 5!

I swear that Dreamworks is a collaborative with Disney, since I see several of their films being labelled as a Disney movie production.

Oh and I know that they're making a Madagascar 2, and possibly a Shrek 4. (I KNOW that they're Dreamworks films, but this seemed like the appropriate place to mention it)

Bah, that's all I can say! Dreamworks always copies Disney, for example:

Dreamworks Disney
Antz A Bug's life
Madagascar The Wild (Disney worked on this for 4 yrs while Dreamworks worked on Madagascar for only 2)
Small Soldiers Toy Story
EL Dorado The Emperor's New Groove

So, you see my point. Dreamworks always rushes production in their movies to beat Disney and claim that "they were the originals."

The Lion King II: Simba's Pride and Aladdin and the King of Thieves were quite good in my opinion. And Mulan II and Brother Bear II weren't that bad, but they could have been better. But the ones that I absolutely hate are Bambi II, The HB of Notre Dame II, 101 Dalmations II and The Jungle Book II, they were just appaling, I really enjoyed the first ones, especially Bambi and 101 Dalmations, the sequels were such a disappointment...... X(. Another rumoured film they are making (or were going to) is 103 Dalmations, though I'm not sure wether its a film with Glenn Close or an animated one. Please correct me if I'm wrong though.

Thank you for the clarification. I for one am glad Disney stopped making direct to video sequels just about of them sucked. I had thought that there were far miore films that had been "seqeulized". Modt of the Disney films I have at home have had sequels made.

These are all awesome, I've heard of Wall-E, Up, and Toy Story 3 before. However, WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE INCREDIBLES!? One of the writers in Pixar got interviewed and he said that there might be sequels to the Incredibles.

Spyrofriend - You're information isn't entirely correct. A lot more films DID NOT get sequels than the few you mentioned. Not every Disney film was *bleep*ed. When Pixar took over Disney animation they put a stop to all sequels in production to Disney films except for 5: Little Mermaid III and the four Tinker Bell films. Other than those, they scrapped about five other in-the-works sequels

There have been 46 released Disney animated films with four more in production:

Those are the 'canon' Disney films - the ones made at Disney's core feature animation studio. They used to be labeled as the "Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection" but with the waning quality they dropped that label.

Here is a list of all the sequels, prequels, midquels and interquels to those 50 films:

Only 20 of the canon Disney films received a sequels and/or sequels.

Films not to receive sequels were:

Planned but canceled sequels were:

Rumored but not going to happen now sequels were:

As you can see, a lot more sequels were canned because the new belief at Disney is quality, not quantity and far more films than Spyrofriend mentioned managed to remain sequel-free.

Walt Disney (while he alive) didn't do sequels. in the mid-90s Disney created crappy sequels to just about all its films, great (Bambi, the Lion King, Dumbo) decent (pocahantas) and medicore (Hunchback). Aladdin Mulan, Cinderella and now the Little Mermaid got 3 films. haven't seen any of the last 3 films' sequels. Lion King 1.5 doesn't count as 3 imo.the only films that didn't get sequels were Snow White, pinocchio, and Sleeping beauty

I don't understand what was so special about the original Cars flick and that warranting a sequel so much. But still, better that than hoping for a followup of a more powerful Pixar flick, namely Finding Nemo or Ratatouille. I have been hoping for a sequel to The Incredibles though; that had the foundations of a potential franchise that would develop strongly after the initial film was done.

Still, I hope it all goes well. My mother discussed WALL*E with me a couple of weeks back and it sounds like a big hit that Pixar will make a mark on, providing they'll continue to channel in just as much creative effort as their previous works.
