Ehh, the Aladdin sequels weren't that bad, nor was Enchanted Christmas or Simba's Pride (in fact, arguably, EC was even better than the original BATB film, largely because we actually DO get a very well written villain in it [I'm sorry, but Gaston was DEFINITELY not even decently written, especially considering that stupid reprise of his, and his motives were poor even without the problems posed with how the triplets who crushed on him actually were more beautiful than Belle, either on the outside or even arguably on the inside], and Belle actually IS depicted as someone who is pure of heart in that sequel). While I wouldn't say Return to the Sea was all that good, I will state that it was definitely far superior to Ariel's Beginning. I think Pocahontas II and Hunchback II actually were crap, though I haven't actually watched them (and I must admit, from what I've read of Sarousch, he's actually even more evil than Frollo and very scarily realistic considering his treatment of Madellaine, even if he WAS poorly written in the end just like the sequel he appeared in.).

BTW, I might as well give my two cents on the film: My parents felt that Disney really shouldn't have made the film, considering that it's a high school novel and not even meant to be shown to kids. Can't say I disagree with them, really. There was also a lot of anti-Catholic stuff in there, and they frankly couldn't find anything redeeming in the film (my Dad's not even Catholic, he's Episcopalian, and my mom at the time, yet even HE noticed an extremely huge amount of anti-Catholic bias being force-fed to us in the film, to such an extent that it almost seemed as though they were pushing an agenda. Same with mom (who unlike Dad IS Catholic), and in her case, had she returned to the Church, had only just returned to it.). And quite frankly, if they really were concerned with having Claude Frollo being the worst of the worst, to highlight pure evil, they should have depicted him more like Phillipe Augustine from Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (and Somebodybends, I'm probably going to have to post a transcript onto your wall of that chapter, called "Heresy", since I know you can't watch Youtube, just so you get a good idea of just how Phillipe is even WORSE than Frollo in every way).
