Recent release of Toy Story 3: Another
money grabbing Disney Sequel?

By Jenn Markham

he earliest Disney sequel
T could dig out of a
comprehensive list was

Rescuers Down Under in 1990, which
followed Rescuers. The first title
that actually included a ‘two’ was
Duck Tales 2 in 1993.1 was under
the impression that releasing sequels
happened around the same time Walt
Disney passed away, but we lost him
way back in 1966. So although I can’t
find exactly who is responsible, and
oust them as the source of this evil,
they know who they are. Disney
sequels are a money grab.

Although this isn’t a new notion,
has it ever been questioned why
they make any money at all? There
are currently three renditions of
Cinderella, on the condition they don’t
crank out another. But my question is;
who really cares about what happens
in Cinderella III? It is true that not a
single sequel was created while Walt
Disney was alive. He created the
classics and left them that way, special
memories in our childhoods.

I worry about the children who

grow up in these future generations
and opt to watch Lady and the Tramp
II instead of the original Snow White
and the 7 Dwarfs or Jungle Book.
Aren’t these originals our bare
necessities?

My favourite Disney movie
growing up was 101 Dalmatians, and I
even enjoyed the real-life version with
the same name. Now you can also add
to your collection, 101 Dalmatians II
and 102 Dalmatians, granted they’ re
not stored away in the vault. On that
notion, don’t you feel a bit bad for
the poor soul that has to keep track
of all these sequels releasing dates,
re-releasing dates and special pearl
edition releasing dates? I guess
whoever they are can just be glad
Land Before Time isn’t Disney, who
was on their 12", before they seemed
to have dropped the number with their
three other movies released in the
early two thousands.

Although I haven’t heard a bad
review of Toy Story 3 yet, it doesn’t
change the fact that they should have
left it alone at the first one and come
up with a new idea.
