I'm sure somehow anyone have stumbled upon some of Disney's sequels, midquels and etc somehow. Whether it be childhood, critiquing or Disney collection. Most of the time a bad reputation run around these films due to the fact that they were produced on a much lower budget, rushed, or didn't have the same team that worked on the theatrical releases by the Disney.
However, despite many of their films were received with negativity, it really wasn't the animators or artists fault that the films turned out the way they did. Since they were instructed and given very stressful time constraints, and most of the time did try to make it look appealing for the viewer (outside of a saturday cartoon). Over time, the art and animation got better for the studios that made these films. The writing was always on the edge and felt more like a re-tread of the previous features with exception of The Tigger Movie, The Lion King 2, Bambi ll, MDG The Three Musketeers to name a few.
but enough of the history of these films and let's start with one simple question.
Is there any DTDVD from Disney that you like? If there is, you're more than welcome to share.
There's an exception of 3 that I consider above good, and some that I always include in my own take on the Disney Canon.
They are, Pooh's Most Grand Adventure :The Search For Christoper Robin: The Lion King 2 & The Tigger Movie.
The first pick is because I feel that the film holds a intriguing premise, powerful moral and it's so different from what one can expect for Winnie The Pooh. The art style and overall animation is appealing and charming enough. If you heard this quote before, then you might find the connection.
"You're Braver than you believe. Stronger than you seem & Smarter than you think"
The 2nd pick was mostly influenced by nostalgia but at the same time it also did something right by introducing a new villain and explore further into Simba's future. The art & animation is not ... too far away from being reminiscent to the previous film. It's still one of the better looking from the early days of DTDVD. Also if you were a kid and grew up with this film it would behold some happy memories.
The 3rd pick was made for many reasons. This film was released theatrically and looked even like it could be considered for a bigger budget. The saving grace is the story itself. A mature and fun tale of adoption, sense of belonging and coming of age. The relationship between Tigger & Roo is beyond charming and even the side characters are given roles that move the plot forward. It can't be said enough how stunning this film looks to be considered a DTDVD film. The style reminds that of a blend with the 1977 feature mashed-up with 1960's 101 Dalmatians.
With honourable mentions I also did enjoy these films: Scamp's Adventure, Return To Neverland, Bambi ll. I always knew that the art was looking really good in Scamp, even to this day the art is really impressive. Return To Neverland I found more investing than the 1953 feature (that's just me though). I appreciated that this Peter was more tolerable. Bambi ll had some stunning visuals and pretty interesting bond between the leads, but it was also a little too cutesy.
