So, you've heard about the new movie, called Rocky Balboa?

WHAT?! He's to old now!!!

I thought it was going to be called 'Rocky VI".

I think Rocky Balboa is the purest form of "Why?" sequel. It's more than twenty years after the last movie, which was utterly horrible. And since it stars his son, it'll most likely end up in the same category as drivel like Young Indiana Jones and James Bond Junior.

3 ninjas was the best, until number, I don't know.

It stars Sylvester Stallone. What are you talking about?

Hey, I didn't the Young Indiana Jones was ALL that bad. And I saw that preview. That seemed wierd. And when they made a friggin Cinderella 2 and a Bambi 2. Bambi 2 is 64 years after the original!!! And Cinderella 2 is 52 years after the original.

I feel your pain, pt, why make a sequel for a movie that's long gone?!

Funny. The only two DIsney sequels I can think of that weren't direct-to-DVD were Return to Neverland and The Jungle Book 2. I wonder why....

"Rescuers Down Under" was a theatical sequel to "The Rescuers". Since it was a flop they decided to make most animated sequels straight to DVD.

I agree with pt_peach on the 50 year old sequel thing. Why??? Do they just say..."Hey, while we are waiting for our next big picture, let's rehash one of our classics and ruin it with a sequel!?" Honestly, you never take a great film which told its story in full and make a sequel out of it! The only exception is if you can come up with a grand, million dollar plot that's sure to guarantee a blockbuster. These people have too much time on their hands.

Another issue is the millions of sequels they've made about the "Land Before Time" series. I loved the first sequel, and the second, but now they've made about 10 of them. Another question I pose is why the heck would they make two sequels to An American Tail: Fievel Goes West 10 years after it's original release date?

Read BP's post and find out!

Ah. This is why Disney never releases their live action shows onto DVD. A full season of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody will end up costing a guy about a hundred bucks at that rate.

Ah yes, the useless American Tail sequels. I hate 'em. And to think, the first one was kick-awesome.
