10 Terrible Straight To DVD Sequels You Probably Missed

1. Lion King 1.5

the lion king 2 This for me was the hardest film to include on the list. Acting as the second sequel in The Lion King franchise, this film follows the same story as the original, but this time from the perspective of comic double-act Timon and Pumbaa. The problem is that the film isn't THAT bad. Whether seen as an extension of the original or as a film in its own right, it is by far superior to some turkeys already mentioned on this list. For me, its greatest sin is trying to drag out the franchise as a way of earning money and cashing in on a classic movie that is a milestone in animation and the family-feature film. My personal favourite Disney feature to date, the original had charm and a heart to it. Whilst The Lion King 1.5 has the humour, it just didn€™t blow me away or come close to its predecessors. Why it€™s in the top 10: Taken a classic and squeezed out the juices to leave the pulp that no one wants and wasn't needed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZrpl277GUo
