Disney + (or Disney Plus) has finally officially arrived in today Italy, and is ready to thrill and move us with its extensive catalog of films, series and great classics. Surprisingly, we also find many in the catalog sequel, second or third episodes of famous animated films that made history. Did you think you knew them all? You are wrong!
Disney + Plus Italia and the unknown sequels
In the last twenty years Disney gave birth undisturbed a series of sequels a little less fortunate than the great classics we are used to. Often these are still valid feature films, with a well-structured story, but which pale in the shadow of the colossus / blockbuster that preceded them. But now the time has come to rediscover them all.
The ease with which we can use them on Disney + is really high, and the catalog at our disposal is wide. What had we been missing until now?
Let's watch them on Disney + Plus Italy
Peter Pan
Between the 1953 film and this sequel of time has passed, the "Return to Neverland" in fact comes out in 2002! Several years have passed since Wendy's return to London, she became a mother and had two children. Daughter Jane doesn't believe her mother's stories about Neverland until she finds herself catapulted into it by Captain Hook. Will she be able to gain confidence in magic and Peter Pan?
I also point out, for the little ones, some 3D animated films focused on Tinker Bell and the world of fairies: Tinker Bell, Tinker Bell and the secret of the wings, Tinker Bell and the pirate ship, Tinker Bell and the legendary creature and finally Tinker Bell and the great rescue . Yes, there are many.
Bambi
Even the cutest fawn in the world has a "sequel". In fact, it would be better to call it "midquel", as the events narrated take place in the middle of the plot of the great classic. It is an insight into the childhood of Bambi after the death of the mother, when the Great Prince of the Forest (as well as his father) takes him into foster care and protects him as he grows to a full-grown deer
Mulan
The bravest warrior in China, soon to return to cinemas with live action (who doesn't have a live action of her these days? Except me?), Has her own sequel entitled Mulan II. The story takes place right after the first episode, and deals with the future marriage between Mulan e Shang, in which a spiteful intruder Mushu who is afraid of separating from her protégé after their union.
The Lion King
A short time ago we saw his National Geographic live action documentary in cinemas, but the first Lion King dates back to 1994. However, not everyone knows that it was followed by two sequels, The Lion King II - Simba's reign, and The Lion King III - Hakuna Matata. The first is focused on Kiara, the daughter of Simba e Nala, who falls in love with Kovu, a lion raised in the herd of followers of Scar and enemies of Simba, the Forsaken, and who had been chosen by Scar as his heir. The Lion King III, on the other hand, is an atypical film: we find Timon and Pumbaa intent on reliving the first film as if they were watching it in the cinema, and expose their point of view on the story.
The little Mermaid
The stories of Ariel continue in The Little Mermaid 2 and the return to the abyss. The princess of the seas, now married to Eric, has a daughter, Melody, who is targeted by Ursula's evil sister, seeking revenge. Ariel will make the difficult decision to separate Melody from the marine kingdom, but will she succeed? 
The jungle book
Are you just a few crumbs, the bare essentials? In Mowgli yes, in fact Il libro della giungla 2 he is not happy with his new life in the village with humans, and would rather return to the jungle to his close friends Baloo and Baghera. From 1967 to 2003 for this unexpected sequel.
Aladdin
Also fresh from live action, he even has two sequels released a few years apart. The 1992 original was followed by "The return of Jafar“, In my opinion one of the most successful sequels in Disney history. It absolutely does not denature the first feature film, and it maintains the same rate of humor, twists and magic that we were used to. The title heralds the return to Agrabah of the perfidious Grand Vizier Jafar, this time in the role of a powerful evil genius. In "Aladdin and the king of thieves“Instead, we find our hero looking for this infamous character with whom he discovers he has a connection.
Among the sequels that you cannot miss, I also want to list you:
- The hunchback of notre dame 2
- Pocahontas 2, a journey into the new world
- Tarzan 2
- Red e Toby 2
- Lilo and stitch 2: what a disaster Stitch
- Koda brother bear 2
