    They were both good movies, there just weren't as many dumb people flocking to the sequel, since they all knew by now that it isn't the next Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings.

    Well remember when Toy Story came out

    then Toy Story 2

    and then everyone was all, "Oh god 3D is gonna take over animation! Us artists are out of a job!" and Pixar was all, "Hey no you're not you guys are being silly just stop making shitty movies." And Disney was agreeing with Pixar

    Then Disney got rid of their animation department

    second one was pretty good. Had much more of an epic battle feel than the first one did for some reason, I guess because it had a castle and all.

    and what the fuck does that have to do with this decision to back out of a film that probably wouldn't have made much money?

    My point is Disney backs out of a lot things that they shouldn't be afraid of.

    Also hi Dru how are you

    No, because if people start talking about more movies then the thread gets locked for being a megathread.
