More to the point, those crappy sequels have been *produced* by the TV division, or some such thing. They were *not* produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation, or whatever Uncle Walt's old studio is called nowadays. They're basically on the same level as that Buzz Lightyear: Star Command video that came out a while ago. It's a Toy Story spin-off, but it wasn't actually produced by the same people who made either Toy Story or Toy Story 2. > (Also, you missed 2002's theatrical sequel, "Return to Neverland," a > film I also would've forgotten if it hadn't been my daughter's first > trip to the theater.) :) That, too, was produced by the TV division (or whatever), as was The Jungle Book 2, The Tigger Movie, etc. However, I believe *next* year's Winnie-the-Pooh *is* being produced by the feature animation division. -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
