Do people who worked on the original movies ever work on the sequels (other than the cast of course)? It doesn't seem like they do and I don't understand why. Surely the sequels would be much better that way. The only reason I can think of is lower budgets, but if they can afford to get the original cast, why can't they get the original animators, composers, writers...?

Yeah I agree. If you watch the Hunchback for example, then watch the second, it's just... to me appalling. The characters were completely slaughtered! The worst to me was that one, but The Little Mermaid II wasn't that great either. :/ We all know and love Ariel as that bubbly, ambitious young mermaid! It seemed all of that energy was taken away in the second just to make her come across as more "mature".
So yeah, I believe if the original people had worked on the sequels, there's a possibility they could have been MUCH better. Because if you look at Toy Story II, the characters stayed the same, not to make that sound boring, because that's not what I mean. I mean they kept that same glow they had in the original. I looked it up and it says that John Lasseter directed both of them, so there you go. ;P
Anyway that's me ranting and rambling. I just get sort of worked up talking about the sequels, because the originals were so timeless and fresh! But now when I watch them, all I can really think about is what happens in the second... or in Cinderella's case the third. To me it sort of takes away from the magic the originals captured so well. But again, sometimes, if approached correctly, the outcome can be great! (Toy Story).

Well,i don't know if anyone noticed,but those sequels (or cheapquels) arn't really movies,they're like... a TV episodes or something,they're never actual films.
And i don't think Ariel is bubbly at all.

I think the studio that animates the animated TV shows animates the sequels. There have only been a few sequels I can even stand watching because the others animation is so bad. Luckily the past few sequels that have been released are OK, animation wise...

I don't know about the other movies but I know that John Musker and Ron Clements had nothing to do with the Little Mermaid 2-3.

Budget would be my first guess, too. If they were offered the chance, it's possible they turned it down for personal reasons of not wanting to work on a project they know will be nothing like the original.

See, to me, that's not a very good reason. Sure, it may not be as good as the original, but it is worth a shot, and if you DON'T work on it, then it's already a given that it won't be as good. If these people truly loved their work on the movies they did, I don't see why they wouldn't stick around for future movies. I know if I worked on TLM, I would try my best to have worked on TLM II and TLM: Ariels' Beginning. |

If I were in their position I would have tried to work on both sequels, too. I mean even a few of the same crew would have made a difference for the better. I'm so glad Jodi has stuck with TLM thru the years.

That, IMO, would've been the final nail in the coffin, if she stopped doing Ariel. Having someone else do Ariels' voice is a huge no-no in my book.
But, what would've been the reasons for them to have not worked on the other two TLM movies? I don't get it, unless there's an official answer somewhere.
