The only time Disney has made sequels has been in regarding those half assed, cheaply produce craptacular home video sequels of virutally EVERY movie they ever created. Right down to Cinderella, Fox and the Hound, and Little Mermaid.
The ONLY ones i ever enjoyed were Aladdin's sequels and Lion King 2, simply because I LOVE Lion King and that was the first direct video sequel they made before they were pumped out like nerf balls. Toy Story IS getting a sequel tho.
I've heard this a couple times on movie websites, but after buying Pixar, Disney is planning to do another Toy Story sequel and as far as I know, both Tim Allen and Tom Hanks will return to play the voices of Woody and Buzz again.
I'm kinda saddened to hear this simply because that means Slinky dog will have to be recast because his voice actor Jim Varney (R.I.P.
) died years ago. I know he wasn't a major character in the film series but I still liked him alot.
Last I heard, the "original version" of the plot was supposed to be about a toy recall on all the Buzz Lightyear dolls because of some kind of defect. As such, Buzz is taken back to Japan where he was made and the toys have to go to Japan to get him back and meet LOTS of weird new toys along the way.
