I’m also of that rare ilk. Frozen 2 swung a bit too high and Moana 2 a bit too low… but I liked them both way more than the consensus would dictate on this forum. I think there’s some good groundwork laid for their future sequels and don’t think they are rushing out too many In those respective franchises. 7 and 8 years are full childhoods.

FWIW, although the first Moana certainly got more critical acclaim than the recent sequel, audience reaction seems to be just fine. As an example, the audience score on RT only dropped from 89% to 86% between the two. Likewise, Frozen II actually has a considerably higher score (85% vs 92%) than the first one -- I happen to agree with that one, too. I don't really get all of the displeasure focused on both sequels here on this forum, and it seems as though the public doesn't really agree with it either.

As of now, Frozen 2 and Moana 2 haven’t seemingly derailed their predecessors. They still are very strong on streaming. Though I agree, there always exists a real risk of brand damage. I think we’ve tended to see that most often in the TV realm.

True, to a point. WDAS has done precious few theatrically released sequels. Of those sequels, the only ones that seem to have been better recieved from a critical standpoint are Rescuers Down Under and Ralph Breaks the Internet (RT comparisons). While sequels may make more money, if the brand is diminished that causes problems long term for those properties.

Whether the movie sucks or not (and it is pretty bad), it is the money that counts here.

Watched this on the plane yesterday, what a horrible mess of a film. I don't even know where to begin. Just horribly sloppy along the lines of Lightyear and Strange World. Bad music, messy story, no character development. Like Disney animation, a big mess.
