Top 10 Animated Sequels


sometimes the sequel is by no means an
equal it’s not what I meant but these
animated follow-ups are fabulous in
their own right I don’t want to brag or
nut I got me a black fanbase welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 animated
sequels won’t it be nice we’ve looked at
any animated movie that is released
after its original we’re defining a
sequel as any movie made within a series
not inclusive of the first effort so we
are not narrowing the criteria to second
outings only hey this is not first class
we’re also including prequels as long as
they expand on a previous film it is on
number 10
Ice Age to the meltdown this is too hot
the ice date was too cold it may have
been billed as the meltdown but this
movie proved to have nothing but a
positive impact on the Ice Age franchise
especially when it comes to box office
numbers this global warming is killing
me
as the title would suggest this film
follows the big freeze with the thaw the
ice is melting Manny the mammoth Sid the
sloth and Diego the saber-toothed feline
are sent on another prehistoric
potentially perilous journey but this
time the unconventional plan of
characters must contend with some
unfamiliar and unusual faces what do we
populate the earth how everyone’s either
a dude or our sister along with stunning
animation le crash and Eddie and sure
things get wackier as they get warmer
Ellie don’t worry we’re going for help

Oh such a cold damn Bible in the first
movie
Fievel and his family effectively
immigrated to the United States America
what a place for their second outing the
mice think it would be nice to head west
let’s go with embarking on a traditional
American road trip of sorts their
journey allows cinema goers to see more
of their mousy ways as they scurry and
squeak towards their own American dream
if we work hard Green River will be
everything we dreamed up
they must watch out for cats though
there are natural enemies five elenco
must figure out their feline friends
from their foes if it isn’t my
diminutive friend from the Train number
seven the rescuers down under I’ll tell
you to go for ride a rare example in
which the sequel might be more famous
than the original the rescuers down
under was the second movie released as
part of the much celebrated Disney
Renaissance of the late 80s and early
90s throw another shrimp on the barbie
girls cuz here I come a film that
follows its heroes into an animated
Australia it was also a production that
bucked the trend at Disney easy easy
the company had not until that point
made a habit of making sequels but we’re
sure glad they made an exception to the
rule for the rescuers
number six monsters University Jimmy
Sullivan friends call me Solly monsters
Inc was the fourth film ever made by
Pixar and monsters University was a
sequel that fans had been screaming for
for years
say scream and thankfully this
fraternity filled follow up didn’t
disappoint let’s hear it for the frats
and sororities competing in this year’s
games of course technically we have a
prequel on our hands here as Mike and
Sulley are sent back to school you
pulled off the biggest scare this school
has ever seen it wasn’t me that was you

more fun with its monster II details and
our favorite characters are made all the
more frightening and cute when their
younger days aren’t documented welcome

helping I know I was scary I didn’t know
I was that scary yeah we’re so scary I
guess we broke it come on number five
madagascar 3 europe’s most wanted thank
you thank you after the success of the
original madagascar movie fans were a
little disappointed with the escape 2
Africa installment that followed this
crazy but the proverbial third time
lucky worked like a charm with the
release of Europe’s most wanted your
genius in this movie our animated
animals swapped the zoo for the circus
as they travel through the vast and
varied continent of Europe tell me what
conceivable way that extra-large animals
like us are gonna be able to move
through Europe without attracting
unwanted attention
with a wealth of new characters forming
friendships with the old this is a film
that gained greater critical acclaim
than its predecessors and deserved it
and that
they laughed smaller
number four Kung Fu Panda – I’m the
Dragon Warrior it’s kind of my job to
save confer having achieved his kung-fu
dreams in 2008 po the Panda returned to
our screens in 2011 to embark on another
oriental adventure unless he is stopped
this could be the end of Kung Fu but I
just got kung fu and now you must save
it this time Jack Black has a back story
as he provides the voice of PO once
again and seeks to find out more about
his family how do I say this where did I
come from
he’s still just as dangerous as he is
endangered and there are still enemies
to defeat but this sequels also about
showcasing another side to PO and his
life in the Valley of Peace he’s busy
out there protecting the valley huh the
Dragon Warrior hope number 3 Shrek 2
Shrek is the one who rescued me after
the massive success of Shrek’s debut it
was difficult to see exactly how
DreamWorks could improve upon their idea
with a sequel but they managed to do it
we’re just gonna have to come up with
something smarter that’s all by
combining our favorite phases from the
first film with an array of fresh fairy
tailers here’s an originality to this
movie as it refuses to lean on its
predecessor Puss in Boots Prince
Charming and the fairy godmother are all
awesome additions
I mean how charming can I be when I have
to pretend I’m that dreadful ogre while
the cameos are clever as ever everyone
anyone has turned out to honor Princess
Fiona and Prince Shrek
oh my the outfits look gorgeous Trek –
we salute you for five minutes
number two How to Train Your Dragon –
now let’s try this one more time in case
you hadn’t quite mastered dragon taming
at the first attempt those kindly folks
at DreamWorks Animation angled another
lesson your way in 2014
come back to me he’s not yours anymore
and what a lesson it was set five years
after hiccup and toothless United the
Vikings and Dragons of Berk the pair
sense of adventure has led them a little
further away from home toothless no
toothless all is not necessarily well
overseas however and this sequel is an
attempt to put things right a massive
commercial and critical success this

note here Andy’s at late adolescence and
times are changing once again for his
