Failed Disney Television Series

The Walt Disney Company is known for its prestigious animated from the last seventy years. This is the same company that went against the odds and made the first feature-length animated film of all time, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". Following this film, a number of other successful animated features were made as well, including "Cinderella", "The Little Mermaid", and "The Lion King". Before his death, Walt Disney stated that he did not want any sequels to be made from his films, with the exception of Fantasia. Since then, there have been numerous sequels made, uncluding "", "Tarzan II", and "Mulan II". Some of these sequels appear to be compilation of stories that appear to be episodes of failed television series.

The stories' lengths and the poor animated quality led mean fans and critics to believe that the movie was just an excuse to premiere episodes of a failed television series.

*: This sequel appears to be a planned TV series that received the news of their cancellation while still in the writing stage. The writers had just enough time to scrap together a reason that these stories are presented in a film format- well, that is what fans think.
