I couldn't put up with the blabbermouth girl long enough
to get through 'Lady and the Tramp', but my nomination
for bad Disney sequel would be 'Fantasia 2000'.

Not the greatest presentation, but I can applaud the idea of trashing
these quickie-to-DVD ripoffs.

Of course "Fantasia 2000" wasn't a sequel and wasn't direct to DVD.

I saw it first on IMAX. The old IMAX with the large format film. The
Sorcerer's Apprentice portion was obviously not so high def there, but
looks fine on my blu-ray.


I don't know that 'Of course', it wasn't a sequel.

Well, IMHO, to be a sequel, it has to depend on the first one somehow.

If I write two murder mysteries with different characters the second one
isn't a sequel just because it's in the same genre and by the same author.

Is the first "Fantasia" a sequel to any number of cartoons set to classical
music?

Disney planned to do a series of Fantasia movies, updating pieces. The
setting of showing the orchestra and talking about movies is the same.

I would change "Of course", with "IMHO" in your first line quoted
above.

Well, where's the fun in making a non-categorical, non-sweeping statement?

:-)

But, to scope-down, then of course "IMHO"..

A "series" of anything does not make later elements of the series "sequels".

For instance, "The Twilight Zone" was a series but very few (zero?) episodes
were "sequels". If I wanted to tax claim my travel expenses for my
hypothetical murder mysteries, I might make them into a series like:

_Mean Streets: Toronto_
_Mean Streets: Prague_
_Mean Streets: Poughkeepsie_

etc, but assuming they still had no common characters, they still wouldn't
be sequels.

Thinking a bit more, I would say that even in the case of common characters,
entries aren't necessarily "sequels". Consider "Star Trek" (TOS). In most
cases, the episodes do not build on each other, or take past events into
account. (Those that *do* would be sequels).

For the Blu-ray, Disney seems to have replaced the Sorcerer's Apprentice
portion with the new restoration that was done by Reliance Digital (formerly
Lowry). That's why it looks so good. It looked a lot worse on the original
DVD release of "Fantasia 2000".

I hadn't seen that. But it also looked a lot worse on the big IMAX
screen.

You're right, it looked terrible on a giant IMAX screen, with extremely
large grain patterns visible. Not sure if the problem was the source
material IMAX was given, or how IMAX enlarged it (this was prior to the IMAX
DMR process), or combo of both, but it did look awful for that release.
