24 Animated Sequels Nobody Asked For (And How They Turned Out)
The Nut Job 2: Sometimes They Nut…Again! hits theaters this Friday with August hopes of doing better than the original‘s 10% Tomatometer score or $64 million domestic gross. Those kinds of numbers don’t exactly light fires under investors’ coin-saddled asses, but unnecessary animated sequels have happened before! And will happen again! And now they’re the focus of this week’s gallery! From 1,001 Land Before Times to that one Pocahontas where she travels to England and wrestles unobtanium from the local savages to fund John Dunbar’s peyote habit, here’s 24 more animated sequels nobody asked for (and how they turned out).
