Disney/Pixar In General

Jaq has a girlfriend in the second Cindy film, can't remember if she was in the first one. Stitch meets Experiment 624 aka "Angel" in the TV show.

Other than Woody and Pocahontas, is there any Disney lead who loses their original love interest in sequels?

People say that Quasi getting a girlfriend in the sequel was unnecessary. So it may be better off to not make a sequel just to romantically pair someone who doesn't have a love interest at the end of their original movie with another person. Bernard and Bianca are exceptions, however, seeing how The Rescuers Down Under is the only sequel (asides from Fantasia 2000) to officially be part of the Canon, and seeing how much they've been through together in the first movie.

Good catch there.

There's also 2011's Winnie The Pooh.

True, there are two Winnie-the-Pooh movies in the Canon, but I don't know if the second is connected with the first.

I assume they are more connected than both Fantasia movies are to each other.

The Three Caballeros might also count as sort of a sequel to Saludos Amigos, since Jose and Donald met in the later and then went to meet Panchito in the former.

@2902: Max Goof.

No explanation was given but he definitely seems flirty enough that break-up seems more likely than long-distance. (And it should go without saying that HOM is not canon, though the jury's out on MTUAC).

HOM is House of Mouse, right? I don't think I've ever seen any of them, although I thought I noticed a few of them on Netflix. Did MTUAC (Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas) also pop up there?

Why bother abbreviating something if you're just gonna spell it out right next to the abbreviation?

I was trying to find out what those acronyms meant, and I kinda hoped that they would be clear. Like, BATB, TRDU, TLK, shouldn't be hard to decipher, which I had to do with the aforementioned two titles.

Oh, yeah, that's what I meant, sorry. That parenthetical comment was mainly aimed at people who were familiar with Max's sub-mythology (who would have a very narrow list of works to choose from), but I didn't make it readable enough for those who weren't, or perhaps make it clear enough I was still talking about Max, and for that I apologize.

I'm honestly surprised Rapunzel isn't on the list, with a whole bunch of branches and twigs stuck in her hair.

EDIT: Dang it, meant to post this on the General Princesses thread.

Okay, I know there are some occasional problematic elements in the character designs Disney uses for its leading ladies, but... hair? Is anyone seriously taking issue with the way their hair looks? Even for me, that seems like reaching.

I don't think it's making any larger point. Just that it looks funny.

Not to interrupt these wonderful conversations, but after remembering that post I made earlier about the Universal Oswald the Lucky Rabbit toons, I wonder:

Has anyone seen the Universal Oswald cartoons?

I don't have an issue with hair design (especially Merida). I guess they just like to add a bit of variation among the leading ladies, you know, also including the outfits and whatnot.

And no, I haven't seen the Oswald cartoons.

It's sort of interesting the character with the biggest presence in the Disney Animated Canon happens to be... Donald (Saludos Amigos, The Three Caballeros, Melody Time, Fun and Fancy Free, Fantasia 2000). Five ones! And Jose of all people ranks second with three (SA, TTC, MT)! Even Mickey only gets two (Fantasia, Fun and Fancy Free) and that leaves him at the same level as Bernard, Miss Bianca, and the Winnie the Pooh cast.

Actually, Mickey gets three too. He is in Fantasia 2000, after all.

I thought of that one, but I'm not too sure it counts, since it's just re-used material from the first movie and no new footage.

There's some new stuff with Mickey in Fantasia 2000. The whole skit with James Levine and trying to find Donald for the Noah's Ark segment.

You're right. I had forgotten most of the linking segments between the shorts themselves. Thanks.

I used to watch Fantasia 2000 a lot during my childhood. I was in my early teenaged years when I watched the original Fantasia for the first time, and I think I watched it 3 times over the course of my life already. Looking at the design of both movies, it's pretty easy to tell that 2000 will appeal to younger audiences, while the original, despite having a G rating, will please older audiences. If you have Netflix, both movies are on there.

And of course in 2000, Donald (or Daisy?) was taking a shower when Mickey was looking for him...speaking of Daisy, where does she appear in apart from 2000?

It was Donald taking a shower in one of the connecting segments.

Daisy starred with Donald in the Pomp and Circumstance number in 2000, but other than that, I don't really know. Maybe she was in one of the compilation movies?

Goofy had a couple of Toon Studios movies, and he was naturally in Mickey in the Beanstalk. But Daisy had so far only the one appearnce and Minnie had none. They are both in the longer Disney features The three Musketeers and Mickey's Christmas Carol (though Daisy's role in this one is a little bit odd).

Edit: I just remember: Daisy is in the short with the crazy bird and I think it is one of the package movies, but I might be wrong there.

I have only seen fragments of both Fantasias in middle school music class.

And no, I have not seen any Oswald cartoon.
