[quote="Elton John"]Flip, a problem with your transformers comparison is that tlk 2019 got good audience scores while Transformers didn’t.
And while tlk2 isn’t super duper well known I wouldn’t exactly call it obscure either. Its like, the highest selling direct to video movie (or at least in the top 5) last time I checked, Plus if they can get back at least Donald Glover and Beyonce, maybe bring back some more star power, like real star power. Stars with cult like fan bases.... it could bring in new fans maybe? Dunno.
I mean they were already talking about making Aladdin 2019 sequels and the two Aladdin dtv sequels aren’t exactly well known and Aladdin made half a billion less than tlk at the box office.
But I do think that if Mulan next year bombs badly Disney is going to play it safe-er for quite a while. Mulan 1998 is a beloved movie but it didn’t set the box office on fire like batb, aladdin, and tlk did years earlier so I dunno why Disney thinks this one needs ludicruosly massive budget....[/quote]
Yes from the news I saw back then, TLK2 was the highest selling direct to video release from Disney with tons of merch at the Disney Store, McD and toy companies. Donald Glover, Beyonce, Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen all said they'd want to be back if a live action sequel is in the works. I'd be curious if Disney will go a different route with the sequel or if it'll be "Simba's Pride". Hopefully "Mulan" does well at the box office.
