Disney Studios- Top Ten sequels or reboots needed



Some films just need a sequel and some need a reboot...I know that sequels and reboots are usually worse than their predecessors, but we still need these characters or franchises. As such, I propose the top ten stories in need of film sequels or reboots. This list does not include any films that are already in development.

Honorable mentions-

- Enchanted. I know that the sequel Disenchanted is "in the works", but until we see something concrete then it goes on the list.

- Haunted Mansion. Again, I know the Guillermo Del Toro reboot is in the works, but haven't seen anything yet. This franchise is ripe for a good film with a fresh take.

- Honey I shrunk the Kids. This is a fun film idea and the original is not quite a classic, but is very dated. Could be a good reboot.

- Saludos Amigos/Three Caballeros. Though this is a pretty thin franchise, there is certainly potential to revive the characters including Jose and Panchito.

10. Winnie the Pooh- The 2011 sequel was pretty weak, but the franchise is too beloved to let it slip to merely merchandise.

9. The Muppets- The 2011 sequel was a great reboot, but the 2014 sequel was fairly weak. Let's keep regular appearances of the Muppets going.

8. Aladdin- Aladdin is a bit of a sacred cow for the company, but there is certainly room and potential stories for a sequel...the question is will people go see it without Robin Williams?

7. Inside Out- This 2015 film was a new and fresh hit and is probably the most recent film that deserves a sequel in itself.

6. National Treasure- The 2004 film was fun and exciting. The sequel was pretty weak, but this franchise is the modern day equivalent of Indiana Jones and is also ripe to be in the parks for an attraction.

5. Ratatouille- This film left little room to further the current storyline, but we could definitely see how the restaurant will continue to run and adventures from that.

4. Davy Crockett- Can the 1950's franchise be relevant again? I believe it can. There aren't many westerns anymore an American heroes franchise could be revamped.

3. Johnny Tremain- Again, an old short lived classic, that could revive the colonial genre and American hero.

2. Homeward Bound- Kids love animals, they love their personalities, and they love their adventures.

1. Swiss Family Robinson- Reboot material! People stuck on a deserted island and surviving (and thriving) is a storyline the company has used many times in the past. Let's see this one happen again!
