Lion King vs. Lion King II. Pretty easy choice, the original takes it.

Is there any good direct to DVD Disney sequel?

I don't remember The Lion King II being...that...bad...? I mean, it certainly wasn't as grand or good as the first one and it is a very unnecessary sequel, but I do remember being kind of surprised. I don't know, maybe I was just tired of the first Lion King and I wanted something new and refreshing. Eh, whatever, first one is better.

Yeah II is actually pretty good, but not nearly as goog as I.

I'll defend II to the ends of the Earth, as I genuinely love it; it has some great songs, and it's the only D2DVD Disney sequel I even acknowledge, but the original is... the original. You can't really top it. Plus the production value for the sequel was of course lower, it could've been even better if they'd invested more money in it and released it in theaters (but that would have been taking a risk, which Disney doesn't do).
