But Wreck-It Ralph? That film was merely a solid hit in a sea of solid hits. I get the "Okay, but only this once!" exception for Frozen. That's not a bad thing per se, but one of the things that made Walt Disney unique is that they didn't generally make theatrical sequels to their animated features. It's one thing to make Frozen 2, which grossed $1.2 billion worldwide, became a bazillion-dollar merchandising juggernaut, and cemented Walt Disney Animation's glorious comeback while becoming a cultural touchstone. So now, in light of this announcement, will we be seeing Walt Disney acting in a more conventional manner in regards to their animated films? Will a hit film become a hit franchise?

Or, if you don't count that one, it's their first such sequel since The Rescuers Down Under back in 1990 ( Peter Pan: Return to Neverland and The Jungle Book 2 were intended as direct-to-DVD features, as was the original Planes). So it wasn't a mega-smash ( Brave made $538m that year whileĭreamWorks Animation' s Madagascar 3 earned $746m worldwide that same year) but it was pretty solid for a non-Pixar Disney animated feature at that point in time.Īnd now, assuming it comes out before the yet-to-be-dated Frozen 2, it will be Walt Disney's first intentional theatrical sequel to an intentional theatrical original since Fantasia 2000. The film opened with $49 million in November of 2012, the biggest ever for a Disney toon release at the time, and eventually went on to earn $189m domestic and $471m worldwide on a $165m budget. With many more game worlds to explore and a new Disney princess (spoiler, I guess) to monetize, it's as sequel-friendly as anything Disney has put out over the last decade or so. My issues with the ending notwithstanding (a kind of "accept your lot in life" moral), it was thoughtful, colorful, and was certainly something outside of what constituted a Disney cartoon at the time. The well-liked and mostly well-reviewed toon, about a video game villain who didn't want to be a bad guy and didn't want to be treated like a pariah, had its charms. Wreck-It Ralph was one of the big Disney animated films on the way to their second Waking Sleeping Beauty-ish comeback that included The Princess and the Frog and Tangled.
