If you're younger and you're watching this, you may notice that when you go to the video store or, hell, if you still go to any video stores, you'll see a lot of Disney sequels, like "Cinderella 2", or "The Little Mermaid 2", or "Lion King 2". The reason for this is that there was a time when hand-drawn animation was dying. I mean, okay, you could argue it's not really around much anymore, especially cinematically, but Disney was losing it big time.

Doug (vo): Most of their films were not making money, so they did a lot of direct-to-DVD sequels. And most of them were...pretty bad. Doug (vo): This is worth mentioning because one or two actually made it to the big screen. And in this case, it's "Return to Neverland", the sequel to one of Britain's most beloved children's stories. When it came out, it was panned, the critics hated it. Everybody said, "It's just another direct-to-DVD movie just thrown on the big screen, given a little bit more budget. It's a waste of time." So, that's the movie I was waiting to see, and...honestly, I don't think that's what I got. Okay, it's not great, but it was actually a little better than what I was...expecting. Kinda...sorta...
