Several have been crap crap crap. Like The Lion King 2 or Kronk's New Groove.
There's a lot of people who think those two movies are examples of decent straight-to-video movies. When talking about "crap crap crap" most people refer to Cinderella II and Hunchback II.

Yes, but those people are clearly insane.

My point is there a lot of people who disagree with you. Even if they are insane you still have other movies to pick as examples of bad sequels that way more people would agree with you on.

I'm one. *shame*

I actually liked Lion King 2 better than 1.5... mostly because of story potential (realized or not :P). 1.5 was great at the beginning, with Timon's backstory. After that, when they started trying to stick T&P into every scene from the first Lion King... and with no sense of timeline... That bugged me. But the animation is, I'll admit, nicer than TLK2. As well as the colors... everything's not bleeding magenta or orange.

Actually, the overexploitation of Timon and Pumbaa irritates me in general.

As for other sequels, I haven't bothered with most of them. Hunchback II looked absolutely hideous in the previews, and extra princess stories (Little Mermaid/Cinderella) were also avoided. I did hear that Stitch Has a Glitch was good, though... maybe I should check it out someday.

Stitch Has a Glitch was quite well done.
