I agree, too. If you can't even think up an original title, what does that say about the amount of thought that went into an original story?
If the only title you can come up with is to add a number to the original title, you shouldn't be making a sequel. The least you can do is add a subtitle (e.g. Stitch has a Glitch).
And often, even subtitles could use some originality. Return to Neverland, LM2: Return to the Sea, etc.)
I'm not against sequels. I appreciate a director like Brad Bird who said he would consider doing Incredibles 2 if the story was good. Too many times a studio says "We're going to make a sequel to this movie" and then later has to figure out "OK, so what's it about?"

That's how great movies saga work out! I'm not a sequel hater as somebody here would like me to be, i'm against the politic of making sequel to a movie because the first one made money, (artistic) NONSENSE. But as long as some fan(atic)s are ready to praise them, they'll keep on doing them...
Even though it wasn't one of Disney's "big hits" I wouldn't mind seeing an Oliver and Company sequal (done right of course). The characters were so fun and so rambunctions and the end was like....very open to "new adventures" in NYC.
Except that whole film is a little bit dated with the eighties trends, plus Joey Lawrence having grown up LONG ago...who would they get to do the voice? Well, maybe Cheech Marin would come back!
You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!
Oh, that reminds me! At the end of the credits there is a new DisneyToon Studios logo presentation with Mickey coming out of a circle and drawing the DisneyToon Studios logo. It's fun
It's really sad we won't be seeing this anymore.
BTW did they get the name "DisneyToon" from the VERY short lived "MovieToon" label that released "DuckTails: Treasure of the Lost Lamp" back in 1990?

I think we'll be seeing the Mickey DisneyToon logo, only not on films from DisneyToon. They'll continue to use it on the outsourced Asia stuff, 'cause, hey, we won't notice any difference, right?
The MovieToon label, which did debut with the DuckTales movie, was intended as being specifically for producing new movies for the old established characters. They only ever produced two movies: DuckTales and A Goofy Movie, though a Mickey one was in the works for a while (not Musketeers).
When the DTV unit basically became the only place where "toon" (read: hand-drawn) animation was being done at Disney, the unit took on the name. While many of the execs (Snedeker, Morrill) have crossed over from MovieToon to DisneyToon (essentially the theatrical unit of the TV animation crowd) unit, the two names are not actually linked in anything other than the Toon word.
