I will admit I dislike sequels because 90% of the time they are no good and just trying to cash in on the first movie. I would rather see Disney come up with a new animated movie than Frozen 2. For your sake, I hope it is good.
I'm also cautiously excited. All the buzz from the extended preview shown at the D23 Expo last month was positive. I'm sure the theme parks will also have a 10-15 minute preview sometime next month so hopefully I can catch before this comes out.
It does seem a bit darker than the first one but that makes sense as all the kids who loved the first one are now approaching tween age.
^ I was almost 21 when the first movie came out actually. I will be 27 in February! Going for darker territory is precisely half my worry. I am also worried things will never be the same again.
