It is not a small world of Disney films after all. That mouse-related juggernaut keeps right on rolling along year after year after year. When they stumble upon a hit, which they do with great regularity — they have both of the two biggest box-office hits of the year right now, for example — nobody is better than Disney at finding ways to turn that one-time hit into a perpetual multimedia franchise.

Sometimes that means live-action remakes. Often that means video games, TV spinoffs, and truckloads of merchandise. And a lot of times that means sequels. So many sequels.

Disney didn’t become the massive Hollywood juggernaut they are by churning out bad movies. They have produced had plenty of sequels people love.

It didn’t seem fair to compare big-screen titles — made with large budgets, A-list stars, and top talent — with movies that were made on the cheap by lesser-known actors and creators.
