Top 7 Disney and Pixar Movies That Deserve a Sequel

There’s something magical about Disney and Pixar films. They capture our hearts, spark our imaginations, and bring us unforgettable characters and stories. While Disney has produced countless movies, some fan favorites are still waiting for a follow-up.

Here’s a list of Disney and Pixar films that we believe deserve a quality sequel the most. Which one would you like to see brought back to life?

1. The Princess and the Frog (Disney, 2009)

Few Disney princesses show the dedication and drive that Tiana has in The Princess and the Frog. From a dream to reality, Tiana’s hard work lands her both a royal title and her dream restaurant. But we’re left wondering—how did her restaurant flourish? A sequel could show us Tiana as a thriving entrepreneur, tackling the challenges of running her restaurant in New Orleans. And, of course, we’d love to see more of her life with Prince Naveen!

Perhaps they even become parents, passing on the value of hard work to their little ones. Plus, who wouldn’t want to learn more about Mama Odie’s story and wisdom?

2. The Sword in the Stone (Disney, 1963)

Disney’s The Sword in the Stone tells the whimsical story of young Wart, destined to become King Arthur. With Merlin’s guidance, Wart learns valuable life lessons through magical transformations. But what happens after Wart becomes King? A sequel could explore his journey from a humble boy to a wise and just king, possibly encountering challenges from villains like Mad Madam Mim.

There’s so much lore surrounding King Arthur’s legendary reign—Disney could add its own magic to the story, creating a timeless tale filled with new adventures, allies, and challenges.

3. WALL-E (Pixar, 2008)

WALL-E, the lovable trash-compacting robot, won us over with his dedication and his heartwarming romance with EVE. By the end of WALL-E, humanity had taken the first steps back to a renewed Earth. But what happened next? Did humanity reclaim the Earth and rediscover their connection to it? A sequel could explore how the once-robot-dependent humans adapt to their new life, reconnect with nature, and maybe even work alongside WALL-E and other robots in their quest to rebuild.

The journey of WALL-E and EVE could continue, exploring love, friendship, and the power of hope.

4. Ratatouille (Pixar, 2007)

Who knew that a rat in a Parisian kitchen could be so charming? Ratatouille made us fall in love with Remy, a rat with a gift for cooking, and his human friend Linguini. Since the movie’s end, fans have wondered: What happened to Linguini and Colette? Did they start a culinary empire together? And what about Remy—does he continue to cook in secret, or has he inspired a change in how people view rats?

A sequel could answer these questions and bring us back to the world of French cuisine with Remy, Linguini, and Colette taking the lead in new culinary adventures.

5. Soul (Pixar, 2020)

Pixar’s Soul gave us a touching exploration of purpose and the beauty of life’s everyday moments. While Soul is relatively new, the story of Joe Gardner left many fans wondering, “What happens next?” A sequel could follow Joe as he lives with a renewed perspective, perhaps mentoring new souls like 22 who are navigating life for the first time.

Pixar could expand on the journey of self-discovery, showing how Joe uses his new insights in both his music and daily life. Fans would love to see how 22 is doing, too—did she finally find her purpose?

6. Cinderella (Disney, 1950)

Yes, Cinderella’s tale has had sequels, but imagine a new, modern sequel that revisits Cinderella’s story in a fresh way. Rather than exploring alternate paths, a new sequel could focus on her “happily ever after” and explore how she adjusted to life as a royal. Did she use her kind heart to bring positive changes to the kingdom?

Has she started a family, and if so, how has she passed on her values? Disney could bring new life to this classic by giving Cinderella the true sequel she deserves.

7. Brave (Pixar, 2012)

Merida’s story in Brave brought a new type of princess to the screen—strong, independent, and uninterested in traditional romance. However, fans are curious to know what happened to Merida in the years following her defiance of tradition. Did she remain focused on her skills as a leader, or did she find a new path? A sequel could delve into her evolution as a queen and explore the changes she brings to her kingdom.

Plus, we’d love to know—are her mischievous brothers still keeping her on her toes?
