Happy continued summer, Talking Simpsons Network supporters! Once more it's time for a poll to decide the next movie we'll be podcasting about. And as we did with our July and August polls for The Black Cauldron and Ghost in the Shell (respectively), the subject of our $10 premium podcast will be decided a few weeks earlier than we've done in previous months.

Currently, we're so far ahead in podcast recordings at the moment that we actually have the time in August to not only record the next What A Cartoon Movie! (Ghost in the Shell), but also to fit in the recording of our September episode, so the sooner you help us choose the film, the sooner we can record a podcast about it!

If you're new here, you should know that once a month we release the What A Cartoon Movie! podcast, an extra-long discussion about an animated film, exclusively for our $10 Patreon subscribers. And when we open up the voting for each month's subject, we want all the $5 subscribers to also have a chance to be heard, so those subscribers can help pick episodes they might enjoy down the line!

What will you pick for the September 2020 movie? We're taking a trip into the Disney vault for one of their direct-to-video sequels that defined that decade!

Your four Disney sequel choices are:

Aladdin: The Return of Jafar (1994), the sequel that started it all by being such a huge hit that every other theatrical Disney feature got the same treatment!

Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas (1997), a holiday tale that actually takes place during the setting of the first film—so it's more an interquel, really!

An Extremely Goofy Movie (2000), where father and son pain happens during the ESPN X-Games in the sequel to the '90s classic!

The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (1998), the big cat sequel that replaces Hamlet with Romeo And Juliet to tell a similarly dramatic tale!

So please, make your voices heard before the poll closes on the night of August 7! Thanks as always for your amazing support, and know that we're really looking forward to recording August's podcast ASAP!

Tough call but had to give it to Return of Jafar

SomeBloke

I feel like these other direct-to-video sequels require the context of Return of Jafar to truly... um... appreciate them?

Cody C.

Return of Jafar for what it is does an admirable job of being a bridge for the animated series and the film.

Frank Grimes

I'm pretty partial to RoJ, I was practically obsessed with it as a kid (even had a comic where I'd trace the pics)...but it's just a long pilot episode for the disney afternoon show....really enjoyed AEGM, however...tough one.

Tashmon Dimps

Dang. This is a tough choice. I think Return of Jafar is a good baseline for talking about the entire Direct to Video wave, but also, I kinda want to hear you talk about TLK a bit XD

John-Charles Holmes

This one really is rough, but I gotta agree w the commenters so far-- the context of Jafar before covering any of the other movies in the future really will make for a better flow of things

Vulpes

The Goofy Movie episode is one of your best, so following up with the sequel seems like the natural choice.

Matt

Simba’s Pride is the only one of these I’ve seen more than once, though I’ve seen the third Aladdin movie a bunch

I.C. Weiner

I LOVED Return of Jafar as a kid and would watch it regularly during my childhood. Then I tried to watch it a few months ago on D+ and couldn't make it past 15 minutes. I'd much rather go with Goofy as I loved both of your Goofy episodes so far and I couldn't care less about An Extremely Goofy Movie so doing a close reading of it can't ruin my nostalgia.

ToonJay723

I went with "An Extremely Goofy Movie". Surprised "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins" isn't a part of this poll since you expressed interest in doing all the Toy Story films.

Laura_Ali

It won't win but I voted for Beauty and the Beast because it's so mind-boggling and against everything the first film was about that I love hearing people talk about it.

TheShockmaster

I think Aladdin will make for the best intro to the rise of the Disney "direct to video" sequels that followed it.

Sibyl Arnett

Enchanted Christmas is SO INSANE and I feel that of all of these it's gonna be the best time... and once again I see that I have the absolute dead-last opinion in the poll

ShyRanger

If you guys ever do Disney Sequels poll again, you should put Cinderella III on there. That movie actually has an interesting idea, some creepy imagery, and gets a little meta with the whole "Wait, should these two ACTUALLY belong together"

Dylan (batmanboy11) Freitag

I'm curious to see Aladdin II and Beauty and the Beast II for the first time, but I think the X-Games factor makes me want to revisit An EXTREMELY Goofy Movie (plus the Goofy Movie podcast was goddamn good, so that helps too).

crystalhearts

I really like that this post refers to these as "90s anime choices" because honestly, true

Galen Ryder

I hated Return of Jafar as a kid and have never watched it since. Aladdin and the King of Thieves is way better in comparision. But if Return of Jafar wins I'll be forced to watch it again on Disney+. Cinderella 3: A Twist in Time might be the best non-theatrical Disney sequel, Jennifer Hale and Tress MacNeille are great in it but I guess that more of a Direct-to-DVD to be in this poll.

littleterr0r

I've never seen any of these until I recently watched "An Extremely Goofy Movie" with my daughter, so my vote is for that one.

Fredison

I'd be curious to hear you talk about Lion King 2 at some point, but it'd be odd if you didn't cover the original first.

Andrew Nguyen

Looks like Aladdin is gonna win, but I was super curious about Lion King 2. Isn't it about Scar's kid and challenging the idea of inherent evil and lineage? I'm excited to learn more but all you Disney nerds must be like *Rock voice* "FINALLY!" Would love to hear SungWon Cho @ProZD on some more about Disney stuff.

Jon

Of all the Disney sequels, Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch has a Glitch is one of the darkest "death comes for us all" modern Disney productions I have ever seen. It wimps out in the last 5 seconds because Disney but it was a shocker at "ironic movie night" in college. It would be a fun topic one day!

crystalhearts

Tough call between Jafar and the goof man. The other two are tbh more interesting to me but they really would benefit from covering the originals first.

KaiserBeamz

I'm surprised at the commanding lead Jafar has. Guess it would make sense to talk about the true direct-to-video Disney movie, but I thought Goofy had this in the bag.

To Boldly Joe... Moore

Return of Jafar really is the poster child for this particular topic.

Alex Irish

Return of Jafar winning the poll is very appropriate. It and Aladdin and the King of Thieves are the only Disney DTV titles I owned in their original release. My cousins owned An Extremely Goofy Movie (a giant ad for ESPN in hindsight) and I’ve still never seen BatB2 or TLK2 in full (only in clips via internet reviews)
