You heard me right. Sequals everywhere. As if Bambi II wasn't enough, we have this. Notice the absence of any characters from the original. Why couldn't they just release Robin Hood II? Preferably without the "be yourself" crap or any lame attempt at comedy. Preferably, they should fight radio-active weapon-wielding zombies with 25th century weaponry some careless timetraveler just happened to leave behind.

Add in around 20 Megaman games int he past 6 years and the epidemic is nearly fatal.

Didnt you hear? People are too stupid to come up with their own ideas. They are now resorting to remakes, sequels, and ideas taken from other movies but put in a different plot/situation.

Creativity gets in the way of profit. Well modern businessmen that is.

Disney can't tell the epic anymore. They are too short sighted to do that.

Look at Snow White. Seventy years later and it still sells crap.

I hate Disney. They take folk tales, water them down into silly kitsch and then spend the next 20 years milking them for all they're worth with increasingly silly sequals. At least Japan still has some good animation.
