Two fun-filled family movies from DisneyToon Studios captured the
hearts of young moviegoers, while providing parents with new adventures
starring their childhood favorites. The Jungle Book 2, a
sequel to the 1967 Disney classic, added an all-new chapter to one
of the studio’s best-loved animated films, with John Goodman
as Baloo and Academy Award nominee Haley Joel Osment as Mowgli.
Piglet’s Big Movie brought new adventures to the Hundred
Acre Wood and featured songs written and performed by Carly Simon.
101 Dalmatians II: Patch’s London Adventure premiered

animation franchises. Featuring lush, fluid animation in the style
of the original, with toe-tapping tunes and a stellar voice cast
headed by Barry Bostwick, Jason Alexander and Martin Short, the
animated sequel was one of the top-selling DVD/video premiere titles
for the year.
The Lion King 11/2

Winnie the Pooh’s Springtime with Roo, a heartwarming
tale in which lovable little Roo takes center stage, arrives just
in time for Easter. For summer, Mulan II brings back all
the favorite characters from the original classic. And Mickey, Donald
and Goofy team up for swashbuckling action in The Three Musketeers,
an outrageous musical take on the classic story.

Twice upon a Christmas, featuring Mickey Mouse and his friends
