I have to plead total ignorance on this one. Happily N’Ever After 2, the direct-to-DVD sequel to the 2006 animated movie, comes to stores this week and I barely knew about it. After all of the bad things I heard about the first movie, I avoided it like… well, like a movie starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. Obviously some people had to like it though, because we’re getting a sequel.

I have to think there’s some sort of clever irony in making a sequel like this. After all, direct to DVD sequels were the mark of Disney animated movies for quite a few years. Taking a franchise that puts a spin on fairy tales, and then doing the Disney thing with a sequel… as I said, clever irony, right?

We’ve got four clips from the upcoming sequel for our viewing pleasure, or maybe for the viewing pleasure of your kids. Again, someone out there will probably like them. I have to admit I even chuckled a time or two while I was watching them, although that could be over the irony thing again.

Happily N’Ever After 2 hits DVD on March 24th.
