Animation is one of the most fascinating mediums that have ever stemmed from cinema. Pretty much visually limitless, it gives filmmakers a blank canvas to plaster the most ambitious pieces of their imagination. Likewise, animation is perfect for building large, expansive franchises that explore different worlds, concepts, and characters. As such, throughout the years, there have been many animated sequels.
One of the best fantasy sequels of the 2010s, animated or otherwise, How to Train Your Dragon 2 is just as charming, epic, and visually stunning as its predecessor. It expands on the world and characters that fans had already fallen in love with in the most interesting ways, adding poignant twists that should resonate deeply with any viewer, no matter their age. Exciting, mature, and deeply emotional, it displays all the reasons why this is typically considered DreamWorks' best trilogy.
Just like its predecessor, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence is stunningly dark, has incredible noir-ish visuals, and offers plenty of deeply intricate philosophical commentary that might actually be a bit hard to keep up with — but the effort is entirely worth it. Its rather convoluted plot doesn't really allow it to excel over the original, but every area that it does get right lets it stand out among most other anime film sequels.
Kung Fu Panda 2 soon became one of DreamWorks' highest-grossing movies, and it isn't hard to see why. More epic, colorful, and philosophically profound than its predecessor — touching on powerful themes of duality and internal healing — Kung Fu Panda 2 is some of the most fun one can have with a movie, no matter one's age. It's funny, empowering, and still looks shockingly good, even over a decade later.
4 'Puss in Boots: The Last Wish' Directed by Joel Crawford At least before the exceptional trailer dropped, absolutely no one could have expected the surprise sequel to one of DreamWorks' most forgettable outings to become one of their greatest films ever. Still, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish came out to universal praise.
