List of Direct-to-Video Sequel and Prequel Films to Disney Animated Canon

Many of the feature movies in the Disney Animated Canon were eventually expanded with story sequels and prequels showing the further – or earlier – adventures of their various heroes and Princesses. These additional films are primarily released direct to home video..

While there has been a thriving subset of Disney animated movie sequels in the 1990s and 2000s, this gradually died out, with Disney now opting to have any possible sequels to their movies being full productions aimed for release in cinemas. Here’s a list of those home-video Disney animated films.
