Disney have announced a bunch of sequels based on existing intellectual properties recently, as well as live action remakes of classic animated films. With so much going on, and with the recent slate of projects shown off at CinemaCon, we have to wonder why there haven't been sequels announced for certain movies.

I want a big-budget, big-screen sequel to many beloved Disney classics — if "Mary Poppins," "Moana," "Tron," "Zootopia" and "Inside Out" can get them, so should the films on my wishlist.

While there have been rumors that some of the movies listed below are in the works, I'm only ranking movies that have been out for a while and truly don't seem like they're getting follow-ups any time soon. I'm also going to disqualify direct-to-video spin-offs, prequels and TV shows made for Disney Plus; this includes "Big Hero 6," "Aladdin," "The Lion King," "Tangled," "The Emperor's New Groove" and "Hercules."

'The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad' (1949)

A sequel to this old-timey anthology film should be less "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and more "The Wind in the Willows." Specifically for Mr. Toad, because if you've gone on his Wild Ride at Disneyland or Disney World, you know that there is a TON of lore behind this amphibious fellow. He crashes his car, gets drunk, goes to hell, gets chased by the police, goes to court and sees Lady Justice — and this was all supposed for be for children? There's definitely potential for a movie exploring this guy's crazy life, and showing the consequences of one's questionable actions through anthropomorphic characters.

'A Bug's Life' (1998)

The forgotten film from the original run of Pixar, this movie isn't the greatest, but still deserves credit and appreciation. It's built on a great idea — one that was done far more poorly with "Antz" and "Bee Movie." You don't need to bring back any of the characters or original voice actors for a follow-up, but you could definitely branch this off and get into potential crises of disappearing honey bees, global warming, or the upcoming cicada-geddon.

'Robin Hood' (1973)

The first movie with an all-animal cast (no humans at all) and the first movie post-Walt Disney's death, this is an extremely underrated movie and one that still has a lot of fans today. Why? Because Robin Hood the fox is a stone cold FOX — a lot of people are still horny for this depiction of the famous thief, and they'll happily let you know about it. You could do anything with these characters; there's a lot of freedom in retelling Robin Hood's story in the modern age.

'Ratatouille' (2007)

Some people reading this might be shocked to not see Pixar's back-to-back masterpieces "Wall-E" and "Up" here instead. As much as those films rock (and have the potential to make you cry), their protagonists are a robot who doesn't speak and an extremely elderly man on death's door. With Remy and "Ratatouille," however, a sequel could follow Alfredo juggling his relationships while running his own restaurant — and you could introduce all manner of villains; a new food critic, an evil health inspector, or even an exterminator who is obsessed with killing rats. The possibilities are almost endless.

'The Nightmare Before Christmas' (1993)

Quite possibly the GOAT stop-motion animated movie, no Disney film in its vast catalog has captured an entire generation of emo kids and goth youth quite like this one. The movie created a cult of rabid fans who are more than happy to pay through the nose for merch, so it's frankly ludicrous to only use "The Nightmare Before Christmas" for theme park rides during October, and not to explore the other holiday trees teased in the original film. Catherine O'Hara is still alive, please let her do more with Sally, give that woman more paychecks!
