![]() ![]() In the nearly 70 years of opportunity, there has not been a sequel made to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Disney's first feature film. But this episode centers around sprites and Carpet, not Jasmine. She even does a bit of solo flying like Aladdin. To connect to the Disney Princess theme at large, the affluent Sultan's daughter does appear in this episode. Carpet understandably feels left out and so he hangs with Iago and Abu, as they trash the palace. Still, they enable Aladdin to fly on his own, without any help from the Magic Carpet. The sprites are! The little fairies look cute, but they are a bit of a nuisance. But it turns the parrot and monkey aren't responsible this time. When part of the palace is left in shambles, Iago and Abu get scolded by the Sultan and Aladdin. Her story is "Love at First Sprite" (21:13), a first season episode of the Aladdin TV series. That's about as artistic as it gets, as she choose to put it in her Princess Chest. The feature opens with a first-person monologue from an unseen little girl who can't decide where to put her princess wreath. Continuing with this minimal-content approach, Disney could easily churn out another 50 volumes of Princess Stories if they're just going to be two-episode compilations like this. And the one new piece seems to have been conceived and planned out in the course of a few hours.īetween "The Little Mermaid" and "Aladdin", the two cartoon series included here, there were over 100 episodes produced. Why shouldn't it be? The shows were written and produced to be enjoyed in one half-hour block on a weekday afternoon or Saturday morning over ten years ago. All of the main feature is either poorly or minimally animated, and for the most part, it's forgettable. With no real theme or focus, you just get stuff.Īltogether, just over an hour of stuff has eked out. For that matter, Jasmine, the Disney princess in the first story, doesn't figure largely in her episode of Aladdin. ![]() Friendship is not something that's explained or even emphasized in these episodes. With an all-encompassing name like that, pretty much any half-hour of animation could fit that bill. Literally anything, as what you have here are two half-hour episodes of animated television series from last decade, a new hodgepodge short taken from Walt Disney's first feature film, and a sprinkling of three brief bonus features.ĭon't assume that the subtitle Tales of Friendship has any meaning. ![]() It's probably not faulty for the studio to assume that they can put the "Disney Princess" name on anything and it will sell. After all, here we are, five months after the series' debut and there are two new discs. The line of Princess DVDs must have been successful enough to have merited a second wave. Like Volume One, Princess Stories: Volume Two is satisfied to recycle old animated content for new consumption in a colorful package. This kind of rationale seems to drive the least-effort-possible approach which produces a DVD like this. ![]() All it would have to do is feature the studio's popular heroines and it would be delivering what is expected. With its generic title, Disney Princess Stories: Volume Two - Tales of Friendship could be anything.
