Kids eager to see more of familiar characters from such hits as The Lion King and The Little Mermaid can find them in sequels, including Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure (released last week) and Blue's Clues: Blue's Big Musical Movie, which spins the TV series into a full-length extravaganza...
