With Tarzan II and Lilo And Stitch 2 likely to head into theaters, one title that looks destined to go direct-to-video is The Emperor’s New Grove II – AKA The Emperor’s Newer Groove. With an animation time of just over one year, it looks as if this DTV film will have the production values of a Cinderella II or a Pocahontas II rather than the feature quality of the first film, or even the above standard Return To NeverLand or Jungle Book 2 sequels. The Internet Movie DataBase is listing a release date of July 20 2005.
