Quite a few sequels have to retcon the characters progression from the first movie to have a story to tell. What are examples of sequels who managed to avoid that? (piefed.zip)

It's been a long while but I think back to the future manage to squeeze in two sequel without retcon the character.

Also Cloudy With a Chance of Meatball 2 is so guilty of this, they have to change so much to fit in the villain of the movie. Also Sam and Manny is somehow a resident of Swallow Falls that is now displaced, despite being based in New York and travel to Swallow Falls for the news coverage. The whole plot is mediocre too.

    I mean it's based on a couple children's books about kids' imaginations running wild. It's been a long time since I've read either, but isn't a parent or grandparent telling the kids a story, and they're little kids so they believe all the stuff about giant food.

    I remember loving the illustrations in each one though.
