Dr. Slump 2: OH NO! WE GOT TO THE SEQUEL would be a 2030 American musical romantic comedy film directed by Kevin Lima and Bill Condon, and produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Toei Company. It would be a sequel to Dr. Slump: Arale's First Live-action Movie. The first film's directors, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, would produce the film alongside Kevin Feige and the franchise's creator Akira Toriyama, while the film would be written by Bill Kelly, who previously co-wrte the first film and worked with Lima in Enchanted (2007), and Greg Berlanti.

Plans for a Dr. Slump sequel would be first announed during the San Diego-Comic Con 2027, with Lima and Condon being announced to direct the project. Filming began in August 2028 and ended in June 2029. Lima's 2007 film, Enchanted, which parodied several animated Disney films, would serve as an inspiration for the film's tone and style.

The film would be released on December 22, 2030, and would became a critical and commercial success, grossing 1.5 billion dollars over a budget of 177 millions, and being praised for its direction, LGBTQ+ themes, script, humor, performances, and musical numbers.

Synopsis
A few years after the first film (obviously, it can't be set five minutes after it, can it?), Arale finds her life suffering another radical change: She finds love (aaahhh) in the girl of her dreams, Obotchawoman (well, the change in name is obvious). However, while Obotchawoman does feels the same, all her life she was given perceptions about love that could threaten this romance from flourishing (DRAMA!!!). Can this love survive its obstacles, or shall they destroy not only their feelings, but themselves too? (Now this sounds interesting).

Cast

 * Abby Ryder Fortson as Arake Noriamki, a robot who was created by Dr. Senbei Norimaki, and who develops feeling for Obotchawoman.
 * Madeline McGrew as Obotchawoman, a lesbian and a young cyborg who has been told all of her life that her homosexuality is a sickness, and Arale's love ineterest. The character's gender would be changed because the filmmakers felt that the film lacked the "social commentary tone" of the first film, to which the filmmakers would change her gender to add LGBTQ+ themes in the film. Director Bill Condon said that her arc is "one about self-acceptance, and learning that the nly rule love has, is that it has 0 rules".
 * Jim Carrey as Dr. Masharito, a mad scientist and homphobe who has promised Obotchawoman to "cure" her of her homosexuality if she brings both Arale and certain technological objects to him, secretly planning to kill both of them, as well as all homosexuals and robots.
 * China Anne McClain as Turbo Norimaki, Arale's older sister.
 * Will Smith as Senbei Norimaki, Arale's creator and Turbo's father.

Voices

 * Nathan Lane as Miton, an antropormorphic meerkat and Obotchawoman's closest friend, who tries to convince her to embrace her lesbianity instead of getting rid of it. The character's name would be an anagram of the word "Timon", which was the name of Lane's character in Disney's The Lion King (1994).
 * Ernie Sabella as Mr. Pig, the mayor's spokeperson and Miton's boyfriend, who always gives the latest news on Penguin Village.
 * Alan Menken as Ken, an antropomorphic harpsichord who is preparing his first ball ever. The film would mark the first time Menken voices a character in a film, as well as his first time appearing in a non-documentary film.
 * John Cleese as Tori, an anthropomorphic bird who serves as the film's "Greek chorus", acting as both a friend of Arale's, and the film's narrator.

Music
Michael Giacchino, who previously composed the first film, and Alan Menken, who previously scored Lima's Enchanted (2007) and Condon's Beauty and the Beast (2017), would compose the film's score, which would contain motifs and elements from both the original anime and the Dragon Ball anime's score by Shunsuke Kikuchi. Giacchino's involvement in the score would consist on giving the score continuity with the previous film's, while Menken's work on the score would consist on "making sure the songs blend in perfectly witht he score". Giacchino, due to his use of puns in the title of his scores' tracks, would be the one to name the score tracks in the soundtrack.

Menken and lyrcist Stephen Schwartz would also write several songs for the film, which would be performed by the film's cast. Menken and Schwartz would be hired due to their work on Enchanted, as that film's songs were parodies fo several Disney songs, something which producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller would see as fitting with the franchise's humor style. Celene Dion, Ariana Grande & John Legend, and Zhavia Ward would also perform songs for the film's end credits.

Critical reception
The film would have an aproval rating of 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, with an average rating of 8/10. The critical consensus would read, "As timely and humorus as its predecesor, Dr. Slump 2 manages the hard thing for sequels and brings a fresh story in a fresh style, but with an old tone." On Metacritc, the film would have an weighted average score of 90 out of 100, based on 48 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".
