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.
Except the whole "nobody calls me chicken" bit.
Yeah, that part is weird to be used as a plot device.
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.
