Disney gets rid of DVD sequels

Found this the other day at www.dvdreview.com

"As part of the reorganizing of Disney's animation unit, John Lasseter of PIXAR fame has put an end to direct to DVD sequels to the studios theatrical films claiming that films like Bambi II and Aladdin III destroy the integrity of their original stories. Included in this is the previously scheduled Tinkerbell movie, which was - according to Lasseter - a mess."

Other such crap sequels that have already been released included The Little Mermaid 2 where Ariel's daughter wants to be a mermaid.

If you are still clamoring for that film however just buy the Little mermaid and when you're done hit rewind on your dvd player. Two movies for the price of one.

Thank F#@&ing God!

I will however, stick up for one Disney sequel- the sequel to the Lady and the Tramp was sort of years in the making. I had Scamp storybooks as a kid, and used to dream about the day they would finally give the little pup his own movie.

That being said, the Scamp movie isn't particularly great. It kind of killed the dream. :(
