No More Disney Direct-to-DVD Sequels

Thanks to Steve Jobs, Disney’s largest shareholder, there will no longer be direct-to-DVD movie sequels. He is thought to have influenced Disney’s board in doing away with these “embarrassing” releases, even if they’re a lucrative part of business. I totally agree with the decision. I always thought these sequels were hokey and subpar compared to the theatrical releases. And besides, why touch the Disney classics? I don’t think we need to know what happens to Cinderella, Snow White, or Mowgli for that matter, in the “happily ever after” stage of their lives. Let the original stories stand on their own, for Pete’s sake.
