Unfortunately, Disney would need to pull something similar to how Konami (I'd mention Kojima Productions, but unfortunately, recent events basically resulted in it being eliminated) often treats its non-canonical Metal Gear franchises (ie, absolutely no rereleases, period) before the cheapquels can be even fully non-canon, especially when they are a painful reminder of the Eisner years. And believe me, Disney is more than capable of doing that if they wanted to, if their treatment of What Makes The Red Man Red, Song of the South, and the Path to 9/11 special (yes, it's technically not directly made by Disney, but ABC is owned by Disney so it still counts), or even what happened to Star Wars' Expanded Universe after they gained control of LucasFilm Ltd. is anything to go by.

We can't rely on that guy you love to cite, as his Tumblr account already made it pretty clear that anything he says on there is not officially recognized by Disney (which basically means we cannot use it as a source even if I were to agree with him). Nor can we even rely on what John Lasseter says either, since aside from actions speaking far louder than words (he said that he'd resurrect traditional animation, but then he apparently chickened out on doing that after Winnie the Pooh, if he ever had any intention of doing that at all), a lot of head staff have unfortunately stated things as official word that directly conflict with other stuff. For example, George Lucas in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter claimed that Greedo had always shot first, claimed there utilized zoom-ins and other filming techniques, and then claimed that the fans just wanted to see Han as being a heartless murderer, and this was despite the fact that the shooting script (which most certainly would have been made under George Lucas' watch. Heck, Lucas pretty much wrote it) for the film made it pretty clear that Han Solo actually DID shoot first. If we were to use official company policy, we'd have to state that Greedo shot first even in the original film just because George Lucas said it was so, even when there was plenty of evidence against it from, ironically, the same official materials like the shooting script.

Look, I don't exactly like many of the cheapquels any more than you do. However, I'm also being realistic. And I really wouldn't say most people never saw them, because if they didn't, there's no economic reason to continue rereleasing them. Besides, by that same logic, most people have never seen Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs anyways since it's an old movie.
