Yeah, and besides, practically the reason we even GOT a slew of direct-to-video sequels in the first place was BECAUSE releasing sequels to theaters were a total failure. For example, starting with "Return of Jafar", we've got many DTV extensions because of how The Rescuer's Down Under bombed in theaters (even though I personally thought it was a pretty good movie). In fact Return to Never Land and The Jungle Book 2 were in fact released into theaters specifically to evade having to do DTV extensions, and those bombed.

And quite frankly, this violated John Lasseter's pledge of no more sequels, Wreck It Ralph 2, as well, and I'm seeing the big picture.

I will mention this much, though: IF Disney is to do DTV sequels again, they'd BETTER make sure that they do it like the DC Universe Animated Original Movie lineup does it, in other words, even though they are DTV, they make DARN sure that they are very high-quality.

I will ask this, though, do you have any objections to, say, Ariel and the Aquamarine Jewel? That's technically a sequel (if it takes place after the original, it's by definition a sequel, even if it's in book form).
