"wow, WOW.

yes, lets KICK out the person who revived WDAS in the first place. sounds like a great idea. also, release date is not chosen by Lasseter. theres a completely different division choosing the dates. if you people dont know the details, dont insult him. without him, you'll see WDAS shut down and more Chicken Littles faster than you blink. "

Maybe not, but the bit about the rerelease of several DTV sequels definitely fell under his jurisdiction (and please don't claim that's a different division, because it's not an excuse, and I'll explain why later), and that IS on him. And for the record, we DO blame him for the Disney Fairies franchise (and it wasn't a success, either. It actually BOMBED worse than the DTV sequels. Legend of the Neverbeast was even the last one in the franchise due to bad merchandising and a diminishing home market). And BTW, demanding it be made into CGI and eliminating the traditional animation department was definitely all on him since HE'S the one who wrote it.

"just because it mas extensive franchise doesnt mean it needs or will have a sequel. Snow White spanned many books and comics and games: where's the sequel? Just because it has extensive franchise does not mean a sequel will come. "

You DO realize that the term "sequel" only means a follow up to the original tale, right? That means that the books, comics, and games, unless they are either sourcebooks or otherwise direct adaptations of the original work in question, are all sequels. Same goes for anything going before an original work are called prequels, or things taking place right during the original work's events are midquels/interquels.

"and you guys dont even know that Lasseter is not responsible for any of the things you listed. whether or not a film is released in DVD is not his responsiblity, but a completely different division. if you're blaming him for DisneyToon, how about blame him for making good Tinker Bell films or horrid Planes films? THOSE are his ideas. the rest? not even part of his job. "

Actually, it IS his responsibility in that case, regardless of if it was in his jurisdiction. Most of the games made by Kojima Productions related to Metal Gear that are non-canonical also were made largely without Kojima's input, and they make sure they DON'T rerelease them at all, even when they actually are demanded to be rereleased (like Ghost Babel, which was extremely well-received by Metal Gear fans DESPITE it being a non-canon game, and was even highly demanded for a rerelease on the Virtual Console, something that to this day it hasn't gotten a single rerelease), or even with games he actually likes (like Snake's Revenge for example). Had I been in Lasseter's position and sought an end to the sequel business, mark my words, I would have made darn sure I cancelled them even if it wasn't even in my jurisdiction, be exceptionally ruthless in that regard, not even caring if it was not part of my job at all.
