Maybe, but then again, he didn't exactly think Splash should have been Disney early in its development, either, yet even he admitted they did a better job after it was released. It was mentioned in Disney War, and I think his son in law initially refused it because he felt Walt Disney didn't want that.

And either way, if Ariel and the Aquamarine Jewel is anything to go by, they just did sequels in a different format after all the sequels were cancelled.
