BATB's story is pretty much ruined anyways thanks to it taking place during the lead-up to the French Revolution, due to what happens to many of the aristocracy. Besides, technically speaking, BATB never actually says they lived happily ever after, and for that matter, TLM didn't either. It's implied, but never actually said (contrast with, say, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White, where the ending does have the book explicitly say they lived happily ever after).

And you have to admit, Disney4Disney, like it or not, The Return of Jafar was indeed necessary. The writers even admitted it, as they weren't sure with the film's ending as to whether they actually got married.

And technically, they didn't stop the sequels, they just did it in another manner. I definitely know there were more than a few books made that took place after the first TLM film, yet either before Melody's birth or between her presentation and the main events of Return to the Sea.
