"Lassetter also declared all the direct to video sequels non-canonical (which they are despite what you think and what Lassetter says goes, no matter what).

Any and all reissues of them are not his doing and Home Entertainment does not speak for the company as a whole. "

Had I been in Lassetter's position, I would have made sure that the DTV cheapquels never even see the light of day again, period. In case you've forgotten the Home Entertainment aspects are under the WDAS jurisdiction, so if John Lasseter really wanted to make them non-canon, he'd declare an embargo on even rereleases. I would if I were in his position.

And BTW, if you're going to declare them non-canonical, you need the teeth to back them up, including, I should point out, shelving them to such an extent that they don't even rereleases. The mere fact that they still get rereleases despite Lasseter's control over the company makes clear they still view them as canon. Actions speak louder than words. And I don't even like many of the sequels.

And for the record, Those people complaining are also former workers at Disney, and in some cases, even their shareholders, so what Iger is doing is effectively the same as what Eisner did (and need I really remind you what happened under his watch?).
