Actually, the Aladdin sequels weren't exactly that bad, to be honest, and neither was Simba's Pride. And while I wouldn't necessarily say Return to the Sea was all that good (especially when it was one of the factors that led me to hate singing), it was certainly better than Ariel's Beginning, which had very little redeeming value. In some cases, the sequels are actually BETTER than the original film (like The Enchanted Christmas, for example). Sure, there are some really crummy sequels that had very little redeeming value (Hunchback of Notre Dame II was very bad, even though I must admit Sarousch, poorly written villain or not, actually did come across as far more evil than Frollo did, and as noted above, Ariel's Beginning seemed like no one even watched the original movie as a template, getting several things wrong that even a casual fan would get right, like Ariel's sisters birth order.), but on the other hand, there also were some sequels that actually were good, even if not as good as the original film, and in rare cases were even better.

In a way, I kind of regret that Disney stopped the DTV sequels. They probably should have done one more for Beauty and the Beast, set during the French Revolution. At least there, we might actually see whether Belle would recognize the French Revolutionaries and their Philosophe idols as being the monsters they truly were, and would act as a valuable educational experience for the kiddies.

And I'm a bit surprised you're against a Frozen sequel, TRIMC 95. It would give them an opportunity to fix something you felt was a huge mistake with the original film: namely, how they handled Hans, and besides which, his VA did indicate that if Frozen gets a sequel, Hans would most likely end up redeemed. If there's some optimism for you to have with a sequel, that would be it.
