Disney announced that they will no longer produce low-budget sequels for their classic movies. Examples of this include “Little Mermaid 2″ and “Lion King 1 and 1/2.” The change reflects the new philosophy and impact that Pixar (including Steve Jobs and John Lasseter) have had at Disney. This announcement is being made despite the fact that direct-to-DVD movies like this have been profitable for Disney in the past.
