  Jim Hill : Say "So Long !" to direct-to-video sequels : DisneyToon Studios tunes out Sharon Morrill
To be specific, he felt that the steady stream of cheaply made video premieres that DisneyToon Studios had produced over the past decade had severely undercut the perceived value of the full-blown animated features that WDAS was producing.
But of all the projects that DisneyToon had in its production pipeline, the one that seemed to upset Lasseter the most was "The Tinkerbell Movie." This home premiere (Which was said to be Morrill's baby, with the DisneyToon president having lots of input on this movie's storyline) was an awful mess.
Mostly because the home premieres that DisneyToon Studios was producing were now thought to make the really-for-real animated features that WDAS were making seem that much less special.

The studio bearing his name announced that, due to a "changing creative climate and economic environment," it will be shutting DisneyToon Studios Australia next year.
For it was at the Disney studio that hand-drawn personality animation--an indigenously American contribution to the international art form of animation--soared to its greatest heights.
The Disney studio's recent string of expensive hand-drawn feature failures, such as "Treasure Planet," "Brother Bear" and "Home on the Range," were the result of poor story choices and corporate meddling in the creative process, not the wrong kind of animation.

The problem with DisneyToon Studios is not just *what* they do (create tepid and vacuous sequels) -- it's also, as insiders well know, a matter of *how*.
The culture of fear and creative malpractice beneath which the studio's talented artists are forced to perform is a soul-crushing nightmare that surely will not stand for long under Lasseter's watch.
Just as Pixar wants control over sequels to their original films, if a sequel is to be made to a classic it should be made by the studio responsible for feature animation and released as a feature with the appropriate story.
