I think it all started with "Beauty & The Beast's Enchanted Christmas". Soon after came "Aladin: The Return of Jafar". See, I'm okay with the "Dineyfication" of the classics. You want Quazimodo to have a beautiful voice and wacky animate gargoyles for friends? Go ahead. You want Cinderella to have a bunch of lovable talking vermin help her get to the ball? Go ahead. Wise-talking, skat-singing animals in The Jungle Book, a wacky-yet-wise cricket to be pinochio's constant sidekick instead of just being a two-sceene character, and terribley butchered cockney accents to Marry Poppins? I'm cool with that. But these SEQUELS HAVE TO STOP!!! Right now, Disney has sequels to Hunchback of Notredam, Peter Pan, and now CINDERELLA, ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!!
Good thing they had those olympic-class gymnastic parelell bars installed in Walt's grave... they must come in handy for all the flipping and turning in his grave that he must be doing.

If you're some Vice President of Bringing In Shit-tons More Cash at Disney just sitting around your office trying to think of some way to bring in shit-tons more cash and your gaze alights on that copy of, I dunno, Fantasia, or Cinderella, or Lady and the Tramp, or any of the other zillion Disney classics on your bookshelf, what are you gonna do? I once read something in which the author described the phenomenon by pointing out examples like Titanic, wherein the horrible tragedy wasn't powerful enough without a nice love story going on. He said it was "like giving Anne Frank a wacky roommate."
Me, I'm waiting for Secret of Nimh 4: More Cute Fuzzy Shit.
