Hell hath frozen under Disney's spot.

Disney is scrapping direct-to-DVD sequels. (AP/MercuryNews)

Which means after "The Little Mermaid 3" we can stop hearing about these crappy sequels.  About time!

How did this come about?  Well, Apple CEO Steve Jobs also ran Pixar, and Disney bought Pixar.  Steve thus became Disney's largest shareholder and a spot on the Disney board...

...and used it for good, because in 2003 Jobs said "We feel sick about Disney doing sequels.  If you look at the quality of their sequels... it's pretty embarrassing."

Thank you Steve!

Holy dook! Hehe. You sure you didn't just threaten to crush the board of directors under your massive massiveness? ;) Hehe. Glad to see Steve Jobs putting his foot down on those Sequels though. Maybe now we won't get another Air Bud sequel.

This is the second thing we have to thank Steve Jobs for. Without his supporting Roy Disney, they would have NEVER gotten rid of Michael Eisner, the jackass responsible for the current sad state of Disney. To bad it seems like its gonna take forever to clean up his mess.
