"Studios" didn't (and Universal clearly didn't), Disney did:GeffreyDrogon wrote: ↑February 27th, 2024, 5:07 pmWhy did animation studios have a "no sequel policy" through the 1990's. The existence of theatrical sequels like The Rescuers Down Under, Fievel Goes West, and All Dogs Go To Heaven 2 seem to show otherwise.
After Disney's direct-video OVA market had been abused just like Disney's current live-action mania (ie. using them just to jumpstart the market for forgotten titles), John Lasseter put his foot down and banned any title-IP project that specifically pretended to follow the events of the classic movie.
Which threw ToonStudio's Tinker Bell movie into a last-minute tailspin, but things worked out.
And to answer your next question, this was in the 00s.
