List of Disney direct-to-video movies
This is a list of feature-length movies produced by Walt Disney Productions/The Walt Disney Company that were released directly to video with no theatrical run.
On June 21, 2007 Disney announced that following the release of The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning and Tinker Bell, they would no longer be making direct to video sequels to their theatrical releases. Many executives were upset over the lack of quality of the sequels and felt that they undercut the value of the originals. [1]
That statement was contradicted by the announcement of three direct-to-video sequels to the also direct-to-video Tinker Bell movie.
