One of the inquiries John Lasseter made after becoming chief creative officer of both Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios was for the studio to only work on spin-offs like the Tinker Bell franchise and occasionally original films, which also canceled sequels from Disneytoon Studios (theatrical and direct-to-video ones) that officially had been underway or planned at the time, such as Pinocchio 2, Dumbo II, The Jungle Book 3, The Aristocats II, Aladdin 4, Hercules 2 and Mulan III, in addition more Disney Princess Enchanted Tales films.
