Why exactly aren't The Little Mermaid: The Animated Series and Aladdin: The Series on DVD in box sets yet? I understand that most of the sales for The Disney Afternoon shows fizzled out on the second release but I would think Little Mermaid and Aladdin would be a different story because the source material (i.e. the feature films) are so well known amongst families. Not only would they get sales from fans of the shows but if the sets weren't too expensive soccer moms would pick them up for their kids even if they had never heard of them before. They'd certainly sell as well as all of those dozens of Disney Cheapquels they used to put out. What is the logic behind not releasing these? Help me out here.

By the way The New Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh should be released for the same reason although that might be a tougher sell because that show was aimed at slightly younger viewers. Still, there's no reason releases for TV shows based on cultural phenomenon like The Little Mermaid, Aladdin and Winnie the Pooh wouldn't sell like hotcakes.
