I can pretty easily tell that the image is an edited picture with the DVD cover in place of the baby being thrown into a well. Even ignoring that, the cover is really hard to see and it doesn't really convey why is the sequel inferior to the first one.

Pull. Maybe a side-by-side comparison between a film and their sequel?

Do any of the Disney sequels that fit this have Rotten Tomatoes ratings?

With or without the third film.

^^^ Hunchback II has 30% compared to the original's 74%.

But I'd go with Cinderella and the sequel- 97% drops to 11%

[nja]'d, suggestion also works.

The third one's Audience score is a bit too high for my taste. Also, how come?

Better use the Aladdin franchise as an example. The two sequels have consistently lower-than-fifty scores of both the critics and the audiences.

Spiral out, keep going.

...I like King of Thieves. Also, it's more of a series finale for the show.

I'd use the Hunchback comparison.

"Well, I liked it" is not much of an argument against using it.

The second statement, though, brings a good point: what does count as a sequel? Any full length feature? Do we count Christmas specials? Also, is it Sequelitis of there's only one sequel?

Spiral out, keep going.

[up]I like the layout of the image, but doesn't Sequelitis refer to overall series decline? I don't think showing just one sequel is sufficient for that.

Yeah, it'd be better to go with something that has multiple sequels if possible. Alternately, we could just have Tomatometer ratings of several works and their flopped sequels without all the other information like pictures from the works.

[up] (x8) Wait, WHAT? How in the world does Beauty And The Beast Belles Magical World have a 72% audience rating?

(checks Rotten Tomatoes)

Huh. Apparently, from what I gather, a significant number of positive audience reviews for this movie are actually reviews for the original Beauty and the Beast, and they all seem to be from 2008 or earlier. I guess that, when Rotten Tomatoes was just starting out, a lot of people posted their Beauty and the Beast reviews on the wrong page?

Anyways, I guess my point is that the audience rating is very erroneously skewed, which unfortunately blunts the effectiveness of 8.1 as an illustration of the trope. If we could edit out the audience ratings for the three movies and just show the professional critics' Tomatometer, perhaps it could work... but eh, I'm not too keen on all the blank space...

Checking the page, it seems that Santa Clause (on the main page) is actually a Disney movie.

Maybe just move that picture to this subpage?

Better than moving Santa Claus to Disney.
