Frank Wells really seems like an under appreciated guy in all these stories. Like people always mention that he’s the balance to Eisner’s star-making insanity, but he seems like a really cool guy. I’m sure he had some sort of reason for it but when being presented with a great job and being enough of a bro to say “pick the other guy, he’s got what you need” is really something rare to see. So glad they got both guys together.

And yet, the question of "What Walt would do?" never ended. It just got passed onto the fanbase, who sometimes accused the company of using IPs instead of inventing its own characters, as Walt would do (or so these people say, anyway). And with Star Wars and Marvel in the company now, it seems the question of "What Walt would do?" is spoken louder than ever.

How can anyone dislike this series? Rob has done a Fantasmic! job explaining what happened in great detail by choosing the most interesting and important parts in this hectic situation. Each video could have been 45 minutes to an hour long each but Rob was wonderful by breaking up the whole ordeal into a 5 part series and by keeping each video an average of about 14 minutes when they could have been exponentially longer. Again, like always, you did a great job and please keep it up. I look forward to watching your next videos!

Great series Rob! As I remarked, I remember when that "drama" unfolded. I was then and still AM a Disney fan. Not a lot of companies (even booze purveyors) can boast being 100 or nearly 100 years old. Navigating through world wars, depressions, recessions, attempted takeovers Unionization, and even the "good times" can have its downsides. I do remember when Eisner, like Uncle Walt would introduce the Wonderful World of Disney. It returned my "childhood" Sunday into my adulthood Sunday with the same giddy enthusiasm I had as and 8 year old kid! Yes! Even with the challenges of TODAY. Disney will survive this storm. I'll be at Walt Disney World next year for its 50th! I remain your friend, Michael T.
