[@cajayson8301]

I credit Frank Wells with being the one who saved Disney. He was restrained and knew how to push the innovative, creative envelope. In contrast, Eisener was a micromanaging egomaniac who often put his faith in poorly or mixed received projects (think Dick Tracy) while eschewing the quality ones (Toy Story, Pirates of the Caribbean, Pretty Woman). It's not surprising that, after Frank Wells died and Eisner was left to his own, that the creativity in Disney began to flounder.

[@Attmay]

Katzenberg seemed to lose the favor of Roy E. Disney even faster than Eisner did. The four of them were like a table, and that table went from four legs to two, and it could not stand. That is the same analogy Betty White once used to describe why *The Golden Palace* was not as successful as *The Golden Girls* without Dorothy after she broke the pact she made in the first episode by moving out.

[@cajayson8301]

[@G.L.999]

Katzenberg was also the reason Disney's relationship with Robin Williams was strained nearly beyond reconciliation. It wasn't until Eisner terminated Katzenberg from his position and gifted Williams a Picasso painting as an apology gift for causing the rift between them that Williams returned to voice 'The Genie' again for the Aladdin tv show that things began to thaw between them!

[@milkmanx]

Jeffery Katzenberg saved Disney with the Animation department. Bob Iger improved Disney’s live-action studio with Marvel. Before Iger the Disney live action Studios was trash and they mostly relied on Miramax to produce award winning films

[@Attmay]

Ron Miller started it. There was no good reason he should have become the butt monkey of Disney history. For all the things he could’ve done differently, he is responsible for putting Disney on the path to the modernization. It started at the end of the 1970s when they started putting money back into animation that the company had largely starved it of since *Sleeping Beauty,* adding adult themes to live-action movies and TV shows, making WDW a multi-gate attraction, sealing the deal for the first non-American Disney theme park, getting into home video and cable TV, and earning an Oscar nomination for Jessica Lange. This was also when the Disney/Paramount two-movie coproduction deal happened for *Popeye* and *Dragonslayer.* Disney got the better end of that deal when those movies made more money overseas.

[@Attmay]

Speak for yourself. *Never Cry Wolf, Splash,* and *Country* are a far cry from the live-action gimmick comedies of ten years earlier. Walt would not have allowed that to go on as long as they did without him, and Ron Miller recognized that. Diane Disney Miller did, too. They were not even speaking at the breakfast table when the last Herbie movie came out. “Old” Disney wasn’t always old, either. It was new when it was new, and when it was new, there was nothing like it before. That’s why I can’t blame them for wanting to keep it alive.

[@shireknight01]

In my eyes Eisner is a hero, my first ever trip to WDW was Christmas 1997 and I can only describe the place as the happiest place on Earth, I've been back four more times since then and each time I feel the place has dropped it's standards a little bit each time, on one of my visits in (I believe it was 2006) I even remember cast members talking to us while we were standing in a queue for a ride and they were openly complaining about wages and how they were being poorly treated, I was shocked to hear Disney employees talking like this when just a decade earlier everyone (staff included) was so happy.

[@unchallengedmediocrity7886]

Bob Iger is good at buying stuff. Michael Eisner is good at improving and innovating. 2021 Edit: After thinking it over, my current view of Michael Eisner is a little more grey. While he certainly benefited Disney for a good chunk of his run, he definitely went downhill towards the end. While I still prefer him over Iger (especially considering what happened with Star Wars), he certainly wasn't perfect.

Are you kidding? They were going to cut and run and let *The Black Cauldron* be the end of the line, sink or swim, and they tied a rock to it in post-production by cutting it up to ensure it sank.

You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain. Had Michael Eisner retired at the end of the Disney Renaissance and just as the WDC was getting into the cruise business, Eisner would’ve been a Disney Legend as well as having museums dedicated to him both within the company and elsewhere. Unfortunately, he went from creative and risk-taker to cheap and “anything with a Disney name is good enough”. Eisner’s appointments to various management posts within Disney post-Frank Wells were all the bean-counting type and 100% loyal to him only. So instead of having leaders who are dedicated to their craft and passion, Eisner had a bunch of appeasers who just wants to show their booming quarterly profits thanks to cost cutting and deferred maintenance. While Bob Iger is not the creative type, he at least does not micromanage every Disney department and his relatively hands off approach has allowed the WDAS to enter a new Revival Era and the Parks are seeing unprecedented expansions. People like Kevin Feige, John Lasseter, Jennifer Lee, etc would’ve never been able to show their talents to the world under Eisner.

[@yamato6114]

In my opinion, it wasn’t Eisner, or Iger, or even Walt alone there made Disney great. It was teamwork. A bunch of people who come together with their strengths and work alongside one another to balance their flaws. Walt was a creative man. He took risks and innovated. But he was also pushy, harsh, and impulsive. Thankfully, he had his older brother Roy alongside him to manage the finances and reign him in whenever he was going too far. The Renaissance worked so well because Eisner, Katzenberg, and Wells were all working together. Katzenberg and Eisner were ambitious, but ultimately both were egotistical and temperamental. Wells was a humble voice that put a check on their power. It’s no surprise that things started falling apart when Wells died. Iger worked in a time when Disney needed financial stability. However he doesn’t have the creative know how to take the company in a new direction. Therefore the last two decades were spent merely using other subsidiaries as crutches. We need that teamwork again. Which unfortunately is becoming exceedingly rare in corporate America.

[@blouburkette]

I'm a biiiiigggg Eisner fan. I was very happy to hear that he is considered to be second only to Walt because I feel the same. Have you read Disney War! by James B. Stewart? Pretty good. If anyone has any info on the deal with Square Enix and Kingdom Hearts I would love to hear it. It's the only item of his tenure I know little about, and can't find much about it. It's a baffling choice but I must know more!

[@milkmanx]

Eisner was great until 2001 where Disney was releasing a string of bad direct to dvd sequels, poorly made films (except for Pixar), and refused to renew Pixar’s contract and instead wanted to start up a fake Pixar studio that’ll produce multiple sequels to films they already own like Toy Story and Finding Nemo. In the early days Eisner was the champion of home video, expanded the parks, and grew the Disney channel and ABC Studios. Bob Iger took Disney to the next-generation, he improved Disney’s CGI animated films under John Lassiter and rebuilt Disney’s live-action department. He grew the parks, and started Disney+. He bought Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 20th Century Fox. Iger has done a lot for Disney, but just like Eisner’s last years, the quality at Disney is starting to dip.

[@ronpavlacka5825]

Excellent commentary. Deals with the changes factually.

[@Attmay]

The greatest irony of Disney having trouble adjusting to the first decade or so without Walt around was that the people who were running the company at the time were put there by Walt. They basically starved the film division to pay for the parks, and it was basically at the now-or-never point that they changed that. By my estimation, that was the middle of the decade. The 14 recycled minutes of animation in *Robin Hood* was the wake-up call (with a literal rooster) to start putting money back into the animation department. *The Rescuers* restored some, but not all, of the budget cuts Woolie agreed to when Walt died to keep the department open. *Pete’s Dragon* almost didn’t have any animation at all and only got 22 minutes of it like the two hybrids before it because Don Bluth lobbied for it. He missed out on *Bedknobs and Broomsticks* by mere months and was away from the studio in the 1960s after working there on *Sleeping Beauty,* so he missed the last years of Walt’s life and everything made during that time period. When *The Rescuers* proved the studio’s biggest success in 1977, that set the tone for the next few years. But incremental improvements were not good enough for Don Bluth, so he went solo and took a dozen or so fellow travelers with him. His replacements and those who stuck with the studio through the lean years reaped the rewards of doing so, but then they threw it all away to copy competition that only exists because of them and what they once were.

He oversaw the Disney Renaissance, built two new theme parks and two new water parks at WDW, numerous well-themed hotels, took Disney to Broadway, helped revitalize Times Square, created the Disney Cruise Line, founded the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim and even bought the Angels helping turn Angel Stadium into one of the best parks in baseball.

Michael Eisner had an imperial management style. He was also a penny pincher and believed that Disney could create its own talent and content. They didn't want the expensive packages which Ovitz's CAA was pushing at them and produced films at a cheaper cost which produced larger profit margins. Also, any major acquisitions they did during Eisner's era were few and far between but it did deliver on Eisner's ultimate vision. Bob Iger management style was more harmonious and got rid of the internal politics. Unlike Eisner, Iger believed that Disney's branding can be enhanced through M&A, which he did a lot of namely Marvel, Lucas films and Pixar. These three acquisitions itself produced hundreds of millions in profit and billions in market value. More than what Eisner could ever achieve. Iger left at a high, while Eisner held on to his position until he couldn't. Both men did it their own way. I would say Iger did a great job, but he couldn't have built Disney without Eisner's two decades of work.

Disney needs Michael Eisner back and to get rid of Iger and his wokester supporters on the board and in management.

[@MovieEnforcer]

I miss Michael Eisner. He wasn't perfect and he had his flaws, but A FAR superior CEO to Bob Iger. I'm going to give Michael Eisner an A-.

[@noneofyourbusiness1114]

Thoughts on chapek?

[@athoscolon8629]

He wasn’t perfect at least I like the original 1992 Aladdin that was a good song in the end credits and Princess Jasmine with her sassy Princess Jasmine like just her gorgeous eyes 👀 Back whenever you had real Valentine’s Day music 🎶 I miss those glory days music in the 90s was so much better that’s why it’s better to stick with classic films I took a picture of blockbuster Row into Riodoso New Mexico USA 🇺🇸

Trust me in the last 15 years Iger has had more good then bad. Good: Saving Disney Animation by buying Pixar. Disney Revival born. Fixing Disastrous parks like WDS, Hong Kong and DCA. Bought Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and Fox. Disney Live Action finally had impact with films like The Muppets, Jungle Book and Tron Shanghai Disneyland being a success. Bad Over Reliance of Pixar, Star Wars and Marvel IP in parks instead of characters of Disney Animation or create original ride idea (this is more of a issue on the US Parks) While successful, the 2019 Disney Lineup is all remakes and sequels. This more on the film divisions than corporate since they have creative freedom. Unknown; Disney+ Streaming service.

[@t_man7259]

because apparently he cares a little more about content than Esiner and not just profits sure profit is still the most important thing obviously, but Iger at least somewhat cares about content.

[@stanfordite]

Oh please, Iger has been a cancer upon Disney. Buying Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm were all mistakes and the buying Fox story is fake news. Disney was blocked from doing so. I look forward to Congress dismantling Disney under antitrust law. I plan on seizing Disney in a hostile takeover and making it great again by being the Donald Trump it needs.

[@t_man7259]

@@stanfordite I honestly agree with that yes buying out all the properties is rather disturbing but I highly doubt Disney will ever be run by someone who doesn't only care about money

[@stanfordite]

@@t_man7259 Oh we will have someone running Disney in the future who doesn't care about money. It'll be me.

[@1992disney]

Iger has done more good than bad?! Seriously! He's down more harm to Disney than good! He cares more about money and identity politics than creativity, originality, the entire fanbase, and even Walt and Walt's legacy! He's literally the worst CEO the company has ever had! He's nothing but a total disgrace! He even doesn't care about his employees at all!

Well michael was highly delusional man due to the attention he was getting from the people... pursuing great feats forgetting to reconnect with reality and became impractical to the business, which cause of him his downfall

Eisner was not a genius. When he came to Disney they needed cash more than anything else. Their squeaky-clean image kept them from making lucrative-but-trashy films. Eisner's two big ideas were to exploit an emerging Home Video market he did not create, and to make Touchstone pictures so Disney could make movies Walt never would have approved (for the most part). Disney made a fortune distributing Pixar films (again made by Pixar, not Disney), and it was Eisner's heavy-handed tactics that almost severed the Disney Pixar relationship. The guy was a dick.

[@browsertab]

While I will also thank the Eisner years for giving the world Roger Rabbit and Aladdin, Bob Iger has turned the company into one of the most powerful American brands that truly rivals the scope of what Walt wanted to accomplish.

[@fridaynightnicktoons6885]

Walts quotes point out he hates HATES REMAKES and sequels,look it up. Also I doubt Walt would like the banning of 2D animation,or a man praised by Roy Disney,a man who harrassed his daughter and his son in law.-_- Bob iger is a good investor but he hates Creativity and porbably masterbates to charts all day. Never going with creativity. Just kills Disney legacy like2D animation,mickey sorceror hate in Disney world ECT ect

[@fridaynightnicktoons6885]

@Philip Kippel great comeback.ignore fact and throw insults. Also you said that 3x already troll. Iger sucks get over it.

[@TheScientist408]

Bob Iger is the second best man to lead the Walt Disney Company. Iger took Disney to another level, and the single biggest reason is his acquisition of Marvel.

[@fridaynightnicktoons6885]

All he did was buy out stuff because Eisner gave Disney so muh money. Iger made Disney soul less

[@stanfordite]

Crooked Bob Iger is the worst thing to ever happen to Disney, and after I seize Disney in a hostile takeover, I will be making Disney great again by being the Donald Trump it needs and destroying everything Iger worked for in a policy of De-Igerfication. Disney should never have been allowed to buy Marvel and Congress will be taking Marvel away from Disney along with Pixar, Lucasfilm, ABC, ESPN, and everything Iger bought when they break up Disney. A little something called antitrust. All the media giants will be getting destroyed by Congress under antitrust. And speaking of Trump, I'd rather have Trump running Disney than Iger or Crooked Bob Chapek any day. Disney under my rule will be asking "what would Walt do?" again to make decisions and surviving on its name alone. Nobody will miss Disney ownership of Marvel, Pixar, or Star Wars and Disney will learn its place in the world as nothing but an animation studio with some theme parks. I'm also writing a book about both Crooked Bobs and filling it with slanderous attacks against not only the two of them to destroy their careers, but their wives and children too. I will destroy the entire Iger and Chapek families and make sure they never work in show business again like William Randolph Hearst came that close to destroying the career of Orson Welles as revenge for Citizen Kane.
