Watch CNBC's full interview with former Disney CEO Michael Eisner

[@AMagicProduction]

If it wasn’t for Eisner Disney wouldn’t be around today. He, along with Roy Disney and Frank Wells saved the Walt Disney Company

[@martinnguyen2458]

I agree with you and Michael Eisner is supportive of Bob Iger as CEO to Disney. Nevertheless, Bob Iger is stepping down from his Disney CEO position.

[@Chiggs]

Sorry, but that's just not true. Michael Eisner nearly ruined Disney and chased out top talent. At one point he even wanted to fire Iger. There's a reason there was a shareholder revolt against this guy. Read Disney War and I doubt you'll be singing his praises.

[@prismstar438]

@@Chiggs Yes, but within the 80's to 90's, he certainly had a hand in creating the Disney Renaissance, saving the company from financial ruin. It was only after Frank Well's passing that things began to go awry fast for him.

He totally told Blockbuster to buy Netflix.

[@roseoris297]

He also wrote a memo to the board believing that Finding Nemo would fail.

[@nosrePnamuH]

@@roseoris297this was when he was directionless and he had no number 2 guy to guide him. He only said Nemo would fail because of his disdain over Pixar shopping to other studios. This was a 100% ego thing. The man needed Frank Wells.

[@RosebudKane41]

I know a few people who've met Eisner, they have all said he's a really nice laid back guy.

[@t_man7259]

not when he was in charge of Disney at least in the early 2000s

[@willm9608]

Apparently the character Lord Farquhar in Shrek is based off of him

[@19kilo241]

Will M that’s because Dreamworks (which made shrek) was founded by Kratzenberg who was Eisner’s former protege. They had a falling out after Eisner didn’t give him Frank Wells job.

I'd be terrified to stand in Disney's way. All their acquisitions so far are very impressive and the stock is massively undervalued if it all plays out the way it should.

[@Collector3476]

Michael Eisner should come back to Disney after Bob Iger officially retires after his two-year contract expires. He could lead the company again and I don't know why did he stepped down from his CEO position before handing the CEO title to Bob Iger.

[@Theeighthdoctor1996]

I think Roy Disney (nephew of Walt) with the help of his friends on the board of directors forced Eisner to stand down

[@georgeprchal3924]

He actually cared.

[@wes2262]

His biggest mistake was letting Kasenburg go. But he actually cared about Disney and a lot of hits were made under him

[@theintrovertedaspie9095]

Katzenberg left after he denied him a promotion. Either way if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have Shrek.

[@wes2262]

@@theintrovertedaspie9095 He deserved a promotion and his work proved it. Look at what happened after he left. Eisner and Kasenburg was the perfect combo until egos got involved

[@theintrovertedaspie9095]

@@wes2262 Nothing wrong with ego. Just don't let it get too big. Still, if it weren't for this, Shrek would've been a 2D animated film.

[@minewheaties5029]

His former Paramount boss and Mr. Burns inspiration Barry Diller has long been someone who Eisner has never been able to overpower. One advantage for Diller has been his decision to long maintain a low profile by not holding a fair share of interviews.

[@fizzyfuzz5878]

You have to give him his roses for how he led the company for the most part until Frank Wells died. Iger just buys other studios and makes them create their content for them that can often be really forced.

When did Disney see a profit, (Disney)…adventure,advertising.

[@MalvinderKaur-e7x]

The problem is not only new content, there is too much mediocre new content, made in haste because money flowed in from investors eager to fund so-called streaming ...so content has to be absorbing well written something new to say, and remote flicking bored audience must sit up and want to know the visual content on screen.
