Okay then, looks like Disney will die within my lifetime.
The critics don't care. Hell, they're probably THRILLED that Peltz lost because this will lead to Disney's total destruction. It was a win-win scenario for them.
Yea it's a tragic thing. Walts Vision fading into the past.
Disney died with Roy E. Disney.
I'm not a student of Disney history, so your post prompted me to do a little research. It sounds like Roy prevented Disney from being broken up was running things during the Disney Renaissance of the early 1990s, which is definitely the high point of the company in our lifetimes.
On the downside, his feud with Michael Eisner is what put Bob Iger in charge in the first place back in 2005. But that was probably inevitable anyway since Iger was Eisner's protege.
Am I the only one wondering how a couple of Jews have had a stranglehold on Walt Disney's company since the 1980s?
