Eisner's mishandling Roy Disney's tenure, tarnishing the Disney name, will reignite shareholders who are already miffed at Eisner and sued Mikey for packing the board with his minions.

It had failed to bring the ABC television network's primetime schedule "back from the abyss", he wrote.

Does anyone remember that summer some years back when the big idea at ABC for re-vamping their image was to emphasize a particular shade of yellow in all their ads?

That's the last idea I can associate with ABC.

(Roy says company under Eisner "rapacious, soulless")

And I say the sooner DisneyPervLand closes the better.

Walt Disney surely is rolling over in his grave at the rampant sights and sounds of everything from homosexuality to wholesale violence, murder, rape, and mayhem and immorality dripping from anything produced by Disney in 2003.

Disney productions is an ideal example of the current state of the great American void of morality and decency.

What they produce is not fit for adults, let alone toddlers learning to walk, talk, read, and write. They have left everything even resembling the ideals of wholesome family entertainment Walt Disney is so well remembered for.

Let them go away - far, far away!

"A statement from the Disney board said Mr Disney had not been nominated for re-election to the board because of mandatory age limits. He is 73."

This is just plain ugly, even uglier coming from the Disney company. The "family entertainment" company is kicking "grandpa" off the board because he's old?

It's like little mikey is driving the wheelchair & dumping Roy over the cliff. Seeing as how mikey has a bum ticker, maybe he ought to be riding in the wheelchair instead of driving it.

But I don't think age is the real reason why mikey wants Roy gone. It's going to be interesting to watch how this plays out w/ stockholders.

After Eisner:

[Aquinasfan]

The company was seen by virtually everyone associated with it as "rapacious, soulless, and always looking for a quick buck rather than long-term value," Mr Disney said.

My feelings exactly.

Pixar is where Disney should be, not "Brother Bear."

Eisner's been selling out the Disney brand for short term gain for along time now, anyone with two eyes that was willing to look at the company could tell you that. Its a shame that the stock holders and major shareholders have been so short sighted in this matter.

Eisner should have been gone a long long time ago, he has far outlasted his usefulness to the long term viability of the company.

Anyone could have made money by creating cheap capitalization of poorly produced cartoons and "sequels" of the existing catalog of Disney characters and products.... and make the quick buck now, but the inevitable outcome is a long term decline in the brands image and reputation.

Disney has without question gone from a respected world wide brand known for largely high quality family entertainment into just another entertainment giant out for the quick buck... and its truly a shame.

Anyone know what 'Bad Santa' did at the box office this weekend? Please tell me it bombed....

Excellent find. Although this should read:

"rapacious, lascivious, soulless, and always looking for a quick buck"

[EverFree]

Hey Veronica, remember when you taught us that Disney and Eisner are just the best of friends, back when Eisner used claims of anti-semitism as an excuse to purge Easterbrook from ESPN for saying the same things that Roy Disney is now?

Remember how we cheered the twisting of Easterbrook's words around to mean the opposite of what he actually said?
That was so classic.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The minute Eisner is out Disney stock will go up like a rocket.

[Grampa Dave]

As the pink ribbon wearing and pushing Eisner forces Roy out of Disney, Roy decides to fight back.

Lets hope that the board forces Roy out and ignores him.


That will enable the vile super liberal, Eisner, to really disable Disney. Eventually that will get him fired.

If ABC/Jennings, Eisner can't enable $inator Hildebea$t or some other diseased RAT to be elected president, the big money people will pull the plug on ABC/JENNINGS/EISNER.

Eisner will be on the street shortly after GW is sworn in for his second term in 2005.

[Fair Paul]

This article makes me even more proud of the fact that I'm the one of the few middle class parents in America who hasn't taken their kids to Disneyland or Disneyworld.

[Dante3]

What a shame what Eisner had done with Disney.

[Lady Jag]

Bump for later read.

Must agree with you. Something really terrible happened at Disney.

[faithincowboys]

Gat a damn conservqative in there. You can't have somebody who hates what Walt built in there. Eisner is a deconstrunctionist, not a creator. They should also nix their deal with Miramax, Harvey is a RDDB with bank. He is pushing a far left agenda. He (at the behest of Bill and Hill) is now pushing Wes Clark, and has gotten Affleck and the other wind-up "actors" to jump on the bandwagon. J-lo is no doubt putting her assets behind the Clark campaign. Now Madonna (who also is a FOH) is pushing Clark. SCrew Harvey, Screw Clark, Screw the Clintons, Screw the FOHs and screw Eisner.

[afraidfortherepublic]

I don't know the ins andouts of this whole argument, but I wish that Mr. Disney had accused Eisner of perpetrating a fraud by applying the Disney name to movies and products that destroy our children's childhoods. I can no longer "blindly" take my grandchildren to see their movies, nor would I even suggest visiting their theme parks -- given the periodic "gay days" flaunted there.
