Katzenberg cause that to himself. The dude was an assh*le everyone hated him (most notably Roy E Disney). Eisner isn’t a saint either btw. The one who really kept everything together was the late Frank Wells.
@@collierparker8213 I don't think anyone gets into these positions without being assholes, although Disney was pretty extreme in its internecine warfare among the execs.
Eisner was responsible for multiple injuries and deaths at Disneyland. His cost cutting measures such as replacing rope with fiberglass rope is what caused the Clipper Ship incident. Instead of rides being shut down for several days for a full routine maintenance, the ride would be down for hours instead which resulted with the death on Thunder Mountain.
That was not the first. Remember Mel Yorba? Or the female cast member who is crushed to death on America Sings? Splash Mountain should’ve gotten priority for maintenance. It did not. They let it fall apart along with everything else to justify turning it into a paean to hot sauce. The last time I saw it in operation and actually wrote it, it had the most diverse line I have ever seen for a Disney ride.
When Michael Eisner came to Disney in 1980's Breathed life into a failing brand. He is the reason it's in the position it is now. Without Him, Bob Igor would not have A Disney brand to work with.
And thanks to him, they are right back where they started from. Roy E Disney wanted the whole board of directors gone along with Eisner. Nelson Peltz is going for the board members who kiss Iger’s patootie the hardest, not Iger himself.
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.
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.
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!
Frank Wells was the bread, Michael Eisner was jam n jelly, and Jeffery Katzenburg was the peanut butter! Miss those guys running Disney back then. But, I'm thankful I got to experience what they accomplished together as a team back in the day!

2 yr later and you comment is spot on. As I often do, I was playing a game on my tablet and listening. I almost dropped the tablet (literally missed hitting an item) and jumped about a foot!!! And I didn't have headphones on. You poor thing!!!
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.
He saved the company, until 1994. His final years become the worst thing that happen to the company due to bad management decisions. Even Bob Iger cannot resolve them despite fixing Eniser's problems.
He made them worse because he doesn’t see them as problems. He was Eisner‘s hand-picked successor. Now, Iger refuses to name one and a bunch of candidates have left just because they don’t want to work with him anymore.
Eisner had his flaws, but I guarantee he is going to be remembered a lot more fondly in the long run than Bob Iger, who doesn't have a creative bone in his body.
It was really Lasseter, Lee, and the like who were helping him creatively. Cancel culture and death did them ‘part, so his reign suffered. The Rise and Fall of Iger would be pretty interesting.
I feel like Eisner did more good than evil. He was definitely a different flavor than the way "old" disney was, but "old" disney just wasn't working anymore. He was the right man for the right time.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Michael Eisner improving and innovating things within Disney started out good then later became disaster. Bob Iger bought other properties to help improve The Mouse House and it's fortunes.
Eisner definitely revitalized the animation and production studio as well as expand Disney's market. He took budgeting to far when it came to Disney parks offering cheap experiences opposed to immersive ones before I will give him credit for the introduction of ip's into the parks
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. They also dumbed down the title of *Basil of Baker Street* to *The Great Mouse Detective* after cutting the budget, and then they added that superfluous “adventures of” in rerelease.
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.
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.
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.
Everything after *Pocahontas* and *Hunchback* seems to have been penalized for those movies not getting as many Oscars as they hoped. It is not their fault that Oscar voters are biased against animation and perpetuate the myth that it is just for children.
The one nice thing I can say about Michael is that he had more respect for Walt Disney and his legacy and everything it stood for… shame said can’t be said for Bob Iger
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!
Is that how *the Facts of Life Reunion* (the one whose cast holdout *The Simpsons* predicted incorrectly) ended up a *Wonderful World of Disney* TV movie? Seeing Michael Eisner introduced that was absurdly hilarious because at the time that show was attracting the teenage audience who normally wouldn’t be caught dead at a Disney movie even with Matt Dillon in it, he was at Paramount when they were capitalizing on the success of its progenitor, *Diff’rent Strokes,* with another show about a mixed race family called *Webster.*
Read about this dude in Robert Greene's book the Laws of Human Nature, which gives it a really interesting spin, about how success went to Eisner's head. Thanks for the video!
if disney war book has been sold in books a million or library then i would've had read it i already knew about mr walt disney and roy disney history and i know oswald the lucky rabbit history 1920 disneyland open day 1955 wdw open day 1977 starwars movie popular 1970 2000s was the millennium celebration of wdw now 2009 captain eo in wdw no more and it sad to see it disappear now
Fantástico! Thank you. This explains why I lost interest in going to Disney World. Once it all felt like pure magic (including the quality of the park’s music) to me as a simple visitor. Now those goosebump sparkles are gone. Your report tells me why.
Nice Video! Subscribed! Agree with your assessment but feel Iger may be gaining ground. As more Disney history unfolds we'll see where they land but both men are remarkable in my book!
Thanks for the feedback, MJC. I am still considering several subjects for my next video, and the Bob Iger story is on that list. Be sure to subscribe for channel updates!
Fun fact,Roy Disney HATED Walt Disney and milked the family name for game and to settle grudges. He got rid of Disney like how he got rid of the man THE MAN Walt picked to be his successor! His son in law! His jealous nephew hated he didn't get it,because he felt non blood family,and a woman (Walt daughter) shouldn't lead,but a MAN should. -_- i don't know for sure but I'd assume Walt wouldn't like roy. Roy gave us Bob iger who uhh...yeah..treated George Lucas like shit,fired Pixars creator,and just remakes shit AND if lassitor didn't stop him,he woulda shut down Disney animation! Also Bob iger set a BAN on 2D animation for tv shows by Disney ever again in his reign -_-
Sooo interesting. I never considered that Roy was bitter about not being put in charge going all the way back to Walt's original choice for a successor. That adds a lot of clarity.
Actually, I'm glad that he fired John Lasseter, because Lasseter ruined Disney Animation with his delusional ideology, as it was evident when he ordered Frozen to be completely rewritten just to fit in the Oscar-winning song, Let It Go and make a woke version of the Snow Queen.
@@1992disney He's actually not responsible for Frozen at all. I don't think this is true because Lasseter was falsely accused of harrassment and the "woke" thing strikes back at him. Fools like you never get any research done.
It's absolutely disgusting how people praise Iger for making the same moves that Eisner is crucified for. It's Iger who's really turning Disney into a soulless corporate machine. Bunch of fucking hypocrites. Yeah things took a turn for the worse after Frank Wells died, but Eisner did a lot of truly wonderful things at Disney. 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.
Every creative mind/force has its peak period and then waning, unless new blood is not brought in, at this point Disney has content exhaustion with fox merger and them bringing in lot of it, it will be plateau time, because in global scheme of things, the Theme parks already have made footprints in quiet a few Nations, though Asia still is not in any theme park fever as yet. As far as entertainment content is considered, only time can tell as to what creative forces are brought in creating it.
He destroyed bear jamboree in Disneyland, mr toads wild ride at magic kingdom, abandoned 20,000 leagues under the sea at magic kingdom, removed the sky way, created tiki room under new management. He was definitely burnt out near the end of his run.
Eisner did well. He came in under a board fight, and left the same way... but overall he did save the company. Katz always seemed like an ass, but Eisner was great, but stayed too long. 😎
Maybe that will be my next video! He's currently running an investment company that finances different entertainment properties, including Netflix series and a football club in England.
In his "hairpin turn" master plan, - Michael Eisner is cleverly back with Disney - and is digging his claws in deeper - he is doing this by having bought TOPPS in 2007 - which Disney gave him a huge co-branding deal encompassing every Disney movie, including Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, Muppets and Disney Plus --- and - Eisner / Topps PRESENTED Destination D23 Disney at WDW in November 2021.
That what happens when one man ruling a country/company very very long time. He lost his flair for a good decisions and that why he was retired from Disney CEO
I would rate Iger over Eisner. Eisner's Paris parks missteps, leading to the mess that was California Adventure, along with his falling out with Jobs. He also didn't see what he had with Katzenberg leading to the creation of a rival with Dreamworks and the Ovitz hire was a complete disaster. Iger fixed the relationship with Jobs and Pixar-leading to purchase, followed it up with Marvel and Star Wars (Lucas).
discovery island was a completely separate location. it couldn’t keep up after AK was made so they closed it and moved the animals there to AK (and some to other zoos).
First off, I wanna Say, I love this man, and he is the 2nd best. What he did formed my childhood and in not mad at all. My second thought is, there is a history of Roy Disney kinda being an ass. Him an Walt argued a lot about business
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.
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.
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.
@@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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.

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.
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.
Now Lassiter has been MeTooed, Lee is a feminist joke and Fiege went woke
@Philip Kippel cute, anything else you've got cupcake?
Ron Miller was the one who put Helen Reddy in a movie musical.
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.
disneyland paris was the worst investment the company has ever made, and iger literally improved it with innovation... make it make sense
Michael Eisner improving and innovating things within Disney started out good then later became disaster. Bob Iger bought other properties to help improve The Mouse House and it's fortunes.
He's doing wonders for Portsmouth currently. the man is a legend in my book
Ben Tabbner 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️🔵
Ben Tabbner he’s a farquaad
Pup
He's doing a great job. I've been a fan of Portsmouth for years and have seen it all unfold over the years.
Eisner definitely revitalized the animation and production studio as well as expand Disney's market. He took budgeting to far when it came to Disney parks offering cheap experiences opposed to immersive ones before I will give him credit for the introduction of ip's into the parks
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. They also dumbed down the title of *Basil of Baker Street* to *The Great Mouse Detective* after cutting the budget, and then they added that superfluous “adventures of” in rerelease.
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.
The Walt Disney company during Eisner’s tenure was probably the golden age of the company
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.
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.
Treasure Planet was amazing. That's a pretty rough cut to say otherwise.
Everything after *Pocahontas* and *Hunchback* seems to have been penalized for those movies not getting as many Oscars as they hoped. It is not their fault that Oscar voters are biased against animation and perpetuate the myth that it is just for children.
Excellent commentary. Deals with the changes factually.
The one nice thing I can say about Michael is that he had more respect for Walt Disney and his legacy and everything it stood for… shame said can’t be said for Bob Iger
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!
Michael Eisner is doing a great job as chairman of my football club Portsmouth, really looking forward to the future under his ownership.
You have the recognize the good and the bad with Eisner's time at Disney.
Is that how *the Facts of Life Reunion* (the one whose cast holdout *The Simpsons* predicted incorrectly) ended up a *Wonderful World of Disney* TV movie? Seeing Michael Eisner introduced that was absurdly hilarious because at the time that show was attracting the teenage audience who normally wouldn’t be caught dead at a Disney movie even with Matt Dillon in it, he was at Paramount when they were capitalizing on the success of its progenitor, *Diff’rent Strokes,* with another show about a mixed race family called *Webster.*
It was the partnership with Frank Wells that created the rebirth. The companies momentum peaked in 1994, the year Wells died.
Michael Eisner is One of the Best Disney CEO at the Time.
The best and worst
atlantis the lost empire and pete dragon black cauldron sword and the stone emperor new groove is underrated disney movie now :(
Read about this dude in Robert Greene's book the Laws of Human Nature, which gives it a really interesting spin, about how success went to Eisner's head. Thanks for the video!
He looks like the kind of guy who has an uncontrollable ego. I heard about him in a book I was reading and searched for the fall of Michael Eisner
Eisner may have made some mistakes at Disney, but one can't deny the role he played with the foundation that was the 'Disney Renassaince' period!
Came here after hearing about the book DisneyWar
if disney war book has been sold in books a million or library then i would've had read it i already knew about mr walt disney and roy disney history and i know oswald the lucky rabbit history 1920 disneyland open day 1955 wdw open day 1977 starwars movie popular 1970 2000s was the millennium celebration of wdw now 2009 captain eo in wdw no more and it sad to see it disappear now
This is a great video. Keep up the great work. You should have way more subs!
Fun fact, George Lucas based Anakin on Eisner
😂😂😂 That's a joke, right?
For real- is this true?
No
Obviously the dudes trolling
@@fridaynightnicktoons6885 no, I'm super cereal about this
Wonderful doc!
There's no denying Eisner did great things for Disney, but he got to much control over it and that eneded being his undoing at the company.
He stayed too long at the fair.
Excelente video, muchas gracias!
Fantástico! Thank you. This explains why I lost interest in going to Disney World. Once
it all felt like pure magic (including the quality of the park’s music) to me as a simple visitor. Now those goosebump sparkles are gone. Your report tells me why.
Nice Video! Subscribed! Agree with your assessment but feel Iger may be gaining ground. As more Disney history unfolds we'll see where they land but both men are remarkable in my book!
Great video. I want to know more about Bob I And his story.. Any chance in something like that coming up?
Thanks for the feedback, MJC. I am still considering several subjects for my next video, and the Bob Iger story is on that list. Be sure to subscribe for channel updates!
Bob iger is the Antichrist. Banned 2d animation from Disney and ruined star wars and fired Pixar ceo
BOB IGOR RUINED STAR WARS NOT JUST KATHLEEN do you think the prequels are better? :)
Fun fact,Roy Disney HATED Walt Disney and milked the family name for game and to settle grudges. He got rid of Disney like how he got rid of the man THE MAN Walt picked to be his successor! His son in law! His jealous nephew hated he didn't get it,because he felt non blood family,and a woman (Walt daughter) shouldn't lead,but a MAN should. -_- i don't know for sure but I'd assume Walt wouldn't like roy. Roy gave us Bob iger who uhh...yeah..treated George Lucas like shit,fired Pixars creator,and just remakes shit AND if lassitor didn't stop him,he woulda shut down Disney animation!
Also Bob iger set a BAN on 2D animation for tv shows by Disney ever again in his reign -_-
Sooo interesting. I never considered that Roy was bitter about not being put in charge going all the way back to Walt's original choice for a successor. That adds a lot of clarity.
Actually, I'm glad that he fired John Lasseter, because Lasseter ruined Disney Animation with his delusional ideology, as it was evident when he ordered Frozen to be completely rewritten just to fit in the Oscar-winning song, Let It Go and make a woke version of the Snow Queen.
Your name sounds really ridiculous enough.
@@1992disney He's actually not responsible for Frozen at all. I don't think this is true because Lasseter was falsely accused of harrassment and the "woke" thing strikes back at him. Fools like you never get any research done.
@@poweroffriendship2.0 Oh really? Shills like you are part of the reason why both Disney and Lucasfilm are ruined.
It's absolutely disgusting how people praise Iger for making the same moves that Eisner is crucified for. It's Iger who's really turning Disney into a soulless corporate machine. Bunch of fucking hypocrites. Yeah things took a turn for the worse after Frank Wells died, but Eisner did a lot of truly wonderful things at Disney. 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.
Great video.
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.
If Michael Eisner didn’t pinch so many pennies, Abraham Lincoln would be the eighth dwarf!
Nice content brou :) Hope to see you soon
Story of a man with a great ego who would never listen and never admit he was wrong...
typical man.
@@asmrtpop2676 take your daddy issue elsewhere.
That is why he needed Wells. They made a good team.
Is Roy Disney related to Eli ( not sure if the spelling) who lived in Barrie Ontario?
I didn't see Eli or his friends the last time I visited Barrie and the fries 🍟 store Smokes was closed
Where he loved to eat fries/ poutine
I subscribed because of this video 👍🏼
I love michael eisner. His disney was my childhood. Lol
5 years later, I think it's pretty clear the Isner area way killer compared to the literal nothing-burger or Iger.
Iger is just succeeding from the things isner made. He made Disney what it is
Peter Griffin: you betrayed the shareholders!
Every creative mind/force has its peak period and then waning, unless new blood is not brought in, at this point Disney has content exhaustion with fox merger and them bringing in lot of it, it will be plateau time, because in global scheme of things, the Theme parks already have made footprints in quiet a few Nations, though Asia still is not in any theme park fever as yet. As far as entertainment content is considered, only time can tell as to what creative forces are brought in creating it.
Pirates of the caribbean and the lion king are the best disney movies ever
You watch Primm’s Hood Cinema?
Informative if I do say so myself.
He destroyed bear jamboree in Disneyland, mr toads wild ride at magic kingdom, abandoned 20,000 leagues under the sea at magic kingdom, removed the sky way, created tiki room under new management. He was definitely burnt out near the end of his run.
Eisner did well. He came in under a board fight, and left the same way... but overall he did save the company. Katz always seemed like an ass, but Eisner was great, but stayed too long. 😎
Mostly negative? The man saved a company I made someone make another company to create Shrek that alone is more positive than most CEOs could dream
What a charcuterie board of information, I can better digest my childhood.
what does he do now
Maybe that will be my next video! He's currently running an investment company that finances different entertainment properties, including Netflix series and a football club in England.
Walt's Wisdom that football club is the club that I support Portsmouth and Eisners is doing a grand job in running my football club.
splash mountain tron and robin hood has a disney movie made by michael eisner now?
hercules and lion king are both highest disney grossing movie film of all time now aladdin beauty and the beast little mermaid
lion king was beaten by frozen which was beaten by zootopia so no.
You should do more of these videos rather than just posting footage of Walt Disney’s talks
In his "hairpin turn" master plan, - Michael Eisner is cleverly back with Disney - and is digging his claws in deeper - he is doing this by having bought TOPPS in 2007 - which Disney gave him a huge co-branding deal encompassing every Disney movie, including Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, Muppets and Disney Plus --- and - Eisner / Topps PRESENTED Destination D23 Disney at WDW in November 2021.
japan created kingdom heart 2005?
I just don't know if I can forgive him for dinoland
1998 disneyland eisner era and 2005 eisner era for indiana jones pirate of the caribbean and even trons now
That what happens when one man ruling a country/company very very long time. He lost his flair for a good decisions and that why he was retired from Disney CEO
Bob Iger needs to go.
We'd rather have Trump or someone like him who can undo all traces of Crooked Bob and Make Disney Great Again.
The Real-Life Lord Farquaad..
I would rate Iger over Eisner. Eisner's Paris parks missteps, leading to the mess that was California Adventure, along with his falling out with Jobs. He also didn't see what he had with Katzenberg leading to the creation of a rival with Dreamworks and the Ovitz hire was a complete disaster.
Iger fixed the relationship with Jobs and Pixar-leading to purchase, followed it up with Marvel and Star Wars (Lucas).
I wish Iger took risks other than spending billions on buying other movie studios.
animal kingdom used to be discovery island and now we call it animal kingdom now :)
discovery island was a completely separate location. it couldn’t keep up after AK was made so they closed it and moved the animals there to AK (and some to other zoos).
Yeah
if i see katzenberg irl, its on sight
First off, I wanna Say, I love this man, and he is the 2nd best. What he did formed my childhood and in not mad at all. My second thought is, there is a history of Roy Disney kinda being an ass. Him an Walt argued a lot about business
Michael Eisner, relog from account pls
Wayyyy legend
disney bought lucasfilm 2012 mgm studio is from the golden age where we call it disney hollywood studio now :)
indiana jones cinderella snow white michael eisner became a legend after mr walt disney now :)
I prefer Eisner to Iger, but that's just my opinion.
“You either resign a hero, or you remain CEO long enough to see yourself become the villain.”
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-.
Thoughts on chapek?
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 🇺🇸
HOWARD ASHMEN
Disney needs Michael Eisner back and to get rid of Iger and his wokester supporters on the board and in management.
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.
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.
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.
@@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
@@t_man7259 Oh we will have someone running Disney in the future who doesn't care about money. It'll be me.
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!
He stuck around too long and that last 7-8 years really ruined his legacy.
Eisner at his worst is still better than Iger at his best
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
Hubris
ATTENTION: GIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST OR HELL IS YOUR FINAL RESTING PLACE
Freddie Stranger don't tell me how to live my life!!! 😂😂😂
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.
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.
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
@Philip Kippel great comeback.ignore fact and throw insults. Also you said that 3x already troll. Iger sucks get over it.
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.
All he did was buy out stuff because Eisner gave Disney so muh money. Iger made Disney soul less
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.
