Eisner is no longer running Disney. There is no doubt in my mind that Eisner was THE catalyst behind the company openly promoting not only a gay agenda, but adopting anti-family tones in many of its products.

The first thing that happened when Eisner was ousted is the company (at least publicly) dumped the pc stuff and got back to its core buisness: producing family entertainment. The current people in charge understand that Disney makes its money from famalies, and they have gone out of their way not to offend famalies (at least with any product that actually has the Disney name on it, some of the Touchstone picture products are iffy.)

Hence the reason the Disney boycott has ended.

This seems like a solid aqusition for Disney. It allows them to appeal to a segment they were missing in their current offerings (boys, of all ages really.) How many boys watch the Disney channel? Look for some new shows based on the Marvel characters (does this give them enough to start a new animated channel?)

The end of the Iron Man and recent Hulk movies hinted at a new movie containing several Marvel characters. No doubt it will be a blockbuster that will produce huge secondary sales in toys, etc...

I remember all of the hoopla and looking at what Eisner did, I don't see it as a gay agenda but more along the lines of making money through any avenue possible, to the point of cheapening the brand and nearly ruining the company (including driving away some families).

Now that John Lasseter and the Pixar/Apple folks are running Disney Animation and Disney Imagineering, the quality of the film/animation products has started to rise, and Lasseter is overseeing a rejuvenation of the theme parks.
