What Bob did was just despicable, though what’s to be expected when this is the guy who used the F-word to a shareholder trying to persuasively convince him and others to release The Path to 9/11 (which he buried for political reasons), was told off by his shareholders regarding his anti-Christian bias on ESPN, and still promoting Gay Days (which was one of Eisner’s mistakes). I can’t believe Disney fans are actually saying that Iger was one of the better executives to Disney. He’s just as bad as Eisner, if not worse. And he also was the reason why we rarely GET 2D animation at Disney anymore. Heck, we’re barely even getting animated films now thanks largely to his insistence that we get live action remakes to old films.
Well, if there’s any consolation to all of this, it’s that Iger’s days are numbered at Disney, meaning once he retires, we’ll get an actual chance at getting a conservative into Disney, a true conservative hopefully, who will enact actual change. Then again, people said the same thing when Eisner was booted out, and we got Iger. Probably the only good thing Iger actually did for Disney is get Oswald the Lucky Rabbit back. That’s it.
Ugh, I received some bad news: Looks like Bob Iger may be pursuing extending his contract the third time in a row. Honestly, why can’t he just do us ALL a favor and leave Disney?!
