When I worked for Disney at Buena Vista in the 1950's there was no meat on Fridays in the studio commissary because Disney was a Catholic, as were many of his execs, and they imposed this policy on everyone else.

This, of course, has now changed.

The Disney tradition changed significantly when Walt died. No doubt about it - Christian values do make a difference. Even today the Disney mystique is that of a happy good place as opposed to Universals's Hollywood Schlock approach.

Unfortunately for Eisner, the need to grow the conmpany took precedence. There was a real chance that German or other European or Japanese interests could have taken control of DIsney if they didn't act. So they bought ABC where Eisner worked origninally.

Eisner is a good guy underneath as was Walt. It's too bad the whole thing has grown so bloated and overdone that the original charm and simplistic morality has become lost in the fog. It looks like the purshuit of money is the root of all evil.
