I have a feeling that Bob Iger's days are numbered. He's been a competent Disney CEO for such a long time, but it's clear that his low-risk business strategies are not paying off like they used to. I'm not afraid to say that I miss the wild times of Michael Eisner. He made so many great decisions and so many terrible decisions; you've really got to hand it to him for constantly taking crazy risks. It really seems like he was the last of the creative executives.
Iger made a statement about Disney's recent financial failures that's getting everybody in a tizzy. He said, "Creators at Disney have lost sight of what their jobs should be: entertain first, not messages." He also added that stories infused with "positive messages for the world" can be great but that it shouldn't be the primary job. While it's true that good virtues don't always translate to good art, I don't know if meaningless slop will save the Disney animation studios. If you are counting down the days until Disney finds a non-Chapek successor, these Disney memes might make you laugh a bit.
