Eisner DID save the Disney Company via the power given him by the Bass Bros & Roy.
Not quite, my good Pirate!! And what of Frank! Nothing!? Now, lets see
What did Ei$ner really do?
OH! YES!! He totally screwed up EuroDisney!! Yes! He did do that. Good save there, wasnt it? What else
YES! He sold a lot of videos Ah! Well! No! That was Frank. What else?
YES!! He put out little Mermaid!! Ah, well no again! That was a project started by Walker/Miller and completed by Katzenberg! OK! Lets try again
OH!! Of course! He started Touchston
No. I guess he didnt. That was Walker/Miller AGAIN! Ok. Lets really think hard now
Lets see
Ummmmm
.. Well
Hey! There isnt anymore!! Unless, of course, you count overbuilding WDW, randomly, haphazardly, with total disregard to infrastructure and transportation. I guess you can also count the nearly limitless price hikes, building half size parks, DCA, Dinorama, Pre$$ler, (am I forgetting anything
oh yeah!) and the absolute disregard he has for any of the parks or the CMs as exemplified by the cutting of Traditions!! (And I didnt even mention the SUCK-O hours or the most important, the radical change in philosophy from a customer oriented service into a commodity driven profit center (all the while STEALING nearly a BILLION dollars for his own pocket!)
Yeah boy!! That was one heck of a white knight that rode in to save the company!!! Another save like that we really can kiss it goodbye!!
I believe you have Ei$neriti$...
You are right! But I come by it honestly! I LOVE the Walt philosophy! And Ei$ner has infected it!!
(ps: Come on! Admit it Mr. Pirate. It was fun putting the $ in Ei$neriti$, wasnt it?)
Landbaron, first off, you scare me
I dont mean to. I just have a passion for Walts philosophical way of doing business. I dont care much for stock quote, billion dollar distribution deals or any of the other nonsense that takes away from the core philosophy that brought me to the dance in the first place. I dont know what captivated you about Disney enough to post on a website, but for me it was a real chandelier in a fifty cent hot dog joint. It was Mickey head butter. It was a real tree in a restaurant that tried to (and did) evoke an outdoor feeling. It was about all the little things that Ei$ner & crew has taken away from us over the past twenty years.
From your age, you never experienced it. What you see in Disney today is a mere shadow of what it once was. That is why I encourage you to go back and do a little listening and learning. Youve really got a lot of catching up to do. From about 1955 or so. Learn it!! It is an amazing story.
You "literally salivate for the opportunity" to come face to face with Michael Eisner and I take from your comment that you assume you would win?
Not necessarily. I would just like to vent!! He has been a thorn in my side since July of 1998! And the more I learn about him, the more I am convinced that he single-handedly, and greedily, destroyed MY Disney (Yes! I claim ownership since 1968!!!)
LISTEN to those who know" - is this a reference to yourself, or is it a reference to people like Diane Disney, who said that Eisner had done at least some good things in the past (to which I was referring)? Or both?
Both. But not necessarily me as there are others here who know far more than me!! But with all (including myself) with a grain of salt. Or at least a perspective of their agenda.
But while were on subject I would like to know what good things he did? I maintain that there was nothing of substance that HE did. OH! There was some that was already in place. And some that the Imagineers slipped by him. But there was NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING that he did on his own that was ever any good! If you disagree, please point it out! Others have tried. NONE have succeeded!
Have fun!
