    Bob Iger: "‘We’ve got some pretty exciting things that we’ll be announcing over the next few months"

    When they made Ratatouille, the Disney buyout of Pixar was already in motion and it was just awaiting the BoD approval. A deal with Eisner was not possible due to the meddling of the idiot nephew and Stanley Gold.

    Bob Iger: "‘We’ve got some pretty exciting things that we’ll be announcing over the next few months"

    I agree with your assessment. Roy E. Disney's defection from the ranks weakened the position of the Disney company and was the direct cause of Eisner's ouster. The Disney shareholders got the shaft. It's interesting that in 1984 Roy E. Disney quit the company BoD and directly helped his...

    Bob Iger: "‘We’ve got some pretty exciting things that we’ll be announcing over the next few months"

    My assertion is that had the deal been left to Eisner, Disney would have gotten a much better deal. Of course, we'll never know because it didn't play out that way. Also, Jobs wanted much more than just a better deal. Jobs wanted to completely renegotiate the original deal and wanted full...

    Bob Iger: "‘We’ve got some pretty exciting things that we’ll be announcing over the next few months"

    "Author Bob Thomas, who wrote biographies of Roy Oliver as well as Walt, described Roy Edward as: "He isn't impressed with himself, or what he has done. He is essentially a very shy person. He was an only child, so the family doted on him. He also was always in the shadow of his uncle." Roy is...

    "Idiot Nephew" was Walt's euphemism for Roy E. Disney. Can I help it if Walt was right about this choice of words?

    Bob Iger: "‘We’ve got some pretty exciting things that we’ll be announcing over the next few months"

    That just goes to prove that Walt's brain was kept alive for at least two years after his official death!

    Bob Iger: "‘We’ve got some pretty exciting things that we’ll be announcing over the next few months"

    The bottom line is that the deal Steve Jobs agreed to in the beginning ended up being bad for Pixar toward the end of the deal. Jobs wanted to renegotiate the deal while Eisner wanted to keep the deal. Eisner had an overwhelming advantage because the contract gave Disney full ownership of the...

    Bob Iger: "‘We’ve got some pretty exciting things that we’ll be announcing over the next few months"

    Jobs had already shopped Pixar around to the other studios and no one would touch the deal that he was offering. Eisner knew that Jobs wanted to go with Disney and they were both playing high finance chicken. Then the idiot nephew jumped into the mess which ended up costing Disney (and the...

    Bob Iger: "‘We’ve got some pretty exciting things that we’ll be announcing over the next few months"

    Just the opposite. Eisner was negotiating the price for Pixar. Iger ended up paying a premium for Pixar because of the antics by the dumb nephew.
