I’d actually love to see The Battle of the Bobs at a Ren Faire. But, I imagine Chapek would just hide in a bush.It's not ceremonial. He is undergoing jousting training as we speak.

Chapek has an unfair advantage. He can use his head effectively as a spotlight by reflecting the sun into his opponents' eyes, rendering them temporarily blind.I’d actually love to see The Battle of the Bobs at a Ren Faire. But, I imagine Chapek would just hide in a bush.
True but multiple movies and studios have filmed there. The James Bond movies immediately come to mind.If we're just ignoring the overall cultural impact of Disney in the UK over Iger's tenure, then we can directly point to the Disney movies filmed at Pinewood Studios, which is just outside of London. That includes every Star Wars film since Disney has taken over Lucasfilm. Andor also filmed elsewhere in England and at Pinewood. Disney currently is in the middle of a 10 year lease on the studio. Some articles estimate the economic impact of the productions at over $100m per year just for the Star Wars movies. Which is very in line with other production impact studies elsewhere, so probably accurate.
Here's a list of everything filmed there, not only Disney but you can see the Disney films there isn't a short list.

Displaying with pride….I’m gonna go with the King’s new portrait.
You asked for 'what he did'. Thats one thing that can be pointed to directly.True but multiple movies and studios have filmed there. The James Bond movies immediately come to mind.
It can be converted to substantive if he acquires citizenship of a Commonwealth realm. So only honourary until that point.At the risk of being pedantic, I'd like to point out that an American cannot actually receive a knighthood. What Iger received was an honorary knighthood. And that does not entail the right to be called "Sir", so "Sir Bob Iger" is incorrect.

Bob is probably going to run out and get him a suit of plate armor.
Imagine the size of the ornate cod piece he is going to have installed.
In the realm of Disney, bright and grand,
There lived a knight with a heavy hand.
Sir Robert the Greedy, his name well known,
For the way his avarice had grown.
Not for valor, nor deeds of old,
But for the love of silver and gold.
He'd ride his steed through lands of cheer,
Leaving behind whispers of fear.
"Raise the prices!" he cried with glee,
"Let the costs be borne by all who see.
Cut the corners, reduce the show,
Profit's the only magic I know."
The people groaned, the people wept,
As into their coffers, his fingers crept.
Where once was joy and laughter bright,
Now lingered shadows in the night.
The churros once crisp, now thin and stale,
The joy once found, now a mournful tale.
Fireworks dwindled, parades grew sparse,
All to feed Sir Robert's purse.
With each ticket sold at a higher fare,
The burden grew too much to bear.
The parks, once places of dreams come true,
Became grounds of discontent, and rue.
Children's eyes once filled with delight,
Now dimmed with sorrow at the sight.
Of rides that broke and lines that grew,
All under Sir Robert's tightening screw.
The kingdom's magic began to fade,
Beneath the weight of the price he laid.
For greed had clouded his noble heart,
Turning wonder into a costly art.
Revolt stirred in the hearts of all,
From the grandest castle to the smallest hall.
"Down with Robert!" the cry was heard,
Across the lands, their voices stirred.
A hero arose, from common folk,
With dreams to mend what greed had broke.
Through struggles fierce and battles long,
The people's will proved true and strong.
Sir Robert the Greedy was dethroned,
His name a curse, his deeds atoned.
The kingdom, though wounded, began to heal,
As joy returned, the magic real.
In tales of old, his name remains,
A lesson clear in the realm's refrains.
Of how greed can twist and dreams can fall,
When profit's the master, ruling all.
Oh, Sir Robert, let history tell,
Of the greed that cast a sorrowful spell.
Yet through the darkness, light was restored,
When hearts remembered what they adored.
