A Spirited Perfect Ten

I believe Disney already said it would have a Frozen float.

NO MORE CASTLE FLOAT PLEASE.

So you're a "Disney Purist". Or as I call it, the know-it-all brand advocate.

That's a rather odd view of "purists," as most would probably bunch "purists" and "doom and gloomers" together.

I think Im more excited about the food ive ordered for the superbowl, less for the game

Trained raptors is such a stupid idea but them following a guy on a motorcycle just looks so cool.

Same. I'm baking muffins during the game and running to the tv for the commercial breaks.


I don't care vs. really doesn't matter.

More JP and Minions commercials, please

Adele Dazeem did OK, but you just know Iger would have preferred Demi Levato.

I'm really hoping Brad Bird gets a Star Wars movie sometime now.

I screamed across the house to my roomie "QUEEN ELSA IS SINGING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM!"

He called her Adele. Twice. No one can get the poor girls name right.

That half time show is something Disney would do if they were still in charge of halftime shows minus Missy Elliot.

Thought the floor projection during the chess part pretty cool.

Could be something to be incorporated into a trippy MK Alice in Wonderland show/ride.

And here's Jurassic World

Now that's more like it.

Some NBA teams use it for intros, some presentations are really cool, some so, so.

Couldn't care less if Tomorrowland is a good movie. But I REALLY hope it's a smash hit because a TL makeover in the style of the movie would look spectacular.

Ditto for Jurassic World for that matter. Would love to see the Jurasic Park area at IoA get a big dose of love. It's already lost 2 of its expansion pads to other movies - would hate to see it whittled down any more.

Agreed in both cases. I wouldn't mind at all if they did a complete overhaul of the Jurassic Park area to maximize space as needed.

In 2005, Iger came in and provided the type of corporate stewardship that was needed at that time. Iger brought calm to a company that was in chaos. As CEO, Iger has earned his pay. I think the obsession with Iger's compensation package is overblown.

The real question is whether Iger or his most commonly mentioned successors are right for the future of The Walt Disney Company. From this perspective, it might be a bit fairer to compare The Walt Disney Company with Apple.

This is the kind of dynamic performance today's investors want to see:

Since 2005, Apple’s revenue has increased from $13.9 billion to $182.8 billion, a compound annual growth rate of 33.1%.

With Iger, this is what they got:

Since 2005, Disney’s revenue has increased from $31.9 billion to $48.8 billion, a compound annual growth rate of 4.8%.

Many point to Disney President Frank Wells' death in 1994 as the beginning of Eisner's 'bad' years. Yet even during those 'bad' years, Eisner grew company revenue by a compound rate of 11.1% annually, more than double Iger's.

In 2005, Iger provided the rational mind and steady hand that the company needed. However, the need for that type of CEO has passed. Rasulo or Staggs would be more of the same. Disney needs dynamic leadership, not “Iger lite”.

Iger has been a fine administrator for the company as a whole but not a dynamic leader. The Walt Disney Company now needs a dynamic leader.

LoL. You are really working the repetition of that point.

LoL. You are really working the repetition of that point.

Yes, and you've repeatedly reminded me of your point.

What, are you a Seattle Seahawks fan?

I seen some stupid things in my life but that play call was the stupidest in the history of the Super Bowl.....somebody better check on the city of Seattle. It might not be there in the morning.
