Roy Disney has only been dead for a bit longer than a decade. His presence helped create a balance in the company during the Eisner era and I think many of the heights the company reached were precisely because of that friction.
I called it a lack of integrity because Disney's current direction has been to completely eradicate their legacy in favor of short-term profits from their collection of IPs or to appear "woke" to appeal to the Twitter mob. When Iger took over, suddenly Walt's name started to be dropped because the Disney name wasn't about the family name anymore but a brand that Iger was willing to milk for every dollar he could get. Not to mention, the character assassination Walt has received in recent years from Meryl Streep of all people who was a Harvey Weinstein enabler but likes to play a feminist hero when it suits her by impugning Walt's name, a man she didn't even know (and even that was more to kill any momentum for Saving Mr. Banks' Oscar campaign, particularly Emma Thompson in the Best Actress race).
I think the most demeaning thing the company did lately was their "celebration" for the 85th Anniversary of Snow White. The Disney Movie Club re-released the movie on Blu-ray to celebrate this anniversary with a new bonus feature. The bonus feature was all about how Frozen and Encanto are the real Disney classics whereas Snow White is an outdated and problematic film, but we shouldn't cancel it because it needed to exist in order for these "real classics" to come into fruition. And based on the quacks who tried to cancel Snow White over the ride revamp and all the controversy over the dwarfs, I wouldn't be surprised if one day Snow White goes the way of Song of the South or at least becomes as vilified as Gone with the Wind. I recommend to all its fans to pick up its merchandise now because who knows if it'll still be around for its 100th anniversary. I wish I could say I was speaking in hyperbole but it's pretty telling that when fans voted for Lego to make the Seven Dwarfs cottage into an official set, Lego approved it but needed additional permission from Disney and Disney vetoed it. Even though Disney had no problem approving of the Steamboat Willie and Winnie the Pooh sets which means it was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs that they specifically had an issue with and all of this occurred when the drama with the live-action dwarfs was in the news.
I always think back to how when The Little Mermaid was being made, Howard Ashman specifically wanted to make a movie that could stand on the same shelf as Snow White, Pinocchio, Bambi, etc. and be regarded as a classic. The motivations now whenever Disney makes an animated movie isn't to put their new products on the same shelf as their legacy movies but to replace those legacy movies for being "old" and "outdated" which I find to be so tragic and such a disservice to Walt's memory and all the other Disney employees. And that's true, not just for the new animated movies but also the live-action remakes which seem to be greenlighted based on how Disney can "improve" or "fix" those problematic old movies of theirs. I don't think it's a coincidence that two of the live-action remakes which still have a warm reception with audiences are Cinderella and The Jungle Book, both of which never went out of their way to denigrate the original moves in their marketing campaigns but constantly talked about their love and respect for the originals. Meanwhile the Snow White remake has its lead actress proudly boasting about how Snow White is a terrible character but she's finally going to be done right and how there won't be a creeper prince who goes around committing sexual assault (never minding the fact that this actress never called out her former co-star for the sexual assaults he's actually been accused of with minors, probably because that wouldn't have helped her career like trying to tear down Snow White does).
