The last time they did that…their movie studio was foundering…and they couldn’t implement progress in the parks…I agree, especially with theaters struggling and the change from network tv to streaming being so vital to the companies future, I’d love to have a parks fan in charge but I think they have to go with a studio priority.
They'd probably be better off going back to a co-CEO (creative side/financial side) approach but I don’t think that’ll happen either.
It won’t be…but it’s a huge hitIO2 is literally on track to become the biggest animated movie ever, which bodes very well for Moana 2. Then you have d vs w which is tracking for an over $200 million opening. They had a bump in the road last year but they will the highest grossing studio again this year.

Promoting from within isn't going to yield a successful succession plan. For long term improvements they need to think outside the box they've created for themselves. More hive mind non-creatives following plans laid out by the former CEO isn't the way forward.
My contention is that the overall management of TWDC is the worst it’s ever been…and we can trace the steps how we got here…Yes, but “going outside” lends itself more to tech minded people, which in my view is a problem.
Unless outside includes someone like Staggs…
…oh boyWould they take John Lasiter back?
Did he get counselling regarding sexual harassment and alcoholics rehab?Would they take John Lasiter back?
Why do I have to have a preference? The best I can hope for is some unlikely indifference regarding the parks and delegation.Who’s your preference and/or prediction?
You want someone with as much disgust for the parks at 70% of the overall revenue as the failed weasel in the sweater they got now?Why do I have to have a preference? The best I can hope for is some unlikely indifference regarding the parks and delegation.
That though doesn’t mean I should just ignore history. Staggs is one the biggest, unsung architects of modern Disney.
If that's the case Staggs left Disney when the Board give him the big for the top job.Why do I have to have a preference? The best I can hope for is some unlikely indifference regarding the parks and delegation.

Someone with a ego that is satisfied with being the functional head of $DIS that does need to seek out his personal validation by masquerading as the lead creative of a single business unit of a much larger conglomerate.Who’s your preference and/or prediction?
You are not serious people.If whoever they announce isn’t from the outside…they’re not serious about this
Right…pull from inside a failing management structure…You are not serious people.
…umm…I think it basically has to be someone with some studio experience. I’d prefer Josh stay in his role as there is about a 90% chance whoever would replace him would be a worse park exec.
That line was from the TV Show succession. When the CEO (the Dad) tells his kids (exec management) they none of them are going to succeed him. Wasn’t a shot at ya.Right…pull from inside a failing management structure…
That’ll do it!!

Here’s the thing:
If you’re on the Disney board…which is easier?
Having your person steeped in the studio system get up to speed on basics of theme park management, or
Have a person who came up on the theme park side learn how the studio system works during a period of disruptive change?
