working for a media giant and having family that also works for a media giant, Disney. I also worked for the Mouse at one time, I can elaborate on many points about them.

Eisner is NOT driving the company into the ground. The other week they had some of the best financial news ever. Last year's stock growth was some of the highest the company has seen.

Disney doesn't just put out kids films. Look at Miramax, Touchstone, and Hollywood Pictures for some of the other areas that Disney has transformed.

As far as animation is concerned, yes they did get rid of their 2D animators, but if you look at the history of the company the 2D animation group has grown and contracted on a very REGULAR basis.

After going to Disneyland and California Adventrue, the original park has lost some of it's cache over time, but it's still entertaining and was wonderful to see the kids frolick to the plushies that were walking about. California Adventure was a bit more adult, serving beer and wine, which the original park does not do. CA was though desolate as far as theme parks go. Attendance is not doing great.

Eisner saved Disney in the late 80s and continues to keep the company profitable, if he didn't the board of directors would have already run him out since the investors would have demanded such action.
