I am not a big fan of Mr. Eisner right now. I think that he (and other Disney management, including Mr. Iger) are sacrificing the Disney legacy for short term profits (Bambi 2, Cinderella 2). However this article makes a good point, that for shareholders he has been very good.

Very interesting article, thanks for sharing it. This should certainly be a lively topic of discussion.

Certainly the company's financial results improved dramatically in the first dozen or so years of his tenure. You'll get disagreements over how much of that is attributable to him vs. others (like Wells). But the stockholders were certainly happy for quite sometime, regardless of who really was behind the various pieces.
