No question that the team of Eisner, Wells, and Katzenberg, who were brought in by Roy Disney and Stanley Gold in 1984, saved the Disney company and gave it a much needed shot in the arm. Unfortunately, once Frank Wells died, and then when Jeff Katzenberg left the company, ol' Mikey was left to flounder, and flounder he has. Eisner's long outgrown his usefulness to the company and has instead become a liability. He should have left right after
The Lion King.
Hell, even Nolan Ryan knew when to retire. When you can't pitch those fastballs quite so fast anymore, when your curveball isn't curving the way it used to, and when you don't have the same team you won the pennant with, it's time to hang up your glove and say thanks for the memories.
