Eisner should've left a long time ago. Filling the Board of Directors with your friends and cronies and having them reward you with lavish pay rises is soooooooooo passé.

Agreed. The guy is a pos.

Hearing this right after McCain's statements just made my day. Thank you CAD for bearing the second piece of good news for the day.

Face it, Eisner's the penultimate pr*ck and hypocrite, that was obvious when he issued a ban on facial hair for Disney employees, with Walt's mustachioed countenance looking over his shoulder. Hope he's forced out, too bad he can't go broke at the same time...

 

[Wag]

Eisner closed down Disney's animation department! Leaving just Pixar and live action. That probably did it.

I thought that was pretty boneheaded. Hand drawn is still the way to go. It's just that their writers suck. Don't these guys realize how popular anime is? They even purchase anime titles for US release.
