Description
DisneyWar: A Glimpse into the Turmoil at Disney's Highest Levels The Disney name is synonymous with beloved classics like "When You Wish Upon a Star" and "Whistle While You Work". However, behind the scenes, a different story unfolded. In 2003, Roy Disney, chairman of Walt Disney Animation and nephew of founder Walt Disney, resigned and declared war on chairman and CEO Michael Eisner, sending shockwaves through the entertainment industry. Drawing on unprecedented access to key figures, including Eisner, Roy Disney, and former executives, James B. Stewart reveals the inner workings of Disney's corporate boardrooms. He sheds light on long-standing mysteries, such as the rupture with studio chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg, the breakdown in partnership with Pixar, and the reasons behind Eisner's mistrust of Roy Disney. This book provides a unique insight into the tumultuous years at Disney, exposing the scandals that drove America's best-known entertainment company to civil war.
