    We have no obligation to make history. We have no obligation to make art. We have no obligation to make a statement. To make money is our only objective.

    Disney CEO Michael Eisner, in an internal memo in 1981

        He presided over some of their most successful years. In terms of profitability he was at least as good for Disney as Balmer was for Microsoft.

      I mean. In all fairness he’s not the current CEO and he is very much malighned as Disney’s CEO. He’s the main Blame for Disney’s worst years.

      But also I can’t find the actual source for that quote your referencing anywhere. Just a bunch of other posts, memes, and comments saying he said it. In 1981 he worked for Paramount. He didn’t work for Disney until 1984. So I’m a bit skeptical he even ever said that. Though it’s obviously absolutely possible.
