DisneyWar

“When You Wish Upon a Star,” “Whistle While You Work,” and “The Happiest Place on Earth” are lyrics linked to Disney. The company is admired and revered, so when Roy Disney, Walt Disney Animation and nephew of founder Walt Disney, abruptly resigned in November 2003 and declared war on chairman and chief executive Michael Eisner, he sent shock waves through the entertainment industry, corporate boardrooms, theme parks, and living rooms around the world—everywhere Disney does business and its products are cherished.
